Ornaments often are a great

choice for a handmade gift because they come with a readymade purpose. Jean Van’t Hul, a North Carolina-based mother and author of “The Artful Parent: Simple Ways to Fill Your Family’s Life with Art and Creativity” (Roost Books, 2013) offers this easy salt-dough ornament idea from her blog, ArtfulParent.com, that can be managed by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients• 4 cups fl ours

• 1 cup salt

• 1 ½ cups water

Preparation1. Mix all ingredients together

2. Roll dough fl at

3. Using holiday cookie cutters, cut out festive shapes. Add further decoration by using a straw to punch holes in the shapes or by pressing small glass beads into the dough.

4. Transfer to cookie sheets and bake at 225

degrees F for 3 or 4 hours, until hardened.

5. Once cool, string with a ribbon and they’re ready for gifting.

Another option for crafters of all ages (with supervision) is a felt garland. “They’re so cheery, they go with most decor and you can make them for the holidays or for use year-round,” says Amanda Carestio, an Asheville, North Carolina indie crafter. Simply gather felt in a variety of colors, some yarn and a pair of sharp scissors.

“Cut simple shapes – trees, stars, bells, gifts, ornament balls or simple fl ags – cut a hole in the top of each and tie them evenly spaced along the length of yarn: voila!”

Other easy crafts suitable for kids include painted fl owerpots – perhaps decorated with footprint butterfl ies. These can be created with holiday colors for seasonal decorating, or a rainbow of colors for year-round use. And edible gifts are another good choice. A batch of your famous brownies,

festively wrapped, could be a great holiday greeting. Or did you know that after a few minutes in the oven, candy canes become pliable? Visit Van’t Hul’s blog for details on how to turn these holiday candies into elegant ornaments or sculptures. Visit ArtfulParent.com and search “candy canes.”

Gifts for 2014Let’s face it: No one’s letting go! Here are the top items to gift the “Frozen” fan in your household

By Matthew M. F. Miller

CTW Features

For any parent grown weary of hearing the inescapable songs from

the Disney megahit “Frozen,” well … you might be in for a long holiday season. In 2013, the unanticipated and extreme fandom of the fi lm’s viewers led to a massive rush on tie-in merchandise, which concurrently left many shoppers frustrated with the lack of inventory and even more kids disappointed that Santa forgot to pack Anna and Elsa in his sleigh.

With a re-release of the movie as a Sing-Along Edition ($20, DVD), the rush on “Frozen” toys and accessories, most of which play the fi lm’s songs, is likely to rival last year. Thankfully there are a lot more

buying options this go-around, but if you want to snag the most-wanted “Frozen” swag in 2014, the tactic remains the same: Buy early and buy often to avoid the insanity that is likely to ensue. If you see something your kid wants, do not – I repeat – do not let it go.

KIDTRAX DISNEY FROZEN

6V SCOOTERAGES 2 TO 5 (MAX WEIGHT: 50

POUNDS), $140

It’s pretty much everything a young “Frozen” fan could want under the Christmas tree. It lights up; it plays three songs; it’s outrageously sparkly; and it zooms around at a whopping 2.5 mph. And lest you’re worried about dropping a fortune on batteries, the scooter’s 6V battery is rechargeable.


FROZEN CRYSTAL KINGDOM VANITYAGES 3 AND UP, $70

Standing just over 3 feet, the mirror can change its refl ection from Anna to Elsa at the push of button while playing “For the First Time In Forever.” It includes a brush, a necklace and Elsa hair-braid extension. Do not be fooled by the picture on the box: Elsa’s tiara and dress are not included.

OLAF SNOW CONE MAKERAGES 8 TO 11, $25

A clever take on the fi lm’s snowy sidekick, just insert ice cubes and fl avored syrup into Olaf and out pops fl avored ice from his belly. Included are two Olaf cups, one fl avor bottle, one scoop and two sugar-free fl avor packets.

SNOW GLOW

ELSA DOLLAGES 3 AND UP, $35

Touch Elsa’s “magical” snowfl ake necklace to hear her say 15 iconic lines from the movie as her dress lights up. And just when you thought you might escape “Let It Go” – just raise her arms and the song plays while her necklace puts on a mini-light show.


HIDE AND HUG OLAFALL AGES, $27

Love “Elf on the Shelf?” Love “Frozen?” Why not have the best of both worlds? Box set includes a brand new Olaf story and plush Olaf doll. Following the hide-and-seek theme of the book, parents can hide Olaf for kids to fi nd and receiveone of the snowman’s signature warm hugs.

STRIDE RITE FROZEN BOOTS AND SHOESAVAILABLE IN TODDLER AND KIDS SIZES, AROUND $50

Sisters Anna and Elsa are featured on these rainbow-sparkled, suede boots with a fl uffy lining. Boots feature a side zip, fl exible sole and decorative bow. The Velcro-fastened shoes have purple sparkles and pink fl owers, and they light up as kids walk, skip and dance, presumably while singing “Let It Go.”

FROZEN COOL TUNES SING-ALONG BOOMBOXAGES 3 AND UP, $35

The whole family can sing along to the preloaded tunes from the movie via the built-in microphone and speakers. Or jack-in your MP3 player to sing along to one of the billions of other songs in existence that are not from this movie.

