how to give a toddler a hair cut

I gave Max his first real hair cut today. His hair was getting a little out of control and with the heat it ended up getting all sweaty and gross at times.

Supplies:
Scissors, comb, cardboard box and some sort of entertainment.

Sit baby in the cardboard box with some sort of entertainment to distract them. I used the laptop with youtube.
Maya kept trying to take the scissors away from me so I put her in the box with Max. (It is going to be a while before Maya gets her first hair cut.

All the hair left in the box

The finished product:

  3. Alisa you are so smart - what a great way to 'keep' them still!

    (I used to. . . well I was going to tell you how I use to give my kiddos haircuts, but as I think about it I'm too embarrassed to write it in a public forum?!)

    Max looks great! And one day Maya will have long red locks that clog up the bathtub drains and are all through everything - but they will be beautiful!

    (I was a baldy as a baby, but my hair came in no problem and was my best physical feature when I was younger - now it's getting a bit too white and washed out, but hey, I had great natural color while it lasted.)

    Love you guys,
