Teething toys

[5 Little Monkeys]

Just a side note- I actually had a 4 year old once who was laying in the nap room. She had a necklace on. She ended up breaking it and put all the beads that fell off into a playpen with a sleeping infant. Luckily the infant was sleeping and never realized they were there. I was horrified! From that point on no jewelry allowed ever!!

Yikes....little stinker!! That's when the video monitor comes in handy too!

I have one 3 year old who sometimes wears a necklace. It usually comes off before lunch (her own choice) but if not, I make sure to take it off before nap. I've also had to start taking her ponytail out because she has a habit of putting it on her wrist or ankle and I don't like that. She also has her ears pierced and those could fall off too I guess? Heck, even my own nose ring has fallen out and it took me months to find it!!! Lol

I view necklaces in the same category as scarves, shoelaces, string on clothing and dress up clothing, ponytails, play masks etc. I don't outright ban them but make sure to use caution. It's kinda like the swing issue too right? Some don't have swings on their play structures and some do. IMO, it's good for kids to learn how to be safe with certain things.

That was while I had the video monitor. She was so quiet about it that the monitor didn't turn on. I didn't even realize she had it on because it was under her shirt.
