Different Types of Bracelets
Bracelets are a great, versatile fashion accessory that can range from elegant and classic to contemporary and chic. There are several types of bracelets, and knowing a bit about these can make it easier to shop for an addition to your jewelry wardrobe. When looking for a bracelet, consider style and comfort. A chunky loose bracelet may not be appropriate if you work with your hands; a delicate one may be a poor choice for a busy mom with young children.
Art Activities for Toddlers
Toddlers enjoy art activities that involve the sense of touch. Allowing a toddler to put his hands in paint and arts and crafts material is more enjoyable to him than giving him a paintbrush and separating him from the tactile experience. Art that allows the toddler to feel things with his hands is what is important to him, according to Dr. Karen DeBord, a child development specialist. Spread out a tarp or old sheet on the floor underneath a table. Cover the table with a cloth and give the child a smock if he will wear it. Then, let the toddler dig into the art materials and get messy.
3 Ways to Talk to Kids About Fire Safety
Holidays and celebrations often include good fires, including birthday candles, fireworks, campfires and fireplaces. Enjoyment of these good fires, combined with a kid’s natural curiosity about fire, can set up a deadly scenario, especially when a child finds matches or lighters. Children ages 5 and under make up 63 percent of fatal fire deaths, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Most of those deaths are caused by a child playing with found lighters and matches. The United States Fire Administration (USFA) encourages parents to start fire safety education early. Children in preschool and kindergarten are the age group that engages in dangerous fire play, and are often seriously injured or killed by the fires, according to the NFPA.

Organization Tips for a Child’s Bedroom
A child’s bedroom is a place to slumber, to play, to create and to enjoy quiet time. Organize a child’s bedroom based on the child’s current needs and interests. Organizational furniture and storage units should not be selected based on functionality. Before organizing the child’s bedroom, remove all items. Clean windows and wash curtains. Repaint the walls to give the room a fresh start. Donate or give away any old items which the child no longer needs or uses.
