If you have the kind of
blood that attracts
mosquitoes like a moth to
a flame, place a fabric
softener dryer sheet in
your pocket. Mosquitoes
are repelled by the scent
and you’ll smell like
summer breeze all night!
Wrap cheese
chunks in aluminium
foil and store in the
fridge to keep your
cheddar fresher
for longer and to
keep mould out.
Make your child’s very own ‘Car
Wash’. Can provide hours of inside
or outside fun. Great for those
children who have sensory issues i.e.
don’t like to get their hands messy.
Can provide tools for the job such
as a spray bottle and tooth brush!
