Booster Seat made out of things you have at home!

My 3 year old hasn't used a high chair for a long time and his booster seat with the tray wasn't working anymore because he really didn't need the tiny tray for his food or to be strapped in. So, for awhile I removed the tray and just scooted him up to the table.  Then the straps became a problem because he would strap himself in and then not be able to get out!  You know how it goes!  

I had a little restaurant style booster but I didn't like how it slipped around on the seat:

I came up with this idea based on the ol' phone book booster that I remember having to sometimes use as a kid.

What you will need:

-1 to 3 phone books (depending on how thick/tall you want it to be) approximately the same dimensions.

-a layer of packing material or bubble wrap and packing tape

-decorative duct tape

Put the packing material or bubble wrap on the top to make it softer to sit on:

Wrap the packing tape around to hold it all together:

Then just evenly cover it with the duct tape.  I used a gummy bear pattern: 

The duct tape has sort of a non-slip surface, so it stays on the chair well.

 And he likes it too! Now to give away all the old boosters!  yay
