For my three year old I found that a small piece of Duct tape works great. Put the tape over the thorn before they go to sleep and in the morning take the tape off slowly. it has always worked for me.My son hates to wear shoes in the summer and its easier then tweezers.

when you get a thorn and your scared to pull it out or you have kids and they dont like it just soak it in warm water for 20 minutes and massage out it works.

My son feel into a Cactus and had them all over his hands, there were 2 things we did. First I used a soft toothbrush and brushed out all of the loose ones and then used duct tape on the remaining ones. He is 3 so made a game of it and let him pull the tape off. Took a while but they finally all came out.

place a glass soda bottle in boiling water, remove bottle after 3 min with tongs and oven mit. place in counter. while waiting for bottle to cool, rub salve or vaseline on the wound, when the glass is cooled enough to touch (yet still hot), place the opening of the bottle over the thorn. as the glass cools the air inside will create a vaccume which will pull out the thorn.

Mix some jagger and carom seeds and apply to the thorn. The thorn should work its way out by itself.
