TIDBITS® SPARKLES WITH DIAMONDS by Kathy Wolfe “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” “Diamonds are forever.” “Diamonds in the rough.” Whatever you say about these precious gems, you can’t deny they are desirable! Tidbits has all the dirt on diamonds this week – read along and see! ● The word “diamond” has its origins in the Greek language from the word Adamas, which translates “unconquerable and indestructible.” The Greeks believed them to be splinters of stars that had fallen to Earth and believed diamonds promoted strength, invincibility, and courage to those who wore them. ● Ranked as the hardest natural substance on Earth, diamonds are composed entirely of carbon, the only gemstones composed of just one element. They are formed at high temperatures under intense pressure 87 to 120 miles (140 to 190 km) within the Earth’s mantle over billions of years. A volcanic eruption can often bring diamonds to the Earth’s surface. Although there are synthetic “diamonds,” there is no man-made way to reproduce the tremendous heat and pressure found deep within the Earth that creates diamonds. Millionaire publisher Malcolm Forbes had this to say about diamonds – “Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs.”

DIAMONDS (continued) ● Although diamonds are 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on Earth, they are quite brittle and can be shattered by the single blow of a hammer. And if a diamond is placed in an oven at a temperature of 1405° F (763° C), it will disappear without leaving so much as an ash behind. ● About 250 tons of earth must be mined to produce a single one-carat diamond. Over 130,000,000 carats weighing 57,000 lbs. (26,000 kg) of diamonds are mined every year – a value of about $9 billion. ● Of all the diamonds to be found on Earth, only 20% of them are suitable for jewelry. The majority of diamonds are used for industrial drilling, grinding, cutting, and polishing tools. Diamonds are embedded into drill bits for drilling oil and gas wells through thousands of feet of rock. ● Diamonds were first discovered in India, but most diamond deposits are found in Africa and Russia. There are significant deposits in Brazil, Australia, and Canada, and in a few U.S. states, Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. There’s only one mine in the world where you can be a miner, located at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, a 37.5-acre ancient volcanic crater. For $7, you can mine all day and keep anything you find. In 1990, one lucky park visitor found a diamond weighing 3.03 carats in the rough. After cutting, the gem was a perfect 1.09 carat. Don’t get your hopes up, however – gemologists estimate this was a one in a billion occurrence. ● Although less than 1% of diamonds are mined in the U.S., America buys more than half of the world’s total production of quality gems. ● Although blue, green, and pink diamonds are extremely rare, they are not the rarest gems. That honor belongs to the pure red ruby. Diamonds themselves aren’t actually rare at all, with thousands mined every year.

● On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from Boston to warn leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching on Concord on a mission to confiscate the Massachusetts militia arsenal and capture Adams and Hancock. ● On April 19, 1876, a Wichita, Kan., commission votes not to rehire policeman Wyatt Earp after he beats up a candidate for county sheriff. Earp's Remington pistol made an effective club: Whenever possible, he preferred to pistol-whip his opponents rather than shoot them. ● On April 16, 1897, Frederick Winterbotham, one of Britain's top code breakers, is born. Winterbotham would play a decisive role in the World War II Ultra code-breaking project, enabling British intelligence to intercept top-secret messages (even from Hitler) transmitted to and between German armed forces. ● On April 21, 1930, a fire at an Ohio prison kills 320 inmates, some of whom burn to death when they are not unlocked from their cells. The prison, built to hold 1,500 people, housed 4,300 prisoners at the time of the fire. ● On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson, age 28, becomes the first black player in Major League Baseball when he steps onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, N.Y., to compete for the Dodgers. Baseball had been segregated for more than 50 years. ● On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang is officially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World's Fair in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. That same day, the new car also debuted in Ford showrooms across America, and almost 22,000 Mustangs were immediately snapped up by buyers. Ford sold more than 400,000 Mustangs in its first year. ● On April 20, 1971, the Pentagon releases figures confirming that "fragging" is on the rise in Vietnam, with hundreds of reported incidents. Fragging was a slang term used to describe U.S. military personnel tossing a fragmentation hand grenade (hence the term "fragging") to kill or wound or a fellow soldier, usually a superior officer or NCO.

