Stuffing Noses Top 10
Keep an eye out on your kids while they play this Memorial weekend! The following are the TOP 10 things kids stick up their noses:
- Crayons
- Beads
- French Fries
- Fingers (duh!)
- Marbles
- Spaghetti
- Tissue
- Cheerios
- Small Toys
- Beans and Peas
Some kids never develop the habit of sticking things (other than their fingers) up their noses. Some kids, unfortunately, do. The best approach is to stay calm and give reasonable explanations as to why it’s a bad habit, in terms that’s easy for them to understand.
Simple phrases help: “Noses are for breathing not stuffing.” “Cheerios are for eating”. “If you can’t keep it away from your nose, it’ll be taken away”.
Here’s to hoping you won’t have to use any of them this weekend!

My mom is a nurse for a pediatrician… and let me tell you some of the stories are HAIR RAISING….. but it has kept me on my toes with my little one. Though her favorite nose thing is the finger still.
