COMFORTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
FOR CHILDREN AT HOME

| whose hands are too weak yet to hold
even a toy, requires only a pair OF scis-
sors, some sheets Of white paper and a
box of colored crayons. Fold the paper
and cut out birds in pairs-big birds,
little birds, all kinds. Then mix them
up in box and give them to the child.
1t will take long time to find the mates
and lay them in pairs across the bed.
The next day let the child classify
and choose the right colors for each,
then give her, IL the player is a little
girl, the crayons and let her begin to
color the birds. At first she probably
can work only a few minutes at a
time. so it will take several days to
color them all. Then she can place
them to suit her fancy. Perhaps an
eagle will perch on a high cliff on the
comforter, a swan will swim on the
sheet, partridges will creep in and out
among the little hills. and skylarks
will go flying up in the air
The blanket can be a sandy desert,
where an old ostrich lives, and the
pillows can be snowy peaks in the far
north, where the wild geese are going.
To make nests for the birds cut
out circles of paper of various sizes
and let the child draw eggs in them.
AS she grows stronger she can study
bird books to learn how many eggs the
different birds lay and how to color
them. When she is well again she will
not forget the paper birds, but will
watch the real birds and study them
with new interest.

a scrap of meat. He put it on log
and stepped back few feet without

of meat and flew up in tree with it
There he ate it without so much as
saying thank you. Then he looked at

Farmer Browns Boy chuckled. You
