I Need a Holiday Craft That Will Interest 3Rd Grade BOYS

Hi everyone, I've tried looking for inexpensive holiday craft ideas online that will INTEREST the boys in my daughter's 3rd grade class, but I haven't found "it". So... can you help me out by sharing an idea? (I teach Girl Scouts/Brownies and the girls are always SO happy to do a craft, but I think the boys don't seem to be as interested once they hit this grade. My 8 yr. old son does, but I've asked his friends if they would like to make a craft while they are at my house and the answer is always NO! (Even if I think the...

What to Do with the Piles and Piles of School Artwork?!

I'm desperately trying to get a handle on the chaos in my house that has gotten out of hand since my fourth baby was born in September. I am able to organize most things pretty efficiently, but the one thing I have never been able to figure out how to deal with is the artwork and school papers that come home every day. Now I have 2 kids in preschool, so they are coming home with completed cut and paste exercises, paper bag hand puppets, painted masterpieces, and a ton of projects that relate to the current season or theme of the week. ...

Extremely Timid Child in New situations~Worried About School

I am seeking feedback about my daughter who is now just over 4 years. She is extremely shy in new situations and/or environments with a lot of people she doesn't know. She is also very much a mommy's girl, to the point that she is glued to me much of the time even at home. I don't know if this has to do with being an only child or not. However, new situations such as attempts at dance class and swim lessons have resulted in full meltdowns on her part due to the fact that she must face a stranger for a teacher and unknown children. She...

Daughter Keeps Saying That She's Scared...

My 2 yr. old daughter keeps telling us that she is scared of things. Sometimes, it seems like she is just startled by something, like when one of our cats runs around, but other times it is something bizarre. Last night, as we were reading a new book, there was a tiny picture of a walrus, and she kept saying that she was scared of the walrus. Huh? She has seen pictures of walruses before, and it never freaked her out. She is also scared of puppets, and things on her hands. Since birth, she has never liked her hands covered, so that one...

Gift Idesa for a Friend with a Special Needs Child

I have a friend who is mother to a beautiful little girl who has quite a lot of mental and physcal issues (MS for one, brain damage at birth, etc.). She is in a wheelchair and requires constant care. She will be turning 4 this year on her birthday and every year I am at a complete loss as to what to get her for her birthday. I was hoping some moms out there could give me some ideas. She of course does not play with toys as she is confined to a wheel chair. In the past I have bought clothes but I would love to give her something more...
