9/21/11 Update: This is an oldie, but a goodie. I still use this tip all the time!
Big Sis, my 7-year-old, got a splinter last week. That used to mean Daddy digging at it with some super-sharp tweezers. Until I heard this idea somewhere:
Rub the splinter with a pumice stone to remove it.
So I had her wash her hands in the sink, then rub the splinter with the pumice stone. After about 5 strokes, she stopped to examine it.
Gone!
Easy and painless works for me! Check out more great ideas at Rocks in my Dryer We Are THAT Family.

Huh? Wow..that is awesome! I’m so glad to learn this one.
My girls hate their dad digging for anything. Thanks.
Oh what a great idea! “)
Genius! I still have memories of my father chasing me down with a pair of tweezers saying, “It will only hurt a bit!”
WOW… I too have some graphic memories of tweezers…. what a fabulous idea with the pumice stone. I will most definitely try that!
I’m defintely going to file that one away for future use. It’s a lot less traumatic that the traditional route! 🙂
Great idea! My boys are always having problems with splinter! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Awesome Idea!
This is great for when the splinter isn’t sticking out and you can’t grab it with the scotch tape.
Thanks for posting this on my blog!
