Your Child, Ages 0-6

Dear Parents,

Kids will enjoy learning the true meaning of Hanukkah, while taking part in gift giving and receiving. Find some suggestions for gifts to give your kids on the eight days of Hanukkah, as well as instructions for making homemade Hanukkah presents.

It's so much fun to decorate for Christmas! Have some laughs while you make popcorn strings, Christmas cards, and gingerbread houses with your child. You can even make a box to store the ornaments that are special to you and your family.

Our experts have suggestions for teaching your young child about colors and numbers. Plus, try some fun related activities: sandy rainbows and food count.
