Here are 5 ways to reorgan your kitchen to make it more child friendly

Adding small, label baskets can help them find out what they want without any disturbances.

Every time their utensils request, instead of catering, keep the child friendly dishes, cups and cutlery in the low cabinet.

3. Child-proof danger area
If you have toddlers, security comes first. Ensure that sharp objects, cleaning supply, and breakable items are stored in high or locked cabinets. Use childproof cabinet latch or magnetic locks to keep dangerous and sharp objects out of access. For additional safety, consider having stove knob cover and corner protectors.
