Paste Jewelry
What you need:
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup salt warm water
What you do:
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Add warm water gradually until the mixture forms a dough. Before working with the dough, the stickiness. The children can shape the dough into different shaped beads. A hole can be pierced in each bead with a toothpick. Dry the beads on a screen.
Make a Megaphone
A clean, empty bleach container with the bottom cut off looks exactly like a megaphone. The children can practice singing or talking to the “crowd.”
Flavored Milk
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/2 banana, mashed, or
1/2 cup orange juice, or
1/4 cup crushed
strawberries
Help the child mix the milk with one of the ingredients, and then shake until blended. This is a tasty, nutritious drink.
Broiler Sandwiches
For something different, broil or bake open-faced sandwiches. The children can help put them together.
Some ideas:
• Peanut butter and honey
• Cold cuts, cheese, and tomato
• Cheese, olive, and crisp bacon
• Cheese in cookie cutter shapes
The children can arrange the ingredients on the bread. You do the next part. Bake or broil the sandwiches in the oven. Cool before serving. Encourage children to clean up work area and table after eating. They learn important self-help skills and cooperation from these kinds of activities.
Television Can Be More Fun
activities for television programs that the children watch. Ask them: “What would you do if you were in that television program?” Some children may want to pretend that they are on television when acting out a story.
Play Restaurant
Make your own props or visit a restaurant or fast food store and ask for cups,empty boxes, hats, bags, menus, and other items. Set these up so the children can pretend to be customers or restaurant workers.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out–The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness,heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

If you don’t believe dogs build friendships you’re wrong! Sheba visits us everyday from next door. As I’ve mentioned before she comes every morning with the school bus and throughout the day she plays at the house. If we are outside it’s within minutes she comes running through the field and I kid you not… she’s smiling. I came across some pictures of when we first me Sheba, she’s done a lot of growing. Her and our Chelci have grown up together here and you can bet they are bestfriends!
My fiance came home yesterday to find Sheba in our house. She hasn’t really been inside the house since she was a puppy so when she wanted to come in I couldn’t imagine telling her no and shutting the door in her face! However my fiance wasn’t amused. His comment was “we are supposed to have people visit not dogs” lol he loves Sheba even if he acts like he doesn’t.
