When those choppers are coming in, the first thing a baby wants to do is put something in their mouth. One good thing to give a toddler to gnaw on is a frozen waffle. The cool feeling will ease some of the irritation. As with any other time, watch the child closely.<p> Another good thing to do is to put teething rings in the refrigerator or the freezer, depending on what your baby likes. Starting with it in the refrigerator is recommended. <h2><a name="diaper">Diaper Rash</a></h2> <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="pictures">Taking Pictures</a></h2> While parents of young children are busy people, the time that your child is young will go by fast. Take a great deal of pictures of your young one and they will thank you for it later. While conventional cameras and developing can be a hassle, digital media allows you to take the picture when the oppurtunity arises and upload them to your computer when you have time. There are web services that can send you prints, or you can print them out yourself.<p> If you have the time and the initiative, you can even take formal photos yourself to save money. Hang something up for a backdrop, and use the child's toys for props! You will be surprised how natural and professional they will look. <h2><a name="church">Quiet in Church</a></h2> <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="snack">On-the-go Snacks</a></h2> When you are on the go, in the car, or running errands, your little one may want something to snack on. In my opinion, the BEST one is Cheerios. Also, things like baby carrots, celery pieces, and string cheese are good ideas. <h2><a name="confident">Confident Kids</a></h2> <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="tv">Productive TV</a></h2> <h2><a name="macaroni">Fun With Macaroni</a></h2> Almost every child has an inner artist! One of my favorite thing to do with kids is make macaroni pictures or jewelry.<p> For art or pictures, you will need construction paper, some type of glue, and paint to color the macaroni if you feel like cleaning up the mess. If you wish, you can draw a picture for the child first, or just let them make the picture with the macaroni and spaghetti.<p> There are different shapes of pasta, and this can be useful for the macaroni jewelry. The more shapes, the more interesting the jewelry! You can use yarn for strength or string for looks. <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="cardboard">Cardboard Furniture</a></h2> Save your paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, and wrapping paper rolls for adventures in cardboard furniture. Also, save the cardboard from the back of notepads and old boxes. The rolls can be the legs and structure for your furniture, while the flat pieces can be the top, bottom and sides. This works best when kept small, and when the items placed on the furniture are light. Before piecing your furniture together, you can cover your cardboard in wrapping paper or extra cloth. Enjoy. <h2><a name="hunt">Treasure/Scavenger Hunt</a></h2> Looking for a fun activity or a way to spend time with your kids? Gather up a list of items to hide, and hints for each one and write them down while your child is at school or gone for the day. When they get home, begin your treasure hunt!<p> Want to make a walk more interesting? Go on a nature scavenger hunt. Before you leave, make a list of things to find. Example list: 3 inch blade of grass, a stick longer than your longest finger, three leaf clover, pine cone, 5 inch leaf, a pebble smaller than a dime, a pebble bigger than a quarter, something that is 2 inches long(no live animals). <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="abc">Alphabet Hunt</a></h2> Is your kid learning to read? Learning to recognize letters? Give them some old magazines, newspapers, etc, a pair of safety scissors, and have them cut out a word that begins with every letter of the alphabet. <h2><a name="sew">Aprons/Sewing for Kids</a></h2> If you are up for a supervised activity, making aprons is a wonderful activity. Time is your only limit. Some good ideas for designs on the front is the letters in their name, handprints with fabric paint, or trace their silhouette on fabric and use the top part. Your imagination is the limit. <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="color">Coloring Pages</a></h2> <li> <a href="http://coloringbookfun.com/"> coloringbookfun.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.learningplanet.com/parents/alphabet/"> learningplanet.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.dltk-kids.com/coloring.htm"> dltk-kids.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.coloring-page.net/"> coloring-page.net</a> <h2><a name="math">Help With Math</a></h2> <li> <a href="http://www.teachrkids.com/"> teachrkids.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.coolmath4kids.com/"> coolmath4kids.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.edu4kids.com/"> edu4kids.com</a> <h3><a href="http://www.geocities.com/helpmykidindexb.html#top">Back to Top of Page</a></h3> <h2><a name="science">Help With Science</a></h2> <li> <a href="http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide/"> ipl.org/div/kidspace/projectguide</a> <li> <a href="http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/"> sciencemadesimple.com</a> <li> <a href="http://www.ed.gov/pubs/parents/Science/index.html"> ed.gov/pubs/parents/Science</a> </body>
