How to keep 1 year old away from the Christmas tree

[Jellybabie3]

No its not up yet but seeing how he obsesses over the tv speakers we're doomed.....

Advice please

We use a puppy pen to keep our trees safe from our dogs and the neighbours toddler.

You can pick them up cheaply on eBay.

You can’t, is the answer. The year DD was 1 we just got a mini tree and stood it on a table.

No we wont have presents down til Christmas eve night (when father Christmas comes obv....)

We had an artificial one, with unbreakable decorations and left them to it.

The worst that happened was DS got hold of the chocolate decorations one year...….

We bought a felt xmas tree that you can pin on the wall. It was about £6 from ebay. It's not as pretty as our usual choice but we've no room to make other arrangements as the entire living room is my son's play area now.

This one.

Have you seen the toddler trees? Pretty cute for one year. And cheap!

I have twins, we put the tree up and just decorated the upper branches

@Rednaxela a bold idea, that I am actually going to attempt that after reading it, it does kind of make sense. Our first year with intrigued Toddler

With my son - At aged one we used his playpen. This year at aged two we bought a smaller tree and it’s going on the sideboard where hopefully he wont be able to pull it down. God knows where all the presents are going to go!

I did the same as @GreenTulips

A lot of the time it's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. A few days of 'no, don't touch' and physically moving them away from the tree really isn't that hard

You can say no to your children you know 😂

bananarama Some children aren’t deterred by being told no and moved away. For some that makes them even more determined to do said thing.

Put the tree in a room you less frequently hang out it
