Felt Board for All Ages
There are many ways to teach and present to children. One, low-cost, idea that I found is by using a felt board. And not just any felt board, but one that is homemade. Follow the link to Martha Stewart's website, as she teaches step-by-step on how to make your child's very own felt board. Also, there are some great ideas of how to make the different objects and shapes to place on the felt board.

With this felt board, help your child to learn the alphabet, identify specific animals, play simple games, be familiar with different colors, learn foods, copy family members pictures onto pieces of felt to learn names, and so much more can be used with this felt board. Place it in the family room or child's room, somewhere they have access to it. Enjoy!

Ideas for Indoor Birthday Parties
It continues to be a bit nippy outside for one of your child's birthday parties. You don't want your child and their friends to catch a cold because you couldn't come up with any creative ideas to have an indoor birthday party! So how can you throw a really fun party, without outdoor activities? On marthastewart.com, there are plenty of ways to have the party everyone will keep talking about, right in your very own home! There are several ideas, whether your child is having the big ONE YEAR OLD birthday or celebrating their tenth birthday. One idea that really stuck out to me was the Movie Star theme. Follow this link to create a movie premiere set in your living room. http://www.marthastewart.com/article/movie-star-birthday-party?backto=true&backtourl=/photogallery/themed-indoor-birthday-parties#slide_9 This party may be more appropriate for a little older crowd, those who maybe have a favorite movie or television show.
For those parents with younger children, you may want to try what Martha Stewart calls a "Tiny Birthday Party." http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/themed-indoor-birthday-parties#slide_3 Everything is much smaller and simpler. And for those of you who have little ones, they always want the more simpler object to play with. Throwing this party suggests having a little cake, small grilled cheese sandwiches, and small party favors. Though this is suggested for a younger child's party, it can be for any age and can really be made low-budget (which we all love)!
