Genius Kids Who Work Smarter, Not Harder
These kids could probably skip right past elementary school and move straight into running their own companies. They've figured out that you don't need to work hard in life to get by; you just have to work smart. There are often unconventional and innovative solutions to your problems. You just have to figure out what those solutions are.
Keep reading to see some kids who took laziness to the next level, who made something out of nothing, and who made the best out of a bad situation.
A Better Cookie
This kid took the cream out of a double stuffed Oreo and put it in between two Chips Ahoy cookies. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a chef in the family.
Cheese On The Go
This girl should really start selling this genius invention to the masses. Cheese sticks exist, but they don't exist in these retractable plastic tubes. We think she's on to something here.
The Laziest Way To Drink
This kid wanted to be able to drink his water without getting up off of his chair or moving his body at all. That's why he made this super long straw.
A Superhero Mask
Kids can see potential in the most mundane of objects. This kid saw a Happy Meal box and thought, "Hey, that would make an amazing superhero mask." That's pretty creative.
He Made His Own Tongs
This kid wanted some salad, but he couldn't find any tongs in his house. He decided to make his own by taping two forks together. He could have just waited for the tongs to come out of the dishwasher, but this works too.
Top Secret
This kid installed a security camera on the outside of his door. Obviously, he has top-secret stuff in his room, so the whole area around his door has to be constantly monitored.
A Smart Solution
This kid's pants kept falling down, so she came up with a smart solution to her problem. She just put on five pairs of underwear at one time. The extra bulk made her pants stay up.
She Made An Air Freshener
This kid thought that her house was smelling kind of stale, so she uncapped all of her smelly markers and stuck them in the fan. That's a lot of different smells to contend with at once.
DIY Nunchucks
This 7-year-old girl figured out how to make nunchucks out of a pair of doll's legs and a piece of red string. Clearly, somebody is parenting very effectively. This is what girl power looks like.
A Different Kind Of Band-Aid
This kid hurt his foot and he wanted to put a bandage on his boo-boo. He went into his mom's bathroom and found this "Band-Aid" that really isn't a Band-Aid at all.
When You Can't Find A Hair Clip
When you can't find a hair clip, a bunch of those clips Mom uses to close chip bags will have to do. When a girl needs her hair tied back, she's got to use what's available.
A Popular Queen
Well, what did this teacher expect kids to write in response to this question? Are there any queens that are especially popular other than Freddie Mercury or Rupaul? Elizabeth II is popular, but she's not a superstar.
Lazy Tennis
These girls wanted to play tennis, but they didn't want to run or stand or really move at all. They came up with this game of sitting tennis, and they seem to be having a good time.
A Makeshift Salt Shaker
This kid took one of those containers that little toy rings come in, poked some holes in the top of it, filled it with salt, and mounted it on a stick.
Stop The Spoon
This kid came up with an invention that stops his spoon from falling into his bowl of cereal. He taped a clothespin to the back of the spoon so he could clip the spoon to the side of the bowl.
The Perfect Snack Holder
Why just use your head to hold glasses and pens when you can also use it to hold snacks that you're saving for later? He'll get around to eating that applesauce eventually.
What We Need Right Now
Now, this kid is thinking big. She's looking for solutions that benefit the whole of humanity. Are these glasses going to work? Probably not, but hey, nothing else has worked, so they're worth a try.
A Banana Plate
This kid invented a "banana plate." He's very proud of himself. Who knew that a banana peel could serve double duty as a plate? This kid is a genius. Bananas are amazing.
He Made A Game
This kid is 14 months old, and he's already an inventor. He invented a game that involves pushing a little yellow bead around the kitchen floor using a chopstick. He's either going to be an inventor or a hockey star when he grows up.
A Kindle Holder
This kid wanted to be able to read books on his Kindle without having to hold the Kindle. That's why he created this Kindle holder out of a bunch of Lego bricks.
Smiling Fruit
This mom walked into her kitchen in the morning only to discover that all of her fruit was smiling back at her. Her kid obviously thought that their apples, oranges, and bananas could use a makeover.
Breakfast Cups
Check out this kid's breakfast innovation. He made breakfast cups by putting bits of sausage into hard-boiled egg whites. We only have one question: Where did all the egg yolks go?
Keeping Cool
This girl was on a long drive to Florida with her family when her mom turned to face the backseat and saw her like this. She told her mom that it's great that they have all these wipes to keep them cool when the car gets hot
A New Way To Sit
When you look at a chair, you probably think that there's one natural way to sit on it. But this kid is so smart that he's come up with a different way to use a chair.
Hot Dog Tongs
This kid didn't want to get his hands dirty while enjoying his hotdog, so he came up with the concept of hot dog tongs. Now he can eat his hot dog and he doesn't even have to wash his hands after.
The Best Way To Play
This kid figured out how he can still be comfy and play his game even when his Playstation controller needs to be charged. He brought that whole table closer to the TV.
A Lollipop Holder
This kid has figured out how to eat a lollipop without using his hands. He just tapes the stick to the side of his face so he can enjoy his candy hands-free.
How To Eat A Corn Dog
Well, we've certainly been eating corn dogs wrong our whole lives. This kid has figured out a more refined way to enjoy this battered, fried, meaty snack. The look on his face says it all.
True Or False?
This kid didn't want to fail his quiz, so he made sure that every answer could be interpreted as both true and false. A good idea that didn't pay off. His teacher caught on to his plan.
A Living Pillow
This kid figured out that he could use his dog as a pillow. His dog doesn't seem to mind that much, plus all of that fur makes him super comfy.
