Modern Toys and Your Child

The toys are probably the most important things in a child’s world. These help your children grow and develop. The toys are actually a child’s best friend, so you must be very careful when choosing a toy for a child. It must necessarily appeal to the child, be according to his/her preoccupations, according to his/her age, and last but not least, to be suitable for the age of the child. So, you can get action figures toys for boys, Barbie toys for girls, doll houses, or doll makers, or even board games for older kids.

When choosing a toy it is highly important that the toy is safe for the child. Some toys can injure the child, especially if the child is small. The injury may be accidental, but you must be aware of this, so you’d better avoid buying such toys. For instance, a baby cannot be given action figures. As you probably know, babies tend to get stuff in their mouth and can accidentally swallow them, so you’d better get them something large, like a squeaking toy, rubber balls etc. Make sure that these toys don’t contain parts that can be swallowed. As the child gets older, you can extend the types of toys that you give him/her to play with. Starting from the age of 3, little girls can be given Barbie dolls, but still it is too early for doll houses.

Cats And Toys - Tips For A Safe Playtime

If you live with a cat, or you’re thinking of adopting one, you are probably aware that cats are very lively. They love to play, need to be stimulated and need their special time with you, their human.

It’s not always easy to keep a cat entertained. Often they sit there, watching you try to get them involved. Or they just turn their back and ignore you. This can be taxing. Other times, they make it very clear that it is playtime, and it’s up to you to come up with something interesting.

This is where toys come in. However, with so many different toys available on the market, it can be difficult to choose what to go for. And, perhaps most importantly, it is not always easy to tell whether or not a specific toy is safe.

One toy that will appeal to almost every feline is a toy mouse. Especially a catnip one. Toy mice are cheap and make for hours of fun. All you have to do is hand it to your cat and watch them play, or skip it around the room and have your cat chase it.

Do make sure the toy mouse does not have bells and/or feathers attached to it (yes, I have seen them). Your feline might try to eat the small bells or get a nail stuck in it. He/she might also try to eat the feather, which likely won’t do much good.

Another type of toy, which is far more interactive, is anything soft on a piece of (preferably elastic) string. This means you can drag the toy around the room, flick it back and forth and have all sorts of fun games with your furry friend. And if your cat gets tired of the toy itself, you can always use it the other way around and have them chase the string instead. I have yet to meet a cat who can resist a piece of string.

It’s important to supervise your cat at playtime. This, of course, is easy when you are spending time together, but it’s also easy to forget the toy is lying around. It’s best to tidy it away after playtime, to avoid your feline getting tangled up or, again, trying to eat any bells and other small parts.

For that matter, it is best to choose a toy that doesn’t have any small parts that can easily come off. It makes it safer and you don’t have to worry about the cat swallowing anything.

Some cats like to play “fetch”. It is hard to figure out why. For this game I recommend small, soft balls or other soft not-easy-to-swallow objects. It’s even more fun when you have stairs, so you can throw the ball all the way up, watch it roll down and watch your cat dash after it. Sometimes he/she will stretch out on the middle of the stairs, in waiting. Cats are smart like that. So you might end up having to walk some stairs to fetch it yourself, but that’s good exercise.

Boxes are good fun. An added soft bit of blanket is a bonus. Cat like to pounce them, hide in them, sleep in them and use them for pouncing unsuspecting other felines.

Of course, the best toy of all is you. You know your cat best. You know what makes them tick, and you know how to spend that quality time together. Experts say you should play with your feline for at least 20 - 30 minutes a day. It’s a great way to de-stress and healthy of all involved.

How To Select An Indoor House Plant

So you are ready to bring home an indoor plant!

Choose a good nursery that specializes in indoor plants. You will find there are many varieties to pick from so have some idea of the size and type you want and possible placement in your house. Before you even go to the nursery, write down where you plan to put these new plants and some general notes on the lighting, temperature and size required. For example if you are going to put it in an empty corner — is it one of the cooler or warmer spots in the house? does it get direct sunlight or indirect? does it get southern exposure to the sun or north, east, west? do you want to put the plant right on the floor or are you going to use a high planter? All this will help you narrow down your choices. Be prepared to ask many questions before you buy - use the nursery experts to make appropriate decisions.

Once you have selected the plant species, look at the specific plant very closely. You want to check the leaves, flowers and buds. You can easily check for disease or insect infestation by inspecting the undersides of leaves and the axil. The plant should look healthy to the eye with full, sturdy foliage. The shape should be balanced and evenly covered with leaves. The leaves should be clean but not shiny which is artificial polish applied to give it the healthy glow. It just means this plant already has problems and it is looking artificial while you wanted a real plant. If the leaves look yellow, have brown edges, spots, blotches or are wilted, it is clearly not the one to take home. If you are looking at flowering plants, select ones with new flowers and buds.

Good Luck !
