Question about Window Blind Accessories?

I'm having a difficult time searching for this since I don't really know
what they are called. We just recently had window blinds put in on all the
windows in our house, and when the blinds are pulled up, there is a lot of
the pull string left hanging. I know this is a hazard for kids and our
kids always love to play with them when they are hanging down so low.

Isn't there something that you can put on the blind strings to "pull them
up" when you have the blinds up? If any place would know, I figured you
guys would!

Thanks in advance for any advice/pointers.

p.s. Henry and Ella turn 2 in May. ;-)

Jonathan,

You can buy a device that will wind the window blind cords up. Try
onestepahead.com.

We have window blinds, but thankfully our son doesn't bother them much.
But, I just tie up the excess string and loop/hook it on one of the slats
of blinds. Keeps them out of reach until you want to unhook it and lower
the blinds.