It's My Mother or the Dog DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My mom keeps complaining that she wants to visit me at my new apartment, but that my dog, "Frankie," sheds too much and causes her allergies to flare up. Frankie is one of those "no-shed" breeds of poodle, so I don't know why she thinks he's the culprit. How can I solve this? I'm not getting rid of Frankie just so she can visit. -- Abigail C., New York DEAR ABIGAIL: Perhaps there's a happy medium the two of you can reach. First, understand that even dogs whose coats don't shed much hair are not really "allergenfree." Dander, which grows close to the dog's skin, can still be shed and can cause allergies to flare up. Other environmental issues in the apartment can contribute to your mother's allergies. In winter, dust can build up, and mold spores and pollen can enter even the cleanest apartments through heating air ducts. Reduce the amount of allergens by dusting and vacuuming

frequently. Wash and dry area rugs before your mom's visit. During days with high pollen counts, keep the windows shut and run the air conditioner or heater instead. Be sure to change or clean the unit's filter, if you have access to it, to reduce the amount of allergens coming through the system. If she still insists that the dog is the culprit, consider boarding Frankie for the day or two that your mother is visiting, or having a friend keep him during that time. You shouldn't have to give up your pet just so your mother can drop in occasionally, but you probably can come to a compromise that will enable her to visit. Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner. com, or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

DIAMONDS (continued) ● A diamond’s value is based on the “Four C’s” – carat weight, clarity, color, and cut. A diamond’s carat is not the same as that of gold. Pure gold is considered 24 carats, while one diamond carat is 0.007055 oz. (200 mg). Not all diamonds are clear. The presence of impurities causes the gems to vary in color, as can heat or irradiation. Nitrogen in a stone produces a yellow color, while irradiation might produce green. Blue, red, brown, pink, orange, and even black might result from the presence of both irradiation and heat. Clear diamonds are the highest grade and value. ● Diamonds lose about 50% of their original weight during the cutting and polishing process, changing a rough stone into a faceted gem. One diamond weighing two carats is worth double that of two one-carat diamonds. About 75% of all diamonds sold worldwide are round cut. Other popular cuts include the footballshaped marquise, the pear cut (which are rounded on one end with a tapering point on the other), and the emerald cut, a rectangular shape with cropped corners. ● The world’s largest diamond was found in South Africa in 1905. Dubbed the Cullinan, it weighed 3106.75 carats uncut, three times the size of the next largest diamond, the Excelsior, also found in South Africa. The Cullinan was cut into the 530-carat Great Star of Africa and the 317-carat Lesser Star of Africa, along with 104 other diamonds of flawless color and clarity. Today they are all part of the British crown jewels.

● It was pioneering British director of suspense films Alfred Hitchcock who made the following sage observation: "The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder." ● If you're an arachnophobe, you probably don't want to know that a tarantula can live for up to two years without eating a single thing. ● If you're like the average American man with a job, you spend 8 minutes per day cooking. If you're like the average American woman who works, you spend 50 minutes a day preparing meals.

Vegetarian Lasagna

We substituted veggie crumbles for greasy ground beef to cut the fat without losing the protein in this supereasy vegetarian lasagna. 1 jar (25- to 26-ounce) marinara sauce 1 can (14 1/2-ounce) diced tomatoes 1 package (8- to 9-ounce) oven-ready (no-boil) lasagna noodles 1 container (15-ounce) part-skim ricotta cheese 1 package (8-ounce) shredded Italian cheese blend or shredded mozzarella cheese 1 package (10-ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 cup frozen veggie crumbles 1. In medium bowl, combine marinara sauce and tomatoes with their juice. 2. Spray 4 1/2- to 6-quart slow-cooker bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 1 cup tomato-sauce mixture into bowl. Arrange one fourth of noodles over

sauce, overlapping noodles and breaking into large pieces to cover as much sauce as possible. Spoon about 3/4 cup sauce over noodles, then top with one third of ricotta (about 1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Spread half of spinach over cheese. 3. Repeat layering 2 more times beginning with noodles, but in middle layer, replace spinach with frozen crumbles. Place remaining noodles over spinach, then top with remaining sauce and shredded cheese. 4. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook as manufacturer directs on low setting 2 1/2 to 3 hours or on high setting 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until noodles are very tender. Serves 8. Veggie crumbles are a heat-and-serve vegetarian meat substitute found in your grocer's freezer. If you prefer, you can substitute 8 ounces ground beef, browned, for the crumbles. „ Each serving: About 415 calories, 17g total fat (8g saturated), 37mg cholesterol, 1,120mg sodium, 41g total carbs, 6g dietary fiber, 24g protein.

