Support a GIVING TREE Last-minute HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIPS

Brought to you by

Page 2B, 2021 Holiday Gift Guide Week 5

Black Hills Pioneer | The Weekly Prospector

Support a giving tree It’s common to find Christmas trees decorated with ornaments stating needs for your fellow community members.

Goods like new clothes, financial assistance for a family’s holiday or even a hopeful child dreaming of a new toy are typically on tap.

You can make a positive impact when supporting this wholesome cause.

If you’re unsure how this type of charitable outreach works, be sure to check with the organization.

Some may have different methods regarding how you send your gift.

Whether you ship it directly to a recipient or drop it off with the charity, it’s essential to make sure you follow the right rules.

Find a Giving Tree

You can use social media to your advantage when discovering giving tree charities. Ask your friends or family members for their experiences with similar organizations.

Here are some familiar places to look in your own backyard.

• Churches • Public schools • Grocery stores • Shopping malls

• Homeless shelters • Government buildings • Police or fire stations

What to send

Typically, the wish you select will tell a story about a struggle the recipient is going through and how their chosen gift will impact their life. While you should always purchase what they ask for, consider being extra generous by exceeding their expectations.

For instance, if a child has a wish for a simple clothing item, try to invest in a few different outfits and a new pair of shoes to add extra excitement on Christmas morning. Of course, you should keep your budget in mind to avoid a reliance on credit cards throughout the season.

Great gifts for avid snowbirds Every winter, millions of people — largely seniors and retirees — pack their bags, load up their RVs or book their flights with warm destinations in mind. Soon after they start sharing photos of themselves sipping tropical drinks on sandy shores while the rest of their family members are likely shivering in icy drifts back home.

This seasonal migration has become the norm for a distinct demographic who prefer to ride out the winter in locales that are free from snow, ice and frigid temperatures. The term “snowbird” was first used in the 1920s to de-

scribe seasonal workers who moved south for the winter months, and in 1979 it was used in reference to tourists who headed south each winter.

According to Vacations Made Easy, around 10 percent of the snowbirds who head to the southern United States each winter are Canadian. Florida is one of the most popular destinations for snowbirds.

A significant percentage of snowbirds

eventually will make their southern residences permanent. In the meantime, shoppers who want to give a fitting gift for the snowbirds who are still traveling each year can consider the following ideas this holiday season.

Golf course guide

Retirees often spend time out on the golf course. Offer a guide to various courses in southern states, and they can plan their trips by making road trips as they visit each course.

GPS device

While many snowbirds have cars already equipped with built-in navigation, those driving older vehicles may benefit from a GPS device they can mount to the dashboard, which will provide directions if they have to divert from their normal routes or when they want to go off the beaten path on their way to sunny skies.

Decorative stationery Make it easy for snowbirds to communicate with friends and family back home in a traditional way. Decorative

With two weeks to go before Christmas arrives, you should: • Buy and decorate your Christmas tree (if natural) • Wrap all of your gifts • Buy everything you’ll need for your holiday buffet (paper plates, napkins, cups, etc.)

• Pick up the turkey and all other last-minute menu items

How to participate:

note cards, post cards or other stationery can be a nice gift, and these notes can serve as mementos for recipients, particularly grandchildren.

Customized T-shirts

Have T-shirts monogrammed or customized with messages that play to snowbirds’ love of travel and/or sense of humor.

Beach essentials

Put together a gift that makes spending time on the beach more enjoyable. A beach caddy stocked with sunscreen, towels, an umbrella, and flip flops will give beachgoers a head start on gathering seaside essentials.

Food and wine carrier

Keeping items cool is critical in hot climates. A well-insulated food and beverage carrier can make picnics or snacks by the shore comfortable and safe.

Lounges

Whether you offer a zero-gravity lounge to set up on the lenai or a floating beach lounge for relaxing in the waves, a gift that brings relaxation to the next level will be appreciated.

Last-minute holiday shopping tips Some people thrive by doing all of their tasks early. Others seem to do their best work when faced with a time crunch. The methods individuals use to manage their time at work and play may extend to the ways they approach holiday shopping as well.

There’s no right or wrong way to handle holiday shopping tasks, though Christmas Eve crowds at malls and throughout shopping districts suggest that there’s more late comers than there are early birds. The following tips can help those who typically wait until the last minute to check names off their lists.

in the eleventh hour.

out on time.

