Product Information

You thought the day was light years away, but all of sudden, your child can reach the light switches and you’re scrambling to child proof them before bedtime so they’re not having a tiny toddler rave at midnight. If you’d rather not spend money on a light switch protector, you can make yours at home. Here are the steps to make your DIY light switch cover: Yup, we’ve all been there. Child proofing light switches is relatively simple and it won’t take you long, but you need the right tools to get it done. I put this together because I know how important it is to keep your child away from switches, especially when the garbage disposal is feeling vulnerable.

On the other way, you can also cover all the electrical outlets to make them safe for your child. Follow the same procedure as you followed to make the light switches childproof. Remember, your child is not completely safe until you cover an electrical outlet, even that is the last one. 3. Enclose Power Cords You can hide the switches. Yes, you can. We know your kid’s safety is the first priority for you. If you rearrange your furniture, you can hide most of the switches. You won’t have any problem using the switches, but your child won’t play with them. 2. Explain the Danger Affix the cover into position. Place your DIY cover over the light switch, making sure to line it up against the holes, then insert the screws and tighten them to hold the cover in place.Since toddlers are curious, they are very likely to try touching the electrical outlet with their fingers just to see what happens. If you have ever seen a fly get zapped by an electric fence, then you know that this is not something that anyone would want to happen, especially if it was your kid!

Remove the existing screws from the switch plate. Place the plastic piece over your light switch and mark where the screws will go. Use your screwdriver or the screws you removed to punch holes in the plastic. 4. Screw the cover in place.Move the chair. Do you have a chair or cushion that gives your child a leg up to reach the switch? Consider moving it away from the wall if it’s practical. A few futile attempts to reach the switch and the child will most likely forget about it. In the market, you find different types of outlet protectors. Collect those protectors and put them into your electrical outlets. The protectors are not too hard to remove for adults, but your child cannot remove them easily.
