Where the heck has the toddler put my keys?!

[PenguinOnThinIce]

Was meant to be meeting a friend for coffee and a walk. Had to pop home after school run to pick up changing bag for DS2. In the two minutes I was occupied with checking I had spare clothes for him etc he has somehow managed to hide my keys so well that I’m still stumped an hour later. Car and house keys so a big bunch as well! He can’t reach the letterbox to post them outside, I’ve looked under the sofa and chairs, in all accessible bags, in the bookcase, in his toyboxes. Any other ideas?!

In the bin? Understairs cupboard? Windowsill? Behind cushions? Your handbag or his changing bag?

Sorry just read you've checked bags

In the loo or bin? In a cupboard?

Do you have a little pushalong car thing with a box under the seat? That’s where mine always were!

Ds threw dh's keys on a wardrobe a la Peppa Pig style..

Toy kitchen or inside shoes. Favourite places here.

Toy box? Toilet? Have u left them in the door?

Still in the outside of the front door from rushing into the house? (done that before)

Give him another bunch of keys and watch him...

They'd be inside shoes here too

Out of a cat flap?

Have you looked in your kitchen cupboards? Ds is always putting random stuff in there

Stuck behind a radiator

In the footstool, the toilet, their toy box, laundry basket, bin, dog bed,

In your coat pocket for safe keeping

In the seat of any ride along thing, in a house?

Drawer or cupboard he gets into.
Anyplace he likes to store things like a squirrel with its acorns.
Radiator, as stated (almost always the case).
Inside shoes/wellies, saucepans inside the drawer.
Dog/cat bowls
In another door lock, like a bathroom door lock which he’s trying out.

Inside shoes, inside a saucepan with the lid on, under a corner of the rug, slid underneath the sofa, in any pockets he has? These are all places dd has helpfully put mine. “Keys gone mummy!” Is my most hated phrase.

We had a ride along train by vetch- one which you’d pop the letter blocks throughto shoot out into the train’s ‘carriage’. DS always put my keys through there. I’d invariably find them among letter blocks inside the train’s carriage.

Try looking inside shape sorters too.
Anyplace/toy he can ‘post’ the keys through via slots and openings.

Out the letter box ?

My ds' favourite place!!!!

Did you find them?

If not down the loo, I'm going to guess inside a toy (do you have a play kitchen or anything with a door that opens and shuts) or on a chair seat that's out of your view because they're under the table.

Found them! Under an upside-down plastic bowl in a kitchen drawer .

Well duh, obviously!

Dolls pram / change bag? Toy box? Behind / under sofa?