Create a budget

When rushing around from store to store, it may be easy to spend more than you want to. Make a list of how much you want to spend on each person, and stick to that limit for each person. Move on to the next store if you didn’t find what you need in your price range.

Think about purchasing bulk gifts like gift baskets from wholesale clubs and then breaking them down into individual gifts. This way you can gift several people on one purchase and save time in the process.

Establish a time limit

Think about a gift that can be purchased for multiple people so you can save time shopping for individualized gifts for everyone.

For example, print a personalized photo calendar for several members of your family. You also can purchase multiple subscriptions or memberships to zoos or magazines for people on your list. Streamlining gifting in this way may save money as well as time.

Stores have strategies in place to keep shoppers in their establishments longer, hoping you’ll make impulse buys. These tricks include scenting the air with inviting aromas, putting necessities at the rear of the store, failing to display the time, and putting discounted items by the registers or door to attract shoppers. Set an alarm on your watch or phone for each store so you get what you need and get

Utilize free shipping services

Shoppers who shop for gifts online at the last minute run the risk of gifts not arriving on time. Many online retailers charge a premium for expedited shipping. Try to stick to shopping at online retailers that offer free shipping even

Make it a tropical holiday Set a warm, sunny vibe on a cold day with a tropically hued holiday decorating scheme. We’ve got everything you need to decorate for a toasty warm beachy celebration this year, from the inside out. A tropical decorating scheme starts with the color palette.

A new range of colors

so you’re not stuck with either multicolored or white. Look for whites you can make pink, purple or teal. If those are outside of your budget, stick with classic color schemes and accent it with inflatables and other outdoor decor in a tropical theme. You can also find premade light sculptures in stores in tropical shapes such as flamingos, beach scenes and more.

Ornaments

Now you can really have some fun.

Stores now carry inflatable Santa-hat wearing flamingos, Santas with sunglasses and palm trees covered in Christmas lights. You can also find the same types of decorations covered in metallic tinsel and sisal if inflatables aren’t your thing. Pair these with oversized ornaments in tropical colors, an awesome lighting scheme and some speakers blaring “Feliz Navidad” and “Mele Kalikimaka,” and you’re all set.

Instead of rich jewel tones, you’re going to need some new colors in your holiday decorating toolkit.

White, of course, is classic, and accents the warm colors of the tropics. You’ll also want a beachy tan, evocative of the sand, and some teal tones for water. Otherwise, look for pinks, peachy tones and yellows. As far as fabrics and textures, burlap is at home in a tropical theme, as are cool cottons in colors that accentuate your decor.

Hit up the stores and look for whimsical ornaments on a tropical theme.

Anything beachy, palm trees, fruit and more. If you want a more handson strategy, head to the craft store and get some shells suitable for crafting and paints. Decorate those shells with acrylic paint and Mod Podge or other sealants. This is also a great job for the kids to help with, too, to create some priceless holiday memories.

Yule know your history You’ve seen Yule logs on holiday cards, on holiday screensavers and even in the form of a holiday cake.

But where do we get it from?

Keep reading to find out.

Roots

The Yule log comes from Europe, where a specially selected log was burnt in the hearth as part of a Christmas tradition. It’s not clear where the Yule log comes from, but there’s a working theory that it stems from the pagan tradition of holding bonfires to break up the long nights of winter.

Traditions

It’s said that once the Yule log has been lit, it’s bad luck to have to light it again. Another tradition says the Yule log is burnt in pieces each evening from Christmas to Twelfth Night, then the remainder of the log is placed beneath the bed for luck and protection from lightning and fire. There are other traditions that have you count the sparks and other thing as the log burns to predict

your future in the new year.

Other Terms

The Yule log may also be called the Yule Clog or the Christmas Block or Gule Block. In Cornwall, England, it was also referred to as Stock of the Mock and in Wales, it’s the Boncyff Nadolig.

French folk call it the Buche de Noel, which may derive from the tradition of peasants bringing a log to their lord. In Baltic regions, people celebrate bluka viksana, or log pulling, where a log or stump is pulled through the village and winter solstice and burned.

Cake

from France, Belgium, Switzerland and thereabouts. It’s made from sponge cake filled and rolled, then decorated to resemble an actual log. They are often served with one end cut off and laid atop the cake or set on the side to look like a chopped branch. The cake can also be sprinkled with powdered sugar to resemble snow. Usual fillings and flavorings include chocolate, fruit jams, espresso and liqueurs.