● There are four times more astrologers than astronomers in the United States. ● You may not think it significant that in 1921, Earle Dickson's wife had a tendency to injure herself while working in the kitchen. He kept bandaging her wounds with gauze and adhesive tape, but the bandages always seemed to be slipping off. Finally, in exasperation, he put a small piece of gauze in the center of a piece of adhesive tape, which worked beautifully. None of this would have made any difference to us today, except that Dickson was an employee of Johnson & Johnson. He took some samples of his invention into work, where the owner, James Johnson, loved the idea. The BandAid went into production shortly thereafter. ● In the 1979 gubernatorial election in Louisiana, a man named Luther Knox was fed up with the candidates on the ballot. In order to give like-minded Louisianans an option, he ran for the office himself -- after legally changing his name to "None of the Above." ● You might be surprised to learn that rock star Elvis Presley's idol was General Douglas MacArthur.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 DIAMONDS (continued) ● The legendary Hope Diamond is a 45.52-carat deep blue stone famous for a supposed curse upon its owners. Its blue color is attributed to trace amounts of boron and nitrogen within its composition. When exposed to ultraviolet light, it produces a red phosphorescence, a “glow-inthe-dark” effect. The curse alleges that the gem brings tragedy to all who own it or wear it, but it’s likely that the stories were fabricated to heighten the diamond’s mystery and consequently, its value. However, legend has it that two owners committed suicide, another was killed by Russian revolutionists, one murdered by her sweetheart, and another thrown from a precipice. At one point, the gem was in the possession of Marie Antoinette and her husband King Louis XVI, who were guillotined. It’s believed that the Hope Diamond came from a mine in India, and was brought to Paris by a French gem merchant. It currently resides in the Smithsonian Institute, donated by diamond merchant Harry Winston in 1958. The irreplaceable gem is reportedly insured for $250 million. It’s displayed behind a 3-inch-thick (76 mm) bulletproof glass in its own display room. ● It’s become traditional to present one’s intended with a diamond when proposing marriage. This dates back to 1477 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gifted Mary of Burgundy with a diamond upon their engagement. It’s also customary to wear engagement and wedding rings on the third finger of the left hand. This is because the ancient Egyptians believed that particular finger’s vein ran straight to the heart.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD: DR. JOYCE BROTHERS We know her as a leading authority on love, marriage, and child rearing. Read along and learn of Dr. Joyce Brothers’ journey to fame. ● Joyce Diane Bauer didn’t set out to become a celebrity. Born to attorney parents who had a law practice together, Joyce attended school in Queens, New York. It was on to Cornell University for her undergraduate work followed by a Ph.D in psychology from Columbia University, writing her dissertation on anxiety avoidance and escape behavior. ● Joyce married medical student Milton Brothers in 1949, and when she discovered she was pregnant, the couple made the choice for Joyce to give up her teaching position and remain at home with their child. Living under financial strain on Milton’s $50 per month medical resident salary, Joyce decided to audition for the popular quiz show The $64,000 Question. Because her husband was a fan of boxing, she had studied numerous reference books on the subject, and when the sponsors suggested it as her topic for questions, she readily agreed. Her sharp memory enabled her to answer the most difficult questions accurately. In 1955, she became the second person and first woman to win the $64,000 top prize. The follow-up program in 1956, The $64,000 Challenge pitted her against experts in the field of boxing, and after answering every question correctly, she nabbed the $70,000 prize money. Her total quiz show earnings of $134,000 made her one of the biggest winners in the history of TV game shows.

