We have very large, very heavy wooden doors in our home. It has always been a fear of mine and my husband's that one day one of our children would end up losing a finger when his/her sibling slammed the door. So, to keep this from happening, and to keep our little one from closing herself in her room, we cut up one of those Styrofoam pool noodles from the dollar store and put it on the side of the kids' bedroom doors. We put them up in the morning and take them down at bedtime; very simple.
 |
| We cut the noodle into one foot long pieces and then cut a slit down the side. Over time the slit has widened to the shape of the door. |
 |
| It slides right onto the edge of the door. |
 |
| With it on, the door can close but will leave a one inch (or so) gap so that fingers don't get pinched and the door doesn't latch. |