10 gifts for automotive enthusiasts The roar of the engine and the feeling of the wind in your hair is part of the magic of taking to the open road behind the wheel of a beloved vehicle. Whether a person is the ultimate gear head who needs to have the latest aftermarket accessory or someone who simply appreciates a pristine ride, auto enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes. Luckily, there are all types of automotive gifts that can make it easy to impress car guys and gals this holiday season.

1. Dashboard phone holder

Using a mobile phone while driving is not a good idea. However, many people use their phones as GPS devices. Holding a phone while navigating is dangerous, but a phone mount near the dash can keep the phone visible without compromising the safety of drivers and their passengers.

destabilizes stains or bird droppings for an easy cleaning.

4. Magazine subscription

A wide selection of publications are geared to auto enthusiasts. They provide plenty of pertinent information, and some car lovers like to collect and display certain issues.

Yearly subscriptions are affordable and can make ideal stocking stuffers.

5. Racing experience gift certificate

Research racing car schools and experiences where you live. Chances are you can find an opportunity for an automotive enthusiast to get behind the wheel of a race car with professional drivers offering tips for navigating the course at high speeds.

6. Car cleaning kit

Taking care of a ride means making sure it is clean inside and out. A quality car cleaning kit can ensure the job is done effectively and the car or truck always looks its best.

7. Personalized leather keychain

Ensure that a person can drive and keep their keys handy in style with leather keychains engraved with a driver’s name or initials.

8. Racing video games

A love for the open road may not end when cars pull into the driveway. Modern racing games and consoles produce

incredibly realistic graphics and action that mimics real life.

9. Automotive cufflinks

As a nod to a love of driving, find quirky cufflinks that are shaped like everything from gear shifters to speedometers to steering wheels.

10. Roof or car racks

When a love of driving merges with the call of the great outdoors, drivers may need something to help haul their stuff. Various racks have been designed for toting around bicycles, kayaks, luggage, and more.

2. Customized floor mats

Know an auto fanatic who’s also a sports fan? Offer a gift that mixes the two passions, such as floor mats featuring a favorite sports team’s logo.

3. Cleansing wipes

When drivers are short on time, a full car wash and wax may not be possible. Drop Wipes are a product made from a neutralizing acid that

Great homemade food gifts Gifts from the heart are among the most coveted and appreciated come the holiday season. Hobbyists from all walks of life can turn their passions into handmade gifts, but few gifts may be as welcomed as those that can be eaten.

Cooking and baking

ramps up during the holiday season. People can turn extra time in the kitchen into opportunities to create festive treats that are ideal for gifting. But which items are the best of the best? Even though tastes are singular, these items will appeal to most foodies and others on your gift list.

Jams and preserves

Fruit jams and preserves are versatile foods. They are as at home on toast and biscuits as they are as fillings in cookies and tarts. Jams and preserves can be made with relatively few ingredients and work well with seasonal fruits.

Cinnamon rolls

Warm, sticky and full of aromatic spice, cinnamon rolls are the perfect comfort foods. These rolls do not typically have a long shelf life, so be sure to present them promptly before they get stale.

Pancakes (or cookies) in a jar

If you have a fantastic recipe that you can’t resist sharing, try turning it into a gift. Measure and package the ingredients into mason jars, tie with ribbons and include directions for preparation and cooking.

Mini bundt cakes

Fruit cakes may be a holiday standard, but bundt cakes make for great and traditional offerings as well. Miniature bundts filled with chocolate chips, dried fruits or even those soaked in a favorite boozy-butter glaze can be moist and delicious.

Chocolate barks or fudges

Seasonal flavors can come to life in chocolate treats. White chocolate filled with peppermint pieces or dark chocolate and cherry chunks are tasty pairings. Break apart portions of the bark or cut the fudge with cookie cutters and

gift inside cello bags tied with ribbons or in cardboard candy boxes.

Cocktail syrups

Create spicy or sweet syrups that are tailor-made for enhancing cocktails. Anyone on your gift list can then become a master mixologist.

Shortbread cookie ornaments

Circular shortbread cookies can be decorated with royal icing to look like Christmas ornaments.

They can be eaten or even placed on trees to complete holiday decor.

