Mom's cardboard iPhone hack could save kids' lives in an emergency situation

Teaching your child important phone numbersis necessary, but it’s not usually very much fun.Fortunately, TikTok user Myriam(@mothercould) has devised a fun hack forhelping kids memorize phone numbers.In her video, Myriam starts by drawing aniPhone number pad onto a ziplock bag usinga permanent marker.

Then, she pours a little bitof hair gel into the bag and seals it up.Next, she uses a hot glue gun to attach a cardboardframe to the plastic bag, which provides structurefor the makeshift phone and makes it easier to handle.Finally, she uses a dry-erase marker to write a phonenumber onto the bag, and shows how the number canbe easily wiped off and replaced with a new one.The final product is a cardboard phonethat kids can practice dialing on withoutworrying about accidentally placing a call.The hair gel inside the plastic bag givesthe phone a squishy consistency that makespressing the “buttons” fun for kids.“I’m literally saving these at 18 so I can make thesefor my babies when I’m older,” one TikToker responded.“Squishy and fun to pressthe numbers!” wrote another