1. Is the book of Hosea in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. From Luke 8:2, how many demons did Mary Magdalene have in her? 1, 3, 7, 14 3. Who wrote in Proverbs 13:24, "He that spareth his rod hatest his son"? David, Solomon, Job, Ruth 4. From Judges 13-16, who was the strongest man on earth? Hercules, Samson, Obadiah, Thor 5. During the great flood, how many humans were on the ark (Gen. 7:13)? 2, 4, 6, 8 6. In Psalms 68:5 who is "father to the fatherless"? Oneself, Heaven, Fool, God

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 DR. JOYCE BROTHERS (continued) ● Following her much-publicized success on the quiz shows, Joyce became a popular guest on many TV shows, including a stint as a commentator for a CBS boxing match between Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilia. Joyce was so well-liked by the viewing public that she was offered her own afternoon talk show, one that gave her the chance to use her psychology skills. She fielded questions from the audience, offering advice on relationships, raising children, and other life issues. The program was an immediate success and before long Joyce was receiving 1000+ letters a week. Not only was the show syndicated nationally, within a few months, a late-night show dealing with more “adult” issues was added to her schedule, followed by another live call-in radio program. ● A syndicated newspaper column in 350 newspapers followed, and in 1963, Good Housekeeping magazine began running a monthly column, a feature that continued for over four decades. ● Best-selling books were next on her list of achievements with How to Get Whatever You Want Out of Life, What Every Woman Should Know About Men, and What Every Woman Ought to Know About Love and Marriage. ● In 1989, Joyce was faced with an issue of her own she had to deal with. Her husband of 40 years died of cancer and she was overcome with grief, even to the point of suicidal thoughts. The good that came out of her experience was the 1992 book Widowed, the story of the journey through her despair, and a guide for others coping with the same feelings of loss. ● Now 85 years old, Joyce still occasionally appears as a guest star, guest speaker, and product spokeswoman.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com LIBRARIES Happy National Library Week! Since 1958, we’ve observed this tribute established by the American Library Association. Here are some “book bits” for readers to chew on during this commemorative week. ● The word “library” has its origins in the Latin, the word liber meaning “book.” Humans have long recognized the need for an organized archive of history. The earliest libraries dating back to 2600 BC included papyrus scrolls and clay tablets written in cuneiform script. There was even a library classification system as early as 700 BC. ● As French settlers made their way to North America in the 1500s, they brought their personal book collections with them. The first non-personal library was established in Quebec City in 1635 at the Jesuit College. Three years later, clergyman John Harvard bequeathed his 400-volume library and half of his estate to the College at New Towne. The college was renamed Harvard College in his honor, and the library’s meager beginnings have grown into the largest academic library and third largest library overall in the United States, with close to 17 million volumes. ● In the 17th and 18th centuries, as the quantity of books increased with the advent of printing, there was a considerable increase in the interest of libraries. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin introduced the idea of a “subscription library,” one that shared books among members of a literary society. People could join by purchasing “stock” in the organization, and books were lent only to members. ● The Bodleian Library, the main research center for the University of Oxford, was established in 1602. By 1914, the total number of books in its collections had already passed the one million mark. ● Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie gave millions of dollars to fund more than 2,500 libraries in 47. U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the West Indies. Carnegie required that the local communities provide the land and a budget for operation. At the time of his death, Carnegie had already donated $351 million of his fortune – that’s $4.8 billion in today’s money.

serious complications, rare but possible. The actual complication rate is 0.2 percent to 0.6 percent, and most of the complications are minor. Furthermore, some feel strongly that it is a mutilating procedure. It is not on a par with female circumcision. I believe the parents of infant boys are the ones to make the decision.

The Debate Over Circumcision DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I recently got into a discussion about circumcision with my granddaughter, who recently gave birth to our great-granddaughter. She mentioned that if her next child were a boy, she would choose not to have him circumcised. She claims her husband made a study of the procedure and says it is mutilation, the same as is practiced on women in some countries. She states it is a religious ritual only. Is circumcision of males considered the same as mutilation of females? -- P.H. ANSWER: The debate on male circumcision is one that generates heat on both sides. It is not the same as female circumcision. That is truly a mutilating procedure. Male circumcision for cultural and religious purposes is one thing, and I'm not talking about the procedure in those circumstances. The benefits of male circumcision include a reduction in urinary-tract infection in infancy. It is said to reduce the transmission and acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases. It has been shown convincingly to decrease the transmission of the HIV virus, the virus that causes AIDS; the male acquisition of herpes virus; and the transmission of human papillomavirus, the cause of genital warts in men and women and cervical cancer in women. If readers want a reference for these claims, they can find it in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Oct. 5, 2011, page 1,479. The arguments against male circumcision are that it is unnecessary, doesn't markedly affect the health of men or women in developed countries and can lead to