Festive cookie pops

Cookie pops can be made by mixing homemade or prepurchased crumbled cake with frosting or softened cream cheese and formed into balls. Insert a lollipop stick and dip the balls into melted chocolate or candy melts. Sprinkles, nonpareils or luster dust can be used to enhance the covered pops.

Ways to protect your holiday budget (StatePoint) It may be the season of cheer, but for many, the holidays are rife with anxiety about expenses. A recent survey shows that staying on budget is Americans’ top concern this holiday season, followed by

incurring long-term debt, shipping costs and being charged late or hidden fees.

Here are five tips to protect your holiday budget:

1. Set a spending cap with friends and family Americans plan to spend $998 on gifts this holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation. ‘Tis the season for giving, but make sure you don’t overspend. Know your budget up front and communicate that with loved ones. Another idea to limit spending is to put

everyone’s name into a hat. Each person draws one name and buys a gift for just the person they selected. You can add a bit of intrigue by keeping the identity of your recipient a secret until you open gifts!

2. Take advantage of deal days

Timing is everything for getting the best prices.

Do your homework in advance to pay significantly less. The typical big sales days include Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which offers online deals focused on clothing and travel. Plus, Super Saturday before Christmas is great for last-minute gifts.

3. Purchase gift cards with peace of mind

Gift cards are a popular, convenient gift, but some would-be buyers may hesitate to purchase them out of fear that the business may end up closing, especially those still struggling during the ongoing pandemic. Erie Insurance is taking away that concern with gift card reimbursement coverage, which is provided to certain eligible homeowners at no additional

charge. The coverage provides reimbursement for up to $250 per gift card at local businesses within 100 miles of a customer’s home if the business permanently closes within a year after purchase. Reimbursement coverage is limited to $500 per policy period.

4. Track when products are discounted with a browser extension

Do you want the best deals but don’t have the time to spend searching for them? There are extensions you can download on web browsers that will compare prices and even apply the best coupon codes at checkout.

5. Use credit card rewards

You’ve earned those points throughout the year and now is a great time to cash them in. The simplest way to use points is for gift cards, as it’s one of the top requested gifts and there are many categories to choose from, including restaurants, clothing and grocery stores. Another option is to take advantage of the money saved from a statement credit to cover the expense of holiday gifts.

Tips for holiday road trips After a 2020 holiday season in which the pandemic forced the postponement or cancellation of festivities, families are planning to get together once again in 2021.

Many people will head home for the holidays this year, and the vast majority will take to the highway to do so.

The U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics says the Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year’s holiday periods are among the busiest for long-distance travel.

The highways will be busy with motorists criss-crossing the country to visit loved ones. Holiday travel may require covering a long distance in a limited amount of time. Finding ways to be efficient in regard to time management can reduce stress and improve safety.

Travel at night

If you can safely manage it, you may experience considerably less traffic in the evening hours than during other times of day. In addition, if kids are in tow, they may

sleep much of the way, helping to reduce the number of times they ask, “Are we there yet?” Share driving responsibilities with another person so that each driver can take a break to prevent drowsy driving.

Get a vehicle maintenance check

No one wants to get stranded on the side of the road with a car filled with gifts and treats. It’s well worth the investment to have a mechanic give a vehicle a checkup prior to leaving. Get an oil change even if it’s a little early to do so. Look at tire tread wear and ensure that you have the right tires for the road conditions where you’ll be headed.

Plan your route

People often rely on mobile phone or dashboard GPS systems to get where they need to go. However, it helps to have a general idea of the route so that if service drops out you can still find your way.

Scout out rest stops or acceptable

restaurants online prior to leaving so you have a plan for making stops in safe areas.

Stock the car

While presents may be taking up valuable real estate, pack a cooler with snacks and beverages to help reduce how many times you need to get off the highway.

Also, games or other forms of entertainment can keep children occupied on long trips.

serious injuries. Travelers United, a nonprofit organization that represents all travelers, also warns that quick storms that pop up after a long dry spell can immediately make road surfaces extremely slippery.

Use caution.

Slow down in inclement weather

The holiday meal can be reheated if you’re late, so don’t feel compelled to speed or drive erratically when the weather is stormy. It’s not worth the risk of getting into an accident that can cause

3 holiday crafts to make together Decorating for the holidays can be made even more special when decorations are handmade creations families can cherish for years to come. Holiday crafting is an enjoyable way to pass some time and create lasting holiday traditions and memories. The following are some crafts families can make together.

