tice balancing, walking, or running

Most children delight in modelling.
Haven't you seen children beg for a
piece of pie dough or bread dough?
A homemade modelling medium that
is very nice may be made by mixing
one cup of cornstarch, one cup of
salt, one and one-half cups water,
and heating for few minutes, then
kneaded by hand into a consistency
firm enough for modelling.
Play Needs Differ
Let us consider some toys and
play equipment for different ages.
For the little. baby cellu1oid or bone
rings, the traditional rattle, bright
colored balls, both smooth and
woody, and washable stuffed animals
or dolls are all acceptable.
When the baby grows a little older
and is learning to walk or crawl he
will still like the balls-now he can
roll them and go after them. He will
like blocks, large beads or spools
strung on a string, rag and oilcIoth
books, cuddly dolls and animals.
These are all playthings but every
mother knows that the pans from the
kitchen cupboard, buttons from the
sewing machine drawer, bits of
bright colored cloth from the scrap
bag and many other everyday house.
hold things are just as truly play
things as those purchased for that
purpose. The youngster just learn
ing to walk and balance himself
properly should have large blocks
or boxes that can be pushed or
tugged about and substantial chairs
by which to pull himself up.

Toys for Little Children

activity of a little baby? He has an
"all-overish' way of moving. A
baby doesn't reach out with one hand
for his food. He lurches about
maybe in the direction of the food
and maybe not. He soon learns how
ever, to reach definitely in the right
direction and by the time he is a
year or Is months old he can walk
and perform many acts of which he
was utterly incapable few short
months before. Our problem is to
give him toys that will aid him in
gaining and perfecting this control.
Did you ever notice, too, that a
little youngster alternates periods of
activity and high intensity with
periods of relative inaction? On a
playground one day Betty, aged 3
years, climbed up the six steps to the
top of the slide, paused moment at
the top, then slid down.
This action was repeated 81 times
then she walked over to the sand
pile and was happy for time just
watching what was going on there.
A strong little chair and an equally
sturdy table, the right height to work
on, is a most worthwhile investment.
These need not be expensive. If one
has any ability with tools, orange
crates or other odds and ends of ma
terial may be utilized in making very
satisfactory pieces.
Like to Make Things
Children like to make things, 80
let us consider some possibilities
along this line. A sand box, either
indoors or out, offers endless posi-
bilities. Spoons, pals, (sirup pails)
small pans and sleeves are useful ad-
ditions to the sand box.
Large sheets of paper and enlarged
art crayons are always liked. The
large crayons are especially good for
small children because they do not
break easily.
Inexpensive water colors may be
used if care is taken to teach the
child how to use them. There are
several types of powder paint avail
able at small cost. A common paint
brush one inch wide is excellent fol

AS SOON as Thanksgiving is over
whole toy departments spring up as
if by magic. When one goes into his
favorite store it is not unusual to
find the space where rugs are ordi-
narily displayed given over entirely
to dolls, games, kiddie cars, tricycles
and other toys dear to the heart of
child-and to most grown ups.
Why is this special emphasis given
at Christmas time only? Children
seem to play with toys even in Au-
gust-and April.
Perhaps it is because Christmas,
above all other holidays, rs the
child's own. At this season of the
year even the most disillusioned
grownup often finds himself recap
turing little of his childhood ca
pacity for wonder and surprise.
Selecting toys for children is Just
about the pleasantest task one can
think of. There are, however, many
adults who, having the child's best
interests at heart, feel helpless when
trying to select toys.
Haven't children always played
with toys-and with one about as
happily as with another?" someone
asks. If you really think that lust
any toy will do, you have forgotten
your childhood. Were you ever so
unfortunate as one little 7-year-old
girl who wanted above all. else a
baby doll-a particular kind of baby
doll-one with cuddly body and a
face that could be washed?
Christmas morning, in all ex-
pectancy, she rushed down to the
candle-Gghted tree and found-not
a doll-but beautiful mature kit. !"
There were nets for collecting but
terflies, boxes in which to keep in
sects, and labels for flowers. Her
father had always longed for such
an outfit when he was a boy, 50 he
bought one for his daughter. The
little girl, however, was not yet at
the stage where this type of collect
ing appealed to her and so both she
and her father were disappointed.
Toys for Active and Quiet Play
Toys should be selected to fill Z
ehild's needs-and the first need i
activity. Did you ever notice ths

pensively and if you once see small

painting you will not doubt the value
of this piece of equipment.

An Editorial
Winter Reading

AUTUMN AND WINTER are the
seasons for books. Most of us have
q few books we have known and
turned to for long time. Some of
them we may not have read recently
but, as with an old friend, we can
renew and pick up the acquaintance
ship even though many years have
interviewed.
Books are tools, ornaments and
friends and all three varieties should
be found in every home Children,
especially, should learn TO know
books in these groups.
AS tools, the dictionary or ency-
elopedia and an atlas or globe should
be always in evidence. If in the
newspaper or over the radio comes
mention of Tibet, for instance, and
the father can get the atlas or a
globe and point it out, Tibet becomes
real place in relation to China and
Russia and even the United States.
Then if someone looks Tibet up in
the encyclopedia he will find -four
pages" of interesting material. A
geography lesson right there in the
family. And interesting, too!
Books can do much for anyone.
They provide a profitable way to
spend time, for relaxation or infor-
nation. Well chosen books like well
chosen friends can inspire and in
form and comfort.
Books can take us into the past.
They can take us to places we can
never go. They can give us mas
terry of good English. A well read
person is an educated person.
Children especially need direction
in their reading habits, just as they
need direction in their eating habits
Many parents feel that they would
like help in directing their children's
reading in order to combat the '1ittle
books and the funny books"-some
not so bad, but many downright
harmful.
Montana is not completely served
with county libraries but there are
26 counties in which there are Ii
braries with facilities to serve tn,
most isolated sections and readers.
Some counties not having a county
library serve rural folks from a Ii
brary In the town or city. This i
true in Billings in Yellowstone coun
ty and in Helena in Lewis and Clarl
county. If you happen to live wher
there is neither county library no
friendly city library, you may ge
books by writing to the Montan
State Library extension commission
at Missoula. Miss Ellen Torgrimsor
the librarian, will be most graciou
and helpful.
Make a plan for some family read
ing during the winter months It CA
be most worthwhile family project