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What does the gallbladder do? I'm going to have mine out. How does losing it affect life? -- J.M. ANSWER: The gallbladder is 3 to 4 inches long and holds about an ounce of bile. Bile is a product of the liver. The gallbladder lies beneath and closely adherent to the liver on the right side of the abdomen. When people eat a fatty meal, the gallbladder contracts to shoot a stream of bile into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fat. Without a gallbladder, bile drips into the small intestine directly from the liver. Fat digestion goes on almost as it did with a gallbladder. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: After 18 holes of golf, the tendons on the back of my heels hurt. What should I do? -- C.K. ANSWER: The likely cause is inflammation of the Achilles tendon, the tendon of the calf muscle. It attaches to the heel. Don't play golf for two weeks. Take Aleve if there's no reason for you not to use it. Put warm compresses on it for 15 minutes three times a day. Try heel inserts, obtainable in every drugstore. When you start playing again, ice the tendon for 10 to 15 minutes after you're through playing. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

LIBRARIES (continued) ● America’s first actual public library was the Boston Public Library which opened its doors in 1854. Today it’s the second largest library in the U.S., second only to the U.S. Library of Congress. Established in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation’s largest library. Originally housed in the Capitol building, its 30,000 volumes were completely destroyed in August, 1814 when British troops set fire to the Capitol during the War of 1812. Former president Thomas Jefferson immediately offered his personal library of 6,487 books (which he had spent 50 years collecting) for sale as a replacement, and Congress appropriated $23,950 for the purchase. ● Educator and Columbia University librarian Melvil Dewey copyrighted his decimal classification system for books in 1876, a system still used by most libraries. Each category, for example “Philosophy and Psychology,” is assigned a number, which is then divided into subcategories in increments of 10. ● There are close to 122,000 public and academic libraries in America, with about 8% of that number public libraries. Nearly 170 million Americans are registered borrowers, and they make about 1.6 billion trips to the library each year.

● If you're expecting your first child, heed this bit of advice: Assemble and otherwise try out complicated devices right away, while you have the time to learn how to work them. New dad Dan had a heck of a time trying to load bags into his brand-new Diaper Genie in the middle of the night.

● Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver; plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently with a damp, clean rag. Rinse well with a separate rag, and buff dry. Then just step back and let it shine. ● If you've ever oversalted soup, don't worry; here's a great tip to recover your meal. Just cut a single potato into several large slices. Add them to the soup, and they will soak up the extra salt. Remove before serving.

● Bloodstains on clothing can be really tough to treat. The best way to get a bloodstain out of clothing is by dousing the stain with hydrogen peroxide and washing immediately as usual.

● S.W. of South Carolina has this tip to share: "If you can't seem to keep track of your keys, make an extra set for those mornings when you are running late and can't spare the time to look for them. It has saved me a lot of stress, for sure."

VA Abruptly Axes Golden Age Games If you've signed up to participate in the Golden Age Games in Buffalo, N.Y., a heads up: The games have been suspended. The announcement on the Department of Veterans Affairs site says that "because we are committed to serving as good stewards of taxpayer dollars ... we evaluate each event, program and initiative for alignment with the department's core mission and priorities." To me, that means other events might be in danger as well. (It's rumored that more than $400,000 in civilian donations were made toward this one event. Where'd the money go?) For more info, call Interim Director Amy Will at 314-894-6549. Keep an eye on these other events if you're signed up to go:

In a Bad Mood? Skip Junk Food An interesting study from the University of Pennsylvania shows that eating "comfort food" to help a bad mood actually can worsen the mood that the food was supposed to alleviate. In a paper presented recently at the American Psychosomatic Society conference in Miami, researchers revealed that positive moods didn't change one way or the other before or after eating comfort or junk food, but negative moods were made worse. While the study wasn't about seniors, and they used women participants who were much younger, the way they conducted the study makes me believe it easily could apply to seniors. Instead of having subjects appear at the clinic once a week to report on what they'd eaten and how they felt, they were equipped with handheld

computers to input their moods and foods multiple times per day, especially just before and after eating. In a study last year in the Public Health Nutrition journal, researchers revealed that people who ate junk or comfort food were more likely to be depressed -- by 51 percent. The more junk food, the more depression. One of the biggest concerns about seniors and junk food (and fast food is included) is that many of us have smaller appetites than before. Maybe it's because food doesn't taste like it did, or maybe a medication we're on has reduced our appetite. Many seniors are at risk for malnutrition even if we're never hungry, because the types of food we eat don't support good nutrition. If we turn to junk food, we might not have enough appetite left to eat the foods we should. And if we eat to help a bad mood, we could be making it worse.

Q: While cleaning out my family barn in Kansas, I found an old crock that I am certain was used in my family for pickling. It has a large "10" on the side and is identified as being made by the Western Pottery company. Can you provide me with any other information I might find interesting? -- Steve, Kansas City, Kan. A: You are correct in that your crock was probably used for pickling, since the "10" indicates it is a 10-gallon vessel. The Western Pottery Manufacturing Company was located in Denver and produced stoneware crocks in various sizes. One as large as the one you have is difficult to find in good shape. I suspect it would retail for at least $100, probably more. Q: I bought a small music box shaped like a piano at a garage sale for $5. I have five granddaughters who will draw for this item, and since I want to be fair and even, I need to know its value. -- Vivian, Rio Rancho, N.M. A: I have seen similar music boxes sell in regional shops in the $10 to $50 range, depending on market, condition and age. Q: I am enclosing pictures of three Wedgwood plates that originally belonged to my grandmother. I am not sure of how old they are or how much they might be worth. Can you help me? -- Ron, Bradenton, Fla. A: Leslie V. Canavan is a recognized expert of Wedgwood and offers appraisals. There are literally thousands of pieces of Wedgwood, some valuable, some not. To determine values you must rely on the expertise of someone who is schooled in this field of collecting. Canavan, who is located in Chesterfield, a suburb of St. Louis, has advised Wedgwood enthusiasts for several decades. Contact her at Wedgwood@alexisantiques. com, and 414-647-7986. Check out her excellent website at www.alexisantiques.com. Q: I have an August 1943 edition of the magazine Better Homes and Gardens. How much do you think I can sell it for? -- Betty, Pueblo, Colo. A: Most copies of the Better Homes and Gardens from this period sell in the $10 to $35 range. Content and condition are both important.

Colorful 3-D Art Is Easy to Create Join your kids in creating art in 3-D with this easy and fun activity using household basics: corrugated cardboard from an empty box, scissors, paint and markers. That's it. Watch your kids enjoy hours of fun with this clever construction technique. Once they get the hang of assembling the two interlocking pieces they've designed themselves, they'll discover that a three-dimensional mobile will look just right hanging over their homework desk. It's so much fun, preschoolers will want you to join in and help them make an entire town or country scene of buildings, trees and flowers. They can set up the miniature play world, then add their trucks and other toys from their toy box. Or, if there's a birthday in the house, make a card to greet the recipient from all angles for a 3-D day. Let's get started by making a 3-D potted cactus in three easy steps. Use the same steps to make other objects. 1. On a piece of cardboard approximately 7 inches by 10 inches, draw a simple cactus shape in a clay pot. For extra fun in making the cactus design, have your child wear a mitten and place her hand on the cardboard. Trace around the mitten to create the cactus shape. Add the clay pot freehand. Cut out the drawing. (An adult may need to help with this.) 2. Trace the original potted cactus onto another piece of cardboard and cut out the second shape. Color or paint both sides of each cutout, making them look as similar as possible. 3. Mark the center point on the top of each cutout. On one piece, cut a slit starting at the top of the cactus and going down to that mark. On the other, cut a slit from the bottom of the flowerpot going up. The slits should be as wide as the thickness of the cardboard. 4. Slide one piece into the other. Extra idea: To hang a 3-D object, poke a hole at the top and string fishing line or lightweight wire through the hole. Hang from a hook in the ceiling or from a windowsill.
