Do you know what toys are best
for your child at his present age?
Do you know what toys he Graves
naturally? Do you know what play
materials you ought to provide for
your child? Have you ever made
any toys with him? Such questions
as these will be considered at a
meeting of the Houston Parent
Teacher Association, December II,
at 1880, in connection with an eX-
hibit of toys planned to aid parents
in their Christmas buying. Parents
and children are urged to bring any
home made and unusual toys to the
meeting. The discussion will cover
the subject of appropriate toys from
birth to over ten years.
