Thanks for posting great recipes, especially these Sesame Street Silly Snacks. I look forward to more recipes!

Grandparents and grandkids-Between Generations

Our children are 38 and 40 and still love to hear 90 year old GGS',great grams,stories.Holidays are the perfect time to share your successes and failures with your grandchildren.GG talks about the depression and all the similarities of today. Most of all, she talks about the way they came through it and not to be scared. Lillian Carson,author of THE ESSENTIAL GRANDPARENT says,"sharing family history can have the added benefit of motivating youngsters toward success,once they hear the struggles their ancestors have overcome.Grandparents can tell stories that connect the grandchildren to their history and culture and inform them that they belong to something greater than themselves-they belong to something that has roots" This Thanksgiving you may have the opportunity to:share your stories,show photos from earlier years,teach culture in a tangible way-with language lessons or Old World recipes,include grandchildren in preparations,talk about love and life. You are part of their legacy-dont hold back.

Sesame Street Silly Snacks

The name of the book is 'COOKING WITH KIDS' and it stars Elmo, Oscar,and Big Bird. Grammie likes cooking with Mae,6, and Colton,4, when they come to visit. Here are some excerpts from the book to get you started.
"For children,seeing a muffin rise in the oven or fruit juice turn into a frozen pop is not only educational and entertaining, it's magical. Most kids love to cook, and they love to eat what they helped to make even more [ yes, including veggies]
Safey First--make sure that each child has a space of his or her own to work. It should be away from hot stoves and pans, as well as knives and other sharp objects.Never leave a child unsupervised in the kitchen. Make sure kids understand safety rules and that they know only a grown up should use the stove, electric equipment or sharp knives...make sure all the helpers wash their hands before beginning to cook. Start with a clean kitchen and keep counters clean from clutter.Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly..Work slowly on one thing at a time.And it makes a mess but the memories you make will last a lifetime." ENJOY

collectible wood toys made in vermont

wee-organics wood toys made in Vermont are collectibles. They are gathered over the years and become family heirlooms;handed down from one generation to another.They do not get thrown away,therefore, they actually reduce the risks to the environment. Plastic toys, some made with nasty chemical, are normally discarded. Statistics have proven that certain plastics take 20-25 years to dissolve and as they dissolve they are leaching toxic chemicals into our environment.
visit www.wee-organics.com and see wood toys that are environmentally friendly.

simple turkey day crafts

How do we keep the grand kids busy if they visit during the Thanksgiving holiday? Our children, Jeff 38 and Kim 40, like to stay home with their kids on Christmas. They prefer seeing the grand folks, us, around Thanksgiving. They like to go out at night,as they have the built in baby sitters; so we need to keep the kids busy. We found a cute craft you may like called "simple turkey day crafts" you can find at parents.com. Just wanted to pass this along to help you.

until it's bedtime.

Wee-organics is busy making wood toys with today being the most historic election day in America.

Sharen and i ran out to vote and the lines were wonderful. Seeing so many people exercising their rights was a confirmation. No matter who wins today, this is America ... no other country like us in the world.

Keep the faith.

Safe wood toys made in America for Halloween

Grammie and Grampy gave away some of our wood toys made in Vermont for Halloween. These toys meet or exceed government safety standards.

Grandparents especially loved them..."wow, no lead, no nasty chemicals ... we love them"..."that's what I am giving my kids."

Tractors and cars we call WEELEES, teething rings we call WEE-GUMMIES and puzzles we call WEE-ZZLES, all were a big hit.

WEE-ORGANICS continues to make heirloom wood toys for our kids and yours.
