Poppy Pin: Ouch!

[Dreamalittledream]

So, 3 year old daycare child arrives with poppy on...so meant to take it off right away, but drop off chaos (fun chaos:) ) ensued. Within 5 minutes..."where's your Poppy Jane?" "Dunno". Pop my crawler in the booster, pop the rest into circle time with my 9 year old reading...and frantic search for poppy and pin. Guess what...my toe found the pin...ouch!

Gotta love the parents !! We have to think for everyone.

Hope your foot is ok :)

I actually have in my contract that any items that could cause harm to any child (jewelry, necklaces, hair accessories with small pieces etc) are not to be worn to daycare. I would classify a poppy in that category. sigh...some parents just don't think

Great idea. I will be adding that too.

What do you do about hair clips? I have 1 child who wears them as her mom is growing her hair. She is pretty good about keeping them in but sometimes they come out :(

I tell them to use the little elastics (like for braces). the kids have a harder time pulling them out
