Toy Shops on the Internet...
Toys aren't cheap, and young families usually can't afford to buy
the newest and greatest toys for their kids. But these toys looked
so wonderful, we decided to include them anyway! (Maybe you're one
of those creative people who could get some ideas for toys that you could
make from things around the house -- or from garage sale finds.)
Fun Activities...
One of our favorite ideas -- Preschool
Activities in a Bag is a great book written by two homeschooling
moms and tested by over 70 families with small children. Very
practical, great ideas for grandparents & babysitters to use with
little ones, or wonderful for families who travel a lot (such as
missionaries)!
To Make You Laugh and Cry...
Penny's Kool-aid Playdough Recipe
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 cup salt
3 Tbsp. oil
1 pkg. of Kool-aid
Mix all of these together, then add 1 cup boiling water.
Knead it together -- this makes very pretty colors! Be careful with
the boiling water around the little ones! You might knead it for a
minute or two and then it will be cool enough for the kids to handle.
I don't know if you can bake this and make permanent ornaments or not.
