-18, CHRISTMAS EDITION, THE HERALD, Wed. Dec. 22,1976"

To Amuse Youngsters.

a Have you noticed how
the toy with all the jazzy

gadgets and gimmicks is

‘often the first Christmas
“present to be ignored?

Though such a gift may

have provided a few hours’

entertainment on Christ-
mas morning, its initial. ap-

-peal will probably have

been played out by the

~ afternoon!

When buying a Christ-

~ mas gift for younger friends

and family members, take
‘its long-term enjoyment in-
.to consideration. One ex-
cellent and inexpensive gift

- choice is a game. Very of-

ten the more it’s played,

the more fun it becomes, °
which means that it will
-be: just. as popular in six.
. months’ time as it is on

Christmas day! —

“A game can also be a
wonderful ice-breaker for

-youngsters — perhaps for .
‘cousins. who’ haven’t seen .
each other since last Christ- -
mas. Youll be surprised
_ how quickly they become”
friends again once they

begin playing a game to-
gether.

*- nation keen, Parker Broth- _

ers, who have been publish-

. ing quality games for more

_ For Those Inevitable
Hard-to-Wrap Gifts

In every group of pres-
ents, there's always at least

-one item of such an irregu-

lar shape that it’s impos-

. sible to wrap it neatly. For
these problem gifts, try .

making a paper sack from
bright red paper, using a
plain grocery bag as your
pattern. Apply a design cut
out from left-over gift

_ wrapping paper ‘for color-

ful decoration.

Here’s another tip for yet
another holiday headache:
trying to wrap that gift
bottle.

A clever way to handle
this problem is by turning

"your gift into a clown ;
with bright, gummed-back "

paper. Draw ‘the ‘clown’s To

face on the neck of the bot- —

tle and tieit witha bigbow. . |
‘Make paper into a cone
shape for the clown’s hat, *.

finishing it off with ball
fringe. The fringe can also
serve as his nose and for the: -
buttons on his “suit”...

(‘Qeeye,

Festive little mincemeat

or cranberry ples are even: =
more giftable if set ona ..

small paper plate and.

wrapped with cellophane, :
clear or colored, and tied
witha sprig ofholly. — ~
