Five Christmas Gifts for Kids (Ages 5-7)
As your children age, they enjoy Christmas gifts that will challenge and entertain their developing minds. In this article, we will look at great Christmas presents for kids between the ages of 5 and 7. As you may know, I write a lot about gifts in the “edutainment” category. These are gifts that are both highly entertaining and use the mind at the same time. I believe that kids enjoy games that challenge their mind as well as bring a smile to their face. The first gift for these developing minds is Bananagrams. Banagrams is a word game, one similar to scrabble, that can be enjoyed by the whole family. However, unlike Scrabble, there is no board required. You simply need a table, which makes it a perfect game to take on the road. In Bananagrams, you formulate words with the 144 large letter tiles provided. In fact, since it is such a great family game, I know many families who buy several Bananagrams so that they can have huge games. This game can be played by all those 7 years and up, including parents and grandparents. Coming in at number 2 on our list of Christmas Gifts for kids is the Melissa & Doug Standing Easel, one of the Best Toys for Christmas 2009. This is an outstanding gift for all kids, especially within this age group. This is a time when children develop their artistic skills and the Melissa & Doug Easel set is the perfect tool for their development. It is a re-usable easel that the kids can enjoy time and again. Nerf Dart Tag continues to be a huge bestseller with kids of this age group. Why? Well, you remember when you were a kid. It’s always fun to throw things and shoot toy guns and play with your friends. Nerf Dart Tag allows kids to do all of these things safely. Sometimes, pure fun is the order of the day. And Nerf Dart Tag is just that! I have always been a large fan of LEGO sets and now we have LEGO sets for the young ones. When you see a child with LEGO sets, they are always entertained and educated. LEGO sets develop your child’s spatial recognition abilities and develop their young minds in the process. And, LEGO sets can grow with your children as there are many sets available. LEGO products are both fun and price competitive making them a good economical choice for the Christmas Season. Finally, our fifth gift recommendation is one that may be new to you. It is called The Butterfly Garden. One thing that my kids love to do is go to the zoo. We visit the zoo at least 4 times a year and that is never enough. What if the zoo could come to you? We achieve this in small part with The Butterfly Garden. The Butterfly Garden is a true Garden Habitat in which you get to see the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly. This kit includes a mesh garden habitat which is collapsible and reusable. The kits also includes a mail-in voucher for five butterfly larvae. This gift is truly the gift of seeing the lives of animals take shape.

Facts about Martial Arts for Kids – Part 5
“Will my child become more violent from learning karate, jujitsu, or another martial art?” In a word, “No.” Children learn self-control by practicing martial arts; and the code of conduct that is enforced, within the studio, is carried outside into every day life. The average martial arts school works with parents, and academic teachers, toward the goal of optimum student success. When you see a Karate demonstration team perform, that is not an indicator of the life skills taught within the Karate class. It is the “flashiest” component of Karate training, presented to capture the public attention. Ten minutes of kids using ancient weapons, breaking, and working in synchronized choreography, is more interesting to the public, than a lecture, by me, about dealing with bullies without violence. However, let’s take a closer look at the ten minutes of flash. The next time you see a martial arts demonstration team, remember those children have to practice those techniques over and over again. This requires self-discipline, goal setting, perseverance, and each child being a team player. There is no room for a “one way” personality on any martial arts demonstration team. Such a personality would work against a good public performance. In a typical Karate class, all of the above-mentioned life skills are learned and much more. Children learn much more about violence on the television, playing with video games, and dealing with daily life, than they will ever learn in a karate class. Even if a Karate teacher was the classic “evil sensei,” that you may have seen in the Karate Kid movie or on Kung Fu Theatre, most children can think of far worse violence. All you have to do is watch the news, cartoons, listen to the radio, or read a newspaper, to see things worse than unsupervised hand-to-hand combat. So, the self-defense methods taught to children actually pale in comparison to school shootings, bombings, wars, and drive-by shootings. Karate was created by unarmed civilians on the island of Okinawa and was taught in secret among family members for their personal protection. The philosophy, within a martial arts school, will not always be the same, but the seeds of violence are not sown within a martial arts setting. All you have to do is look around you to see more, and far worse, violence than learning self-defense – integrated with constructive life skills. The fact is a martial artist is not a “street fighter.” If that were a requirement, we would recruit the toughest kids in North Providence. As I explain to the children in my Karate and Jujitsu
classes, “Never forget the word, “artist,” means to be
creative, to be an innovator, and to think for yourself.” Children who learn martial arts are more apt to be well adjusted and defuse a potentially violent situation. On top of that, most children who study Karate, or any other martial art, will not be “trouble makers.” The children we teach from the Greater Providence, Rhode Island area have learned enough about leadership, in our Karate and Jujitsu classes, to think for themselves. For parents, the gift of martial arts training to their children has many rewards, right now, and into their future. © Copyright 2005 – Paul Jerard / Aura Publications WP Autoblog Plugin

Kids Fitness Ideas â Learn How to Create More Active Children
Let’s face it, children do not get near the exercise that they should nowadays. There are too many distractions from technology inside the home, and kids no longer enjoy the simple pleasures of running and playing outside. It may be the video games or TV that are keeping their eyes and bodies locked in place, but it is your responsibility as a parent to come up with kids fitness ideas that will get them moving again.Kick Them OutThis is one of the first steps that you can take to get your kids to participate in more active activities. Kids fitness ideas do not always have to be difficult or complicated, sometimes it can be as simple as kicking them out of the house. Tell them that they have to go outside and find something to do, and that they are not allowed back in until you say so. They may sulk in the beginning, but sooner or later they will find something active to do.Bring in the FamilyDo not expect your children to be the only active ones in the home. Instead, incorporate the whole family into the kids fitness ideas, and make it a time for bonding and getting to know each other all over again. You can get in shape and grow closer to your child at the same time. What could be better?Pile on the ChoresInstead of letting your kids off easy, why not incorporate responsibility into the mix while helping your kids stay active. Chores such as cutting the grass and taking out the trash can get your kids up and moving, and they will know that there is no choice when it comes to doing their chores.Plan Your Weekends Away From HomeOne way to ensure that your family does not spend the weekend in front of the TV watching yet another movie is to plan your weekends away from home. You can plan a trip to a neighboring town, where you can go sightseeing, or you can stay close to home and camp out at a local state park. Wherever you go, make sure that there is plenty of opportunity to incorporate kids fitness ideas.Take a Family Walk Each NightAnother one of the best ideas to not only get your children moving, but to incorporate some important family time into the mix, is to start a tradition where you take a family walk each night. This gets the whole family involved once again, and allows your children to stay active. This will normally work better for younger kids, as older kids may not want to be seen walking with their parents every day, but it is worth a shot.It is important that you do everything that you can to incorporate kids fitness ideas into your children’s daily lives. With the lure of technology getting stronger every day, if you don’t teach your kids good habits at a young age, they will never grow into active adults.
