Child Switch Extender
Got kids who can't quite reach the light switch? This project will help. It allows you to use the existing screws that are on the switch plate. They ride in a slot. This particular file has a heart shape on the lower end so little fingers can push or pull the switch. You could change that shape to whatever fits your child.

Instructions
All cuts use an 1/8" bit and through the entire depth of the material except the outside portion of the screw slot. That cut should only go about 1/2 way through the material. It's intended to create a shoulder for the screw head. This file should work on any standard light switch plate or on one side of a double switch plate. You could create any sort of fun shape at the lower end to serve as a place to push/pull the switch.
