In our household, dealing with kids' flus and colds is a sticky process. I mean this literally: we are usually well-doused in prescribed medicine before any of it actually ends up inside the child.
It's not necessarily that the kids don't want the medicine itself--the stuff tastes like Kool Aid these days--it's more that the actual procedure is kind of scary for them. To Tiffany Krumins, the solution was perfectly clear: make medicine-giving fun. She even went on ABC's "Shark Tank" to debut her idea: AVA the Elephant, a cute, talking medicine dispenser.
You just remove the dropper from AVA's trunk and fill it with the prescribed amount of medication. Then you clip it back in, press a button on the back, and AVA says, "One, two, three... open wide! Good job!" while you squirt the medicine into your kid's mouth.
Turns out nothing takes the scare--or the stickiness--out of kids' medication like a cute $9.99 talking elephant. Magic. -Lexi
Prepare your medicine-averse kid for the next cold or flu with AVA the Elephant medicine dispenser
