That probably happens because the box has so many possibilities Haun said and the child can bring so many ideas to it Of course there are exceptions to this multiple-us- e philosophy “1 wouldn’t live in a home that didn’t have a puzzle and there’s certainly only one way to put it together” Haun said The same goes for books though books are educational as can be Toys should also be appropriate for a child’s age and abilities A for example isn’t ready for a fraction pizza puzzle Sartain says she learned about appropriateness herself a couple of Christmases ago when her received a Teddy Rux-pi- n talking bear The instructions specified “Do Not Drop” she said “but when you’re 3 years old you’re going to drop your toys” Her child did just that and the bear broke after a couple Join Crossroads Travel in San Diego December 28 1990 thru December 30 1990 $1Q00 vItlSron (based To use blush for cheek color rub a cotton swab or a small ball of fiberfill into a blush cake Gently blow excess rouge from the ball and lightly rub color on the fabric Repeat if necessary hands and knees Avoid electrical I toys and balloons for very small children Be sure that any remov- able part is at least V inches in diameter and 2V inches long — the government standard set for! avoiding choking hazard Make' sure toy chests have good lid sup- ports that won’t slam down For a copy of the poster send a' stamped envelope!: to Play It Safe PO Box 3717 Washington DC 20007 1 -- -- -- ed Hair Various yarns in interesting textures and shades are ideal for doll hair Blend two textures or shades of yam for a special effect but be sure to keep yam in scale with the doll’s sizes Natural fibers such as cotton yams linen twine untwisted rope and unspun wool can be used as hair for character dolls For small dolls use crewel yam embroidery floss or even sewing thread To make curls wrap acrylic yarn tightly around metal knitting needles Bake in a oven for five to 10 minutes then let the yam cool and unwind the curls from the needle Reprinted with permission from Christmas Ideas 350-degr- ee - 0 NOTICE Due to shipping problems the following items in the BEST 3 Day Thanksgiving Sale newspaper insert will not be available: 450006 Sunbeam Mixer p 4 Substitute available 563730 Weslo Aerostep 600 p 8 Substitute available 639842 Talking TMNT II p 11 No rain checks Due to shipping problems the following items will arrive late: 541672 Evenflo Stroller p 10 Rain check or substitute available 612936 Ornament Set p 12 Ornament Set p 12 612944 No rain checks We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our valued customers rm S9 ' © 0 l j( ii ® (? il )l1i m k’L ii TONIGHT AT 6:30 PM BEST rncmim per person quad occupancy) $17900 per person (based on double occupancy) Includes: Holiday bowl ticket Two (2) nights accommodations in a two room suite (Embassy Daily cooked to order breakfast Nightly social gathering at hotel Across from Seaport Village DEPOSIT REQUIRED: Evening 8:00' QO O News Wheel of Fortune B NIC Thanksgiving Fest PSN Tennis TBS Movie— “Christmas Mine Miracle" TMC Movie— "Gigi" WGN News WSC Personal Finance 11:00 © Coal Cinderrabbit " -8- :20 © Who's the Boss?
