Letter From The Publisher Greetings, Happy Holidays! It is crazy that another Holiday season is upon us again!

I always feel caught off guard and unprepared.

No matter how much I say “This year I will start my shopping early”, it never seems to happen.

Frequently, it happens that I get to the store and I am like a deer in the headlights in the toy aisle of Target trying to remember if my son already has that Paw Patrol figurine or if it is the new one he really wants. Then I start questioning, does he really need another toy? Check out page 14 for our annual list of 100+ non-toy gift ideas. Perhaps your child’s playroom is overwhelmed with stuff they don’t even play with and you need some inspiration on some practical gifts they will love!

I would say hands down one of my favorite gifts are yearly passes. My family has multiple passes to local attractions. It really adds up with our family of 2 adults and 3 children to have family memberships. They often pay for themselves by the second or third visit. All year long, there is always something to do on the weekend. I also find it nice if I need to do something to keep the kids busy for a couple of hours that a quick trip to the Zoo or the Science Center does the trick and I don’t have to worry about needing to stay all day to get my admission ticket’s worth. We check out the newest exhibits or animals that are my children’s favorites and then head on our way to finish up our day. Good luck with preparing for the holidays. We hope that it isn’t too chaotic!

Happy Parenting,

These colorful animals hatch right out of their shells! Simply place the eggs in a container of water, and within two days, the eggshells will slowly break. Over the next few days, these lifelike creatures will start to grow, causing the eggs to crack and finally hatch… Once hatched, keep your new pet in water for up to three weeks for continued growth, then remove to play with your surprise new friend! But don’t worry… if you can’t wait to play with your new pet, you can take it out of the water at any point and put it back for continued growth. These lifelike creatures can grow up to ten times in size!

Animal Planet Super Grow Eggs are offered in a wide variety of series: Animal Planet Pets, Rain Forest, Safari, Sea Creatures and Dinosaur Series.

Each series of Animal Planet Super Grow Eggs includes three Animal Fun Fact Cards which provide interesting facts and allow your kids to learn as they play and know what they grow! Available at amazon.com and at specialty retailers nationwide.

BY SARAH LYONS

There is nothing more heartwarming than a gift made by a child. Handmade gifts are affordable, fun to make, and can be given to parents, grandparents, teachers, and siblings. Here are some gifts that are sure to make someone special smile this holiday season.

Prints All you need is a child’s cooperation, some paint, and a little creativity to make a gift that will be cherished for years. Handprints, fingerprints, and even footprints can be used to make a variety of crafts and art. Websites like Pinterest are full of ideas of how to make a handprint into a picture of Santa, a Christmas tree, reindeer, or snowmen. There are literally hundreds of possibilities. Try putting your child’s prints on an apron, ornament, tea towel, oven mitt, or T-shirt to give to a special

Tasty Treats Kids love to help out in the kitchen, so why not put together some tasty treats for some sweet people in your life? Get the kids involved in the holiday baking and put together a plate of cookies the kids can help deliver to a neighbor or friend. Putting a homemade cookie mix into a mason jar also makes an easy gift that kids can help with. Finish the jar with a holiday bow and instructions and it’s ready to be delivered.

There is great value in teaching kids to give gifts to others. They learn to be generous, thoughtful, and experience the joy of giving. They also learn the important lesson that gifts do not need to cost a fortune to be cherished.

Ways to be Thankful • For Children (and Adults) of All Ages •

Thankful: adjective thank·ful : glad that something has happened or not happened, that something or someone exists, etc. : of, relating to, or expressing thanks Does it seem that children today don’t know the meaning of being thankful? We live in a consumer based, technology driven world and sometimes life flashes by so quick. We are in such a hurry that we often don’t have to stop and be polite and thankful for the world around us.

Here are some tips on how to help your child show thankfulness and maybe a refresher for adults too!

1. Just say thank you: Practice using roleplay using good manners and saying “thank you” using stuffed animals and action figures.

2. Start a tradition: Not just for Thanksgiving 20 November 2016 | PB Parenting |

Day but every week. At dinner time ask everyone to share at least one thing they are grateful for.

3. Be an example to younger children. You may not know it but they are watching you.

Adults and older children can set a good example.

4. Hug Someone! Tell them that you are thankful for them being in your life.

5. Say thank-you with cookies. Prepare and deliver a homemade “thank you” to your local fire or police department, or your pediatrician’s or dentist’s office.

6. Help out without being asked. Make it a goal to do so once a day — and for any member of the family.

7. Thank a teacher or coach. Send a handwritten note to let him know how

much his efforts make a difference.

8. Volunteer a Saturday. Think food pantry or animal shelter, and try to make it a regular commitment.

9. Pay it forward in the drive-thru lane. Use your own money to pay for someone else’s meal.

10. Create a Thanksgiving scrapbook. Ask everyone to jot down their thoughts or contribute a photo on Thanksgiving day. Be sure to update it and add to it each year.

11. Encourage generosity. Together donate toys and clothes to the less fortunate.

12. Thank your children when they do something kind or good. Show thankfulness to the ones closest to you (spouse, friends, relatives) so they know gratitude isnt just for strangers.