Personalized elf

For families who want to make their own personalized elf dolls, all it takes is a little computer knowledge, some clever photo work and some sewing skills. Find a template for a rag doll sewing pattern or an illustration of an elf online. Superimpose an image of your child’s face on the template in a photo editing program. Print out the entire image onto iron-on fabric transfer paper. Iron it on to a light-colored piece of fabric from the craft store according to the product directions.

Cut out the fabric with ironed-on decal, leaving about a one-inch margin to allow for sewing and eventual stuffing. Duplicate the shape of the doll onto another piece of fabric to make the back of the elf doll. Place the front elf image face down on the back piece of fabric and sew the edges together, leaving a small opening at the end. Using that opening, flip the elf right-side out and stuff with pillow fill material. Sew the small opening closed and enjoy a personalized elf doll for the holidays.

Holiday candle

This craft is attractive and also smells good. Gather one bar of fragrant soap (like Irish spring); a small, white washcloth; red and green ribbon; a round of colorful mesh or tulle fabric measuring roughly 12 inches or enough to wrap your bar of soap; craft glue; a piece of yellow felt cut to look like a flame; and one or two sewing pins. Roll the washcloth into a cylinder shape to serve as the “wick” of the candle. Glue the edges together and wrap a piece

of ribbon diagonally around the wick and adhere to secure even further.

Glue the felt flame to the top of the wick. Place the soap in the center of the round piece of fabric. Attach the wick vertically to the soap using the pins. Then gather the tops of the mesh fabric around the base of the wick and use another piece of ribbon to tie into a bow and secure the fabric to the wick base. The soap and pins should now be concealed. Place the “candle” out of direct sunlight and away from heat, preferably on a little dish so the soap will not damage any furniture.

Growth indicator ornament

Purchase a large glass or plastic Christmas tree ball.

Select an acrylic paint in your color of choice and

squirt some into a paper plate. Have a child dip his or her hand into the paint and then transfer the handprint to the ornament. Let dry and then attach a ribbon to hang on the tree.

Through the years see how much children have grown from that little handprint.

Perfect pies According to the American Pie Council (yes, there is one), pie has been around since ancient Egypt.

The first pies were sometimes made in reeds, used for holding the filling and not for eating with the filling.

One of the first pie recipes was by the Romans, and it was for a rye-crusted goat cheese-and-honey pie.

Sweet fruit pies didn’t come around until the 1500s, and English tradition credits Queen Elizabeth I with the first cherry pie. Pies came to the New World with European settlers, and the crust was still usually not eaten with the filling. That’s a fairly recent — and delicious — development.

Berry Hand Pies 2 cups mixed fresh berries 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsps sugar, divided 2 tablespoons quick-cook tapioca 1 package double pie crust 1 tablespoon milk 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 large egg 1-2 tablespoons flour 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Place a round of pie dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut out six Christmas tree shapes using a medium-to-large Christmas tree cookie cutter. Cut star shapes out of dough scraps using a small star cookie cutter.

3. Set aside the dough stars and move the dough trees to a cookie sheet.

4. Whisk the egg thoroughly and

Black Hills Pioneer | The Weekly Prospector add the milk, then whisk to combine.

Brush the egg mixture lightly around the border of each tree.

5. Place the second round of dough onto your work surface, then cut out more trees and stars. Coat a rolling pin with flour and roll the cut shapes to make them slightly larger than the first round of shapes.

6. Cut steam vents into the dough trees using a ravioli cutter. Cut them in semi-circles to look like garland.

Using a straw, cut small holes to look like ornaments. Set aside the top crusts.

7. Place two cups berries into a medium bowl, cutting large berries into smaller pieces. Add 1/3 cup sugar and two tablespoons tapioca. Stir the berry mixture gently, then spoon it onto the tree bases, leaving a 1/2-inch border around each.

8. Lay the top crusts over the

bottom crusts, and then crimp the edges with a fork to look like tree branches. Brush the pies with the egg mixture and decorate with the dough stars. Brush with the egg mixture again.

9. Place two tablespoons sugar into a small bowl. Add the cinnamon and stir to combine, then dust the pies.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan.

Serve when cooled.

Don’t forget your pets this Christmas Pet owners across the world are sure to purchase gifts for their favorite furry friends this holiday season.

