Can you try training him to always put them in, say two or three designated places around the house when he takes them off? I know he is a little kid, but maybe use a reward system or something,
Perhaps set some special dishes around the house and train him to only put them in the dish -- then give him rewards for doing it each day.
Worth a try. Kids want to please and do things right.
He has a couple of different spots that they **usually** are in.
When we go to our living history events, after losing them in a MUD PUDDLE ( he loves mud and water I tell ya lol ), to be found a few days later, we’ve just been taking them off of him for the whole weekend. Then they stay in my purse hidden under a wool blanket or deer hide !
7 out of 10 times they’re on the night stand as I often take them off of him after he’s fallen asleep.
I’m just so dern happy that they were found. WOO HOO
