to ask you to think like a two year old.

[sphinxster]

DD's bottle has gone missing. Her brother has been taking them to random places around the house all week. I've searched all his usual haunts but can't find it any where. Where would an almost 2 year old put a bottle? We're in a standard 3 bedroom semi. I can't ask him as he's fast asleep.

Washing machine. Laundry basket. Behind the couch or the telly. In the bin. In a cupboard. In a pair of shoes.....

The list is endless

My two year old's favourite hiding places are the washing machine, kitchen drawers, the bin, behind the couch and under the buggy. Hope you find it!

When mine were that age, they used to love posting things back through the letterbox.

Under the sofa?

In the box of smartrike? (Bitter experience, keys lost for ages!)

Behind radiators, in kitchen cupboards, behind curtains, in toy oven, under furniture, behind sofa cushions...

In her changing bag? Any other bags, shoes, coat pockets?

My toddler hid the remote control in the curtain once, God knows how it managed to stay halfway up there - that's why I couldn't find it!

Hope you get lucky!

My 2 year old likes to hide things behind the sofa where only she can reach!

Inside a boot or shoe.

Was he using it to "feed" some toys / pets?

In the bath / shower?

Checked and double checked! Letterbox isn't big enough.

I've crawled through the house at toddler height and can't see it.

The little bugger!!

If he's anything like my little monsters little darlings it will be in the toilet! yes dd3 I'm looking at you

Under the sofa.
Under the boiler.
In the bin
Fridge and freezer, it contains food so needs to be in fridge, cupboard, freezer, logical,

In a bag or a box or something with a lid or a door

With teddy. Teddy is hungry,

In pram/cot/ Moses basket

Laundry basket

Behind the TV? That's where I found my car keys after an hour long search

I found kiddo's bottle under the sofa today. It's been there a week. Wasn't there when I looked a few days ago

Try the sofa. Or the oven. Or recycling.

Through the cat flap

My sister used to have a stash of handbags that's she'd hide things in. Heaven help us if we managed to find one of those bags. It was like coming across a diamond mine.
I'd check all drawers, under pillows, the bathroom, outside in the garden, behind the TV, the oven. Even the fridge and freezer. Once found some odd things in those last 4....

Bags are where my 2 year old puts stuff. Any bag, any where...

OMG this brings back memories of dummies stuffed into Fisher Price aeroplanes. The drama, the searching!

Possible places:
Basket under buggy
Toy box
Large toys that open like dolls house, bus with doors, planes etc.
Behind couch cushions.

Can't you use the lost bottle as an excuse to no longer have one? You did say she was 2 so she should really be using cups by now.

YY bags!

Out of the cat flap. In the bin. In the toy box.

Shoes, under the pram, in the pram, washing machine, tumble dryer, washing basket, toy box, fridge, cupboards.

It's her DDs bottle not the two year olds. The two year old is the one who's hidden it.

Love it when people give completely unsolicited advice though...

Op I'd say; any bag, bin, toilet, couch cushions, under beds, with a teddy

We found it.. Well, DH found it in a place a swore I'd looked.

Shoe rack! Not hidden, just placed nicely next to the shoes.
