Helping Toddlers Reach the Sink

This world has gadgets and gizmos aplenty, and now there’s even one to help you solve a totally typical toddler obstacle – REACHING THE SINK.

If you’ve got a toddler, you’re probably trying to teach them the importance of personal hygiene (which can sometimes feel like an uphill battle).

Most toddlers are too short to reach the sink to wash their hands or brush their teeth, even with the assistance of a foot stool.  But fear not. Amazon to the rescue!

Faucet extenders are all the rage these days and great for parents who want to give their toddlers a little confidence boost in the bathroom.

Essentially, a faucet extender is a simply, inexpensive contraption that fits on to most faucets to extend the flow of water closer to the edge of the sink so that children can reach.  You can find faucet extenders in all kinds of materials, including BPA and PVC free plastics.  A lot of the options are even dishwasher safe.  

This simple, and removable extender really alleviates any tantrums and messes due to height issues.
