Curiosity can get the best of anyone. But when you are pint sized and can fit into almost any tight space, sometimes that is a recipe for disaster. Or, a recipe for some laughs by mom and dad who got their cameras out before they actually made the rescue.
Here’s a list of 75 kids who found some of the funniest and most awkward places to get stuck in. The looks on their faces says it all and thankfully no one was hurt – except maybe their pride when they see proof of their shenanigans when they are little older.
1. Is There A Puppy Over Here?
Perhaps this little sweetheart spotted something on the other side of the fence. Could it have been a puppy, bunny, or a little kitten? Whatever the case, she will think twice before poking her head in tight spaces again.
2. Not So Easy Bake Oven
The little chef is taking cooking to new heights never seen before. And maybe for good reason! She does fit in there quite nicely, but it is going to take some help from Mommy to get out.
3. Rock Wall Disaster
What kid doesn’t love to climb a rock wall. But when it “bites” back and catches you on the way down, it’s not quite as fun.
4. Is There A Leak Under There?
This little polka dot sweetie may or may not have a future in plumbing ahead of her. But, for now, she’s going to need a little assistance after checking the sink for leaks.
5. Helmet Somersault
We don’t think this little one meant to do a somersault, but when you are wearing a heavy helmet, sometimes momentum can get the best of you.
6. Where Are My Legs?
One minute you’re resting in your crib, and the next your legs seemed to have found another dimension to live in. No doubt mommy and daddy came running for her cries of help.
7. Lamp Shade Slide
We’re not sure if this little one is trying out a new dance move, or just plain stuck in that bright blue shade. We are guessing the latter, but in the meantime Mom got a picture to tease him about later.
8. Help!
Sometimes things can slide on our heads so easily, but then taking them off is quite another matter. The look on her little face says it all, but after it was removed I’m sure the family got quite a laugh from it.
9. Barbie To The Rescue
Or maybe not! We aren’t sure how this Barbie got stuck to this little girl’s hair and I’m sure mommy tried not to laugh too much getting it removed.
10. Baby Gate Disaster
Well, this baby get almost got the job done, but in the meantime, the little one managed to get halfway through before someone came to fix the situation.
11. Pretty In Pink
Sure, the basket fit over this little one’s head just fine. And sure, those holes seemed the perfect place to stick those cute little arms. But turns out, it was a recipe for disaster. I’m sure this little one will avoid baskets for the next considerable future.
12. Ring Of Fun
Well, she thought it might be at first anyhow. We aren’t quite sure how she accomplished this feat, but thankfully mommy can fix the situation by pulling her out the top quite quickly.
13. “I Was Just Trying To Get A Treat”

14. Twin To The Rescue
Thankfully when you are a twin, your help is never far away. But the question remains, was it the twin that got him in the predicament in the first place?

Have you ever seen a cuter laundry basket? With those little feet sticking out I’m sure mommy got a good laugh before she started getting her work done.

When you are low to the ground to start with and the snow is extra fluffy, well, you might find yourself in the same predicament as this little cutie. Though she might not think it as funny as the rest of us, her little legs do look cute dangling above the ground like that.
22. Just Hanging Around
It’s funny how little kids can get themselves in situations we could have never dreamed up on our own. Apparently, that hitch serves more purposes than hooking up to a trailer, it also can help corral a little one. That is, until daddy can get there to get her released.
23. Turns Out I Don’t Fit
Sure, a drawer looks like a safe cozy place. Well, that is if you are a pair of socks. But, not so much for little boys. Until mommy can get there to rescue, at least he’s getting a little arm workout in.

Daddy works on the car, so why not this little guy? Thankfully it won’t take superhuman strength to rescue him from under it.

32. Tight Squeeze
All this little guy wanted to do was climb a tree on a nice fall day. But, this tree had something else in mind as he ends up getting a little “hug” from it instead.
33. Time To Pack
Mommy was getting her suitcase out when her little one jumped in the closet and then before you could blink slipped between the suitcase and the wall. It’s such a tight little space, but with that cute pony tail sticking up, I’m sure mommy will find her right away.

Well, maybe not so much. These little ones quickly found out their toys fit inside so much better than they do.

39. Stroller Mishap
Sorry kiddo, but that basket is meant for carrying little bitty things. But with the look on his face, I think he figured that out already.
40. A Matching Set
A blue shirt . . . a blue bucket. Why not put them together? Might have been a good idea if the bucket was just a little bit bigger.
41. Princess On Her Throne

42. Keep Your Head Down
Not sure how this little one managed to get herself stuck in the drawer, but it was going to take some very still movement to keep her head down long enough to get the drawer open. I’m sure she sill think twice next time she has the idea to fit into a small space.

45. Darn Hood
Thankfully it was just her hod that got caught in the door, though I’m sure she felt quite confused why she seemed to be “stuck” to the car.
46. Knob Of Trouble
I’ve never thought how quickly these innocent knobs on cabinets can turn to trouble until seeing these kids. What is innocent and friendly to an adult, can be a little tricky for youngsters.

Sure, this castle is the perfect size for playing in – just don’t try to go inside through the front door.

This mom had to do a double take when she checked on her little one watching TV. Though he looks stuck to us, apparently he’s just fine with that peaceful look on his face.
50. How Is This Even Possible?
Imagine dad’s shock when he looks up and his little one is stuck inside the toy machine. I’m sure it looks like a fun place to be with those games and toys, but he quickly found out he’s meant to be on the outside.

This little guy will think twice before putting things over his head. I’m sure he was quite nervous when grandpa got out the saw, but he was very careful and had him free in seconds.

Seemed an innocent enough thought, but since it was a vacuum hose, this little one got way more than he bargain for. But after this, no doubt, he had a greater understanding for how a vacuum works.
57. Gates Are Actually A Good Idea
We’re guessing this little guy tried to climb the fence instead of looking for a gate. Likely next time he won’t try to take a shortcut and walk around to find the gate instead.
58. Table Of Not So Fun
Sure, she fit in that hole, but going by the look on her face, she’s not too happy about it.
59. Just Following Kitty
Unlike our last little doggie door escape artist, this little one does fit through the door. Mommy will have to keep her eyes extra wide open keeping tabs on this little one from now on.
60. Built In Chair
While sometimes we would like to have a chair really handy to sit down on, this chair is just a little too close for comfort. I guess when she snapped the straps in, she didn’t realize it meant for good. Well, at least until mommy or daddy came to the rescue.
61. Toy Box Bottomless Pit
Toy boxes really can hold so much and by the looks of things, this one is about the hold a polka dotted toddler making a quick entry in. Though, I doubt that was her original plan.

Here’s another little one stuck in the toilet – but notice he has soap in hand. At least he must know a scrubbing is in order once he’s freed from the situation.
