Oh yeah, you guessed it. Someone poured his Magic Mud onto the chair before I caught him. That is when I grabbed the camera instead to take a picture.So what do you do for those messy meals or craft projects when you have carpet underneath the dinner table?
Unfortunately our town home came with carpet of all things in the dining area. This is totally not kid proof if you have a child old enough to eat. Kids throw food both on purpose and sometimes surprisingly not on purpose. Food always ends up on the floor and messes happen. It is a part of having kids. We talk about replacing the carpet with hardwood but until then we needed a interim solution.
It was my husband who came up with the idea as soon as Judah moved to the high chair to use a clear office floor mat to protect the carpet. One can hardly tell that this classy mat sits underneath his chair. There it sits though protecting the area from just about every mess, fluid, and concoction imaginable. And on a day like this, it sure came in handy serving its purpose as all I had to do was wipe it down with rag and sweep the remains.
If you need to protect your carpet, try using a clear plastic office floor mat underneath the high chair.
By the way, if you have not had an opportunity to play with Magic Mud, green slime, check it out here. It makes a great indoor activity on these winter days.
