Fall is a great time to go outdoors and LOOK.  Teach your children to notice things- patterns on the ground, the sun shining through the leaves, the many shades of leaves, various bark trees.  A nature walk could include taking a book along to identify birds, trees, leaves, and bugs.

Best medication for TEETHING TODDLERS crushed ice!  Give child spoon and little dish of ice.  Really soothes their gums.

It’s a WRAP:  If you’re giving a large gift such as a comforter- try wrapping it in a paper tablecloth!  (Rose DiCicco)
