ART ACTIVITY: Turkey Craft

You will need:
Brown construction paper

Carefully trace your child´s hand on the brown construction paper. Make sure their fingers are spread apart. Cut out.

Use as place cards for Thanksgiving dinner, as a Thanksgiving Day card for grandparents or just as holiday fun craft.

DAILY RECIPE: Corn Flakes Fish

2 cups corn flakes

two cloves garlic
salt

Grease a baking pan with butter. Place fish filets and sprinkle with salt. Finely chop garlic and place evenly among fish. Add a teaspoon of butter on each filet. Lightly crush corn flakes and pour on top of fish. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes at 350°F. Serve with white rice or buttered pasta.

TIP OF THE DAY

If your baby likes to take everything out of your purse, which aside from being dangerous is sometimes embarassing, try this: Drop in various items in an old purse. For example, a small tupperware, a brochure, a scarf, old pictures, a glove, the lid of a jar. Just make sure nothing represents a choking hazard. When your child starts reaching for your purse, hand him/her the "play purse" and let them enjoy the freedom of taking everything out!
