Did You Know?

Food Allergies in Children

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, they estimate that up to 2 million, or 8% of children in the United States are effected by food allergies.

Which ones are they?

▪ Cow's Milk (or cow's milk protein)
▪ Eggs
▪ Fish and Shellfish
▪ Peanuts and Tree Nuts
▪ Soy
▪ Wheat


How can I tell if my child might have food allergies?

What signs can I look for?

▪ Dripping Nose
▪ Itchy Eyes
▪ Rashes and Hives
▪ Nausea
▪ Diarrhea
▪ Labored Breathing
▪ Anaphylactic Shock

Any one of these symptoms can be related to other issues and not allergies, so with anything consult your child's doctor and let them do a formal diagnoses of your child.

Thanksgiving Wreath

Happy Thanksgiving


Cardboard, cut into a 12" circle
Construction Paper: Red, Brown, Orange, Yellow & Green
Glue
Ribbon

Cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a 12" circle.

Fold each construction paper in half and then fold it in half again.

Place your child's hand in the corner of the folded construction paper and trace their hand with a pencil.

Keeping the paper folded, cut the hand print out. Do this for the remaining colors of construction paper.

Starting at the top of the ring, glue the first hand print on the ring putting glue only on the palm of the print, leaving the fingers free.

Changing the color of the hand print as you go, glue the next hand print clockwise from the first hand print. This direction will allow the fingers to stay on top instead of being covered.

Glue or staple a ribbon in place on the back of the wreath. This will allow the wreath to hang from a door or window.

You can have your child add a "Happy Thanksgiving" sign to the wreath or Thanksgiving stickers or any other decoration to spice up the wreath.

This project is easy and you'll be able to find these items already in your house.

Indoor Activities

Imaginative Play

The combination of wet weather and children inside for days at at a time usually creates a lot of pent up energy.

A creative mind and a house full of items can turn an afternoon into an expressive, fun-filled time.

A kitchen ladle, a broom stick, cordless telephone or remote control, bed sheets hung over a rope and some of mom or dads fancy clothes and you have got the workings of a KARAOKE NIGHT CLUB.

Just add some fun music and you are off to a great start.

You might have the next American Idol in the making!

A small tent becomes a BIG ADVENTURE!

Add blankets, pillows, books, a tackle box filled with juice boxes, gold fish and apple slices and your little adventurer is set to go. This is the perfect place to nap too! Don't have a tent? Use blankets draped over two twin beds or the dining room table also makes a great tent-like structure.



How about a MAGIC SHOW?

A cool hat, cards, magic wand, a colorful scarf, a bow tie, a small stool and a table cloth or towel draped over it and you have the makings of the perfect magic show.

Let your little magician entertain you!



A big stack of cards, any cards, makes the perfect time to practice eye hand coordination and build the perfect HOUSE OF CARDS.

You may have to give your little one some help on this one, but I am sure it will only make it even more fun for your child. No cards? Use blocks.