Pets, after all, offer us companionship and humor throughout our lives. So, why wouldn’t they make your holiday shopping list?

Odds are, you’ve got a great local business in your community that is ready to spoil your cat or dog this holiday season. Hunting down gifts for your dog or cat can be as simple as dropping into a local pet shop or finding out what they have online.

Pets are part of the family

A recent survey by Rover, an online pet store, surveyed 2,000 dog and cat owners in the U.S. and came away with these results:

• 80% of pet owners plan to purchase a gift for their pets this season.

• 68% of owners plan to buy multiple gifts for their pets.

• 55% of owners plan to spend at least $25 on their pet for holiday gifts.

• 20% of pets will receive more gifts than human members of the family.

• 77% of owners said they will include their pets on holiday family traditions.

Given these numbers, there’s no doubt pets will be spoiled by their owners this year. If you fall into this category, remember that shopping at your local pet shop can actually keep money in your community and pay for things like dog parks and other infrastructure needed by the pet owner community.

Local businesses in this space are depending on customers like you to keep their businesses thriving for years to come.

Give the gift of grooming

If you have a special pet in your life, maybe a custom grooming is the best gift you can give. Check in with your local pet grooming shop to see what kinds of services they offer.

There may be opportunities to pamper your pet with a wash and conditioning, as well as a nail trimming or haircut.

Tips for successful Secret Santa exchanges

Let it snow.

Let it sparkle!

As flurries of snow, twinkling lights and yuletide greetings fill the air, our hearts and spirits are lifted by the pure joy of Christmas time.

May the spirit of the season fill you with the same sense of wonder and contentment into the New Year and beyond.

Thank you for helping to make 2021 an outstanding year for us.

We owe our success to the loyal support of friends and customers like you, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the kindness you have shown us.

The holiday season provides plenty of opportunities to socialize.

Holiday celebrations are sometimes akin to family reunions, but friends also tend to celebrate together in December. Such celebrations sometimes include different groups of friends, and that may require hosts to do a little extra to break the ice so everyone relaxes and has a good time.

Secret Santa gift exchanges can make for a great ice breaker, even if guests are buying gifts for people they don’t know. If you plan to make Secret Santa part of your holiday party this year, consider these tips to ensure it goes off smoothly.

Start planning early

Hosts likely know everyone coming to their party, so they should take the lead and organize the Secret Santa exchange. Let guests know as early as possible, even including the information in the party invitations, so they have time to shop.

Make it optional

Forcing people to mingle and exchange gifts is never a good idea.

Give guests the option to participate.

Ask them to indicate if they will or won’t when they RSVP.

Set a reasonable gift limit

Figure out a budget that works for everyone. There are plenty of gifts to be had for $20 and under. Gag gifts or “dollar store” gift themes can ensure no one goes overboard in terms of dollar value.

Consider a wish list

Asking participants to fill out wish lists ensures that their Secret Santa buddy will have an idea where to start shopping.

Enlist a digital helper

Technology can make organizing Secret Santa exchanges even easier.

Elfster is an online gift exchange app that can help hosts effectively organize their Secret Santa parties.

The Nuts

These girls are Macadamia, Hazel, and Pecan. They are roughly 6 months old.

They came from a rough start and are still a little shy around people but they are not aggressive. They do like playing with toys and each other when they think no one is watching, and you can hold/pet each of them. They will need people who welcome a challenge and are willing to give them a little TLC.

Won’t you help us stock the Pet Food Pantry?

Just drop off food at WHHS. Immunize, spay/neuter, shelter from the cold, and LOVE your pets!

Teach Your Child Simple Arithmetic When it comes to safety, your child is never too young to learn their basic ABC’s. Like his full name, address and how and when to call for help. Since most young children have a natural fascination with the telephone, one good idea might be to buy your child a toy phone of their own. Then have them practice dialing mommy or daddy at work, calling for information or dialing the operator. Even a preschooler can easily memorize 911.

Once your child has this mastered you can instruct them on when it is appropriate

to use the real telephone. Be sure to keep a list of important numbers in a handy place where you child can see them. When outside the home, you may way to tape some change somewhere on your child’s clothing or belongings and teach them how to use a pay phone as well.

Life is full of surprises, so it pays to take a moment now to teach your children how to call for help. It could be the most important lesson they’ll ever learn.

Child Safety. It’s a matter of show and tell.
