The older child can make a toy for his younger brother or sister easier than he can buy one. And he’ll have more fun doing it. Start by saving cans — fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones and short ones. File off any sharp edges on the Inside and outside, and clean off all the labels and glue holding them on. Then the fun part starts. Let the children cover the cans with .***. ».luNCjt,i .uvuirti. utiUi M. , colorful stick-on paper or give each can a dif ferent colored coat of metal sticking paint. Keep the colors bright and gay and be sure the paint Is lead-free. A young child will one on top of the after to : make a tall tower. Or ] perhaps he’ll fit one side the other to make a tall tower. Or one may beOome v % the silo on a make- j believe farm or a mixing bowl for a make believe cake. These are the kinds of toys that can help stir a child’s imagination. Give the older chil dren an idea or two on what they can turn out from scrap. Then turn them loose. They’ll probably think of a hundred and one other items they can make and have fun doing It. Don’t look down your nose at their final crea tion, Mrs. Haywood says. The creator has been expressing his own initiative and resource fulness. And certainly this is one thing to encourage in children. Both the older and younger children in your family can gain from this recycling venture. So encourage your children to stretch their gift dol lars by making toys from household castoffs. |ppp In Germany, fir trees were once believed to be able to cure gout.
