Babies Need To Learn!

By: Barry Meat

Saunter in to any most stores and you will spot walls and walls of toys that are loud -- toys that need batteries, or toys that resemble your son or daughter's favorite movie character.

What about those of us who wish to bring up our children to use a bit of imagination and curiosity? I will let you know what we do. We choose to fill our houses with a few of these old-fashioned bits and pieces.

Felt Boards:
Kids love to use felt to make up stories. You will need a felt board to begin with obviously. It is fairly easy to make your own board using a|from a} sheet of felt or you can buy a felt board.

After having got your board, let the excitement commence.

Visit a craft or fabric store and buy a few sheets of felt in various colors. Then, cut out different shapes in all colors and sizes. (You will be surprised at how quickly kids will make an alien, ship, house, or person out of nothing more a number of circles, rectangles, and triangles.

Books:
No house can have an adequate amount of books. Be sure your house has a portrayal of great fiction books and non-fiction books. A mixture of both is incredibly significant. Most homes have a shortage of non-fiction books, so fill your home with Science, History and Art books. Children ought to learn to read and appreciate non-fiction books so they can do well in research when they get to higher levels in their education.

Building blocks and Lego:
Children can mess about for hours construction towers, bridges, cities, plus much more with the type of toys that inspire creativity, patience, and small motor skills. When their work of art is finished, have the child pretend to be a giant and crash through the blocks - or grab two or three small cars and drive around the new city which they have created! Remember to name the city and get your child tell you all about it.

Art and supplies:
Supply your youngster with some crayons, scissors, junk mail, and glue. They will be entertained for several hours if they are given a little encouragement. But do keep a close eye on them if you do not want your youngster to get a self-induced haircut or attach the dog to their artwork!

Puppets:
It is east to make a couple of puppets out of socks, paper bags, felt, cloth, and sticks. Assist them to make a stage and tell stories. Get out the video camera and catch your son or daughter's brilliance!

Musical Instruments:
Whether your musical instruments are home-created using a comb and wax paper or bought from shop, making music is an excellent way to spend the day. Teach your child that music can be produced from anything, from an old cereal box, to banging two pieces of wood together. Embark upon a walk with them and just hear the sounds of nature.

Dressing-up Clothes:
Get out your old prom dresses, big hats, shirts and ties, old Halloween costumes (or buy extra pieces after Halloween for year-round fun!). Bring out that box of costumes and watch some shows with your kids as the stars. Keep a camera handy to capture the fun. Also, keep an eye on the pets. Cats do not always appreciate wearing a sombrero. Trust me, I have the scars to prove it!

Dolls-houses:
There is certainly nothing more enjoyable than watching your son or daughter make up stories as the family members move around in a dolls house. Plus, if it is a wooden dolls house, there is the additional benefit of designing it with some wallpaper scraps and carpet remnants! That dolls house could be a family heirloom if enough love is put into it.

Around the Kitchen:
Young children love to play Kitchen, whether it is pretending mixing air, or getting to play with food. Give your child a good time by giving them safe kitchen utensils to play with in the sink. Mixing, pouring, and scooping bubbles and water entertains my children long enough for there hands to look pruny. Or for a fun alternative, give them puffed rice cereal and some bowls and utensils on the kitchen floor to play with. Just plan to vacuum afterwards as there'll be quite a mess!
