Last Wednesday morning,
Jean Senior, Co-ordinator of
Children's Play at Ooderich
Psychiatric Hospital discussed
children's play toys with the
Women's Day Out group. Jean
'etressed the fact that each child
should have a space in the
home which is his or hers to do
his "own thing.". Whether this
space is a playroom or a corner
in the bedroom 'or kitchen
depends on the home.
Jean warned that the atten-
tion span of a pre-schooler is
short. He may read a dozen
boqks arid play with five or six
toys in less than half an hour.
She stressed. that books should
be bright viiith many colored
pictures to catch his eye, but
small enough to pick up and
read. The "read -to -books"
should also be colorful with
stimulating stories. The local
library has a great many bopks
which mother can borrow.
Jean went all out to demon-
strate that toys should be
durable with her own
childhood doll whose arms fell
off while she was illustrating
the rough treatment she gave it
as a child. Thank goodness, it
was repairable. Nothing,. is
more 'disappointing than a toy
that falls apart the first day.
Toys do not have to be ex-
pensive. A grocery box,
.homemade bean bag, spoons,
pots, pans, etc. •can stimulate
the child's imagination and be
more fun than an expensive
push button' toy which may not.
hold the child's attention.
With instruments from the
G.P.H. rhythm band, Jean ex-
plained how a child's sense ,of
rhythm 'could be developed
with -two. sticks to bang
together. A tamborine could be
made from two paper plates
sewn or stapled together with
beans to make the rattle. Bells
bought at the Variety store can
be threaded on a elastic to
make a musical instrument.
These instruments can be used
to play along with the child's
favorite record.
Let your child be artistic
with paper and washable poster
paints. Jean illustrated with
art done by 3-5 year olds. The
shapes and forms may not be
your idea of a tree or a dog but
it is that child's. You should
allow him to create. Give him
positive support.
ideas.
Next week's column will tell
about the fun we had dancing
to the rhythm of Mary Lynn
Telford's bagpipe records and
the thought provoking
discussion on ,"Nuclear' Power
and Our Energy Needs", led by
Mary Ann Shaniihan.

The women rounded off the
morning by forming groups and
discussing how they kept their
children busy at home. Many of
the mothers were interested in
