Kids, man! They eat all your food, poop their pants, and take up all of your time! Now it's summer and you can't get their sticky jam hands out of your hair. Parents Magazine has a solution, according to a Tumblr user who got their hands on next month's issue. Freeze your kid's toys!

The post reads:

Break the ice (literally!) with this challenge for kids ages 4 and up. Gather a bunch of waterproof trinkets and place a quarter of them on the base of a large plastic container. Fill a quarter of the way with water, then freeze until solid. Repeat in layers until filled. Pop out the ice block, and see where she can figure out how to get to the goods. Now kick back: You just scored a half hour of "me time."

First of all, who has this much room in their freezer? Freezing a bucket of water would take longer than the "me time" you're supposedly scoring. Here's an idea: To save time, you could freeze individual LEGO bricks. That'll get your kid nice and riled up!

If you end up freezing your kids toys, please let us know. Send us video of the confused looks on their tiny little faces.