FROZEN FINGER PUPPET SETAGES 2 AND UP, $15

Re-enact every scene from the movie with these 3 ½-inch plush puppets with padded fi nger sockets, satin gowns and faux fur accents.

Fancy computers, tablets and video games quickly add up to expensive

holiday wish lists. Although children will continually want the next big, expensive toy, gadgets will eventually break whereas experiences will stay with them for many years.

During the 2013 holiday season consumers planned to spend an average of $800 on gifts, according to the American Research Group, Inc. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on presents, however, emphasize meaningful experiences and shared memories that will be just as impactful – if not more impactful – in the long run.

“What are your fondest memories?” says Barbara Desmarais, a parenting and life coach at theparentingcoach.com. “It’s not things. It’s the people you spent the time with, it’s the things you did together. It’s the love you shared, it’s the laughter you shared, it’s the joy you shared, it’s the craziness you shared.”

Consider investing in a family trip or a funny photo session with the family rather than spending money on material objects, says Meghan Leahy, parenting coach at positivelyparenting.com. Twenty years from now, those

memories will be far more special than any new computer.

Of course, in the short run children might be

disappointed that the pricey gadget on the top of their list is not under the Christmas tree. If that gift is unrealistic given your budget, be

open and honest with your children about that reality. Parents often want to give their children the world, and, although this comes from a loving place, overly justifying purchasing decisions or feeling guilty might make parents appear insecure, Leahy says.

“At the end of the day [your children] love you and they just want your family to be

whole and happy, and so you are the leader in that effort,” Leahy adds.

If children still really want a particular toy after having an honest

conversation about its expense, they can pay for

part of it. These children will quickly learn the value of a dollar and appreciate the

item even more after earning it.

A predetermined budget also can be extremely helpful during the holidays. If consumers plan to spend $800 on gifts again this year, as they did last year, this amounts to saving approximately $15 each week of the year. Start saving early and you’ll be less inclined to shop impulsively and more able to spend time collecting meaningful gifts, says Stephany Kirkpatrick, senior director of fi nancial planning at LearnVest.

You can create an awesome Christmas morning and stay on budget. The key: Forget the never-ending wish list and focus on making them happy

SC ROOG ESC ROOG E


Regardless of your budget, though, the best gifts are usually those that come from the heart. The more thought people put into the gift-giving process, the better they feel emotionally about their money, Kirkpatrick says.

Do-it-yourself projects are great examples of meaningful gifts. A batch of homemade granola in a mason jar or an IOU for a fun day together are both great gift ideas.

“Just taking someone special in your life on a day where you can create a memory and you’re not spending money on things,” Kirkpatrick says. “So the cost of grabbing baguettes and cheese and a $10 bottle of wine can make

a far better experience.”

Pinterest and Etsy have plenty of simple, low-budget ideas for gifts that people can make themselves. Loved ones will receive a personalized present, as well as the knowledge that you took the time and energy to make it yourself. Especially during the holidays, when televisions and newspapers advertise hundreds of toys, consumers should remember that life is about experiences – not things.

“Everybody wants to have that moment where the child opens the gift and goes ‘Oh my god!’” Leahy says. “But that is a very brief moment in a very long life.”

“What are your fondest memories? It’s not things. It’s the people you spent the time with, it’s the things you did together. It’s the love you shared, it’s the laughter you shared, it’s the joy you shared, it’s the craziness you shared.”— Barbara Desmarais, parenting and life coach at theparentingcoach.com

There is perhaps nothing more frustrating around the holidays than attempting to fi x a string of broken lights. Luckily, there are a few quick steps to take before simply trashing the whole strand and buying them anew.

There are two main types of holiday lights – incandescent and LED. While there are many benefi ts to LED lighting – longer lifespan, energy-effi cient, cool to the touch – incandescent lights are still king when it comes to the holidays, according to Noah Johnson,

team leader of tree department at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan.

“The most traditional light that everybody tends to go for yet is still incandescent,” says Johnson. “LEDs haven’t caught on as much just because there is a difference in color variation.”

During Johnson’s four years in the tree department, he has found that while incandescent lights are more likely to malfunction, they also are easier to fi x.

First, before the lights are hung, check for and replace any burnt-out bulbs. Look for a faint black ring around the

inside of the bulb – these are either burnt out or on their way. Johnson cautions that if any such bulbs are not replaced, it could cause a chain reaction.

“Say, for example, you’ve got 10 black bulbs that will not work in that section of 50 anymore – that puts 20 to 30 percent more power to the remaining bulbs,” says Johnson. “That’s when your lights will get really bright, and they’ll blow out the entire section.”

If there are no black rings and an entire string goes out, it generally is the result of wire misalignment on the bulb or in the socket, according to Johnson.

“You want to make sure that copper wire on the outside of the bulb lines up on each side,” Johnson advises.

“Because if those are turned, and you put it back in the socket, it might not be making the connection – that’s what will kill that section of 50.”

Johnson also recommends one last check – of the fuses on the plug. Those can be easily replaced just like blown bulbs.

Ultimately, if no lights are black, all wiring is lined up and the fuse is working, that’s when it is time for a new strand of lights.

For quicker testing, Johnson suggests using what he calls a “light gun.” These affordable products test lights and fuses automatically for quicker troubleshooting.

What’s not to love about a gingerbread house building party?

Festive and fun, it’s a party fi lled with candy and other sweet treats, plus guests get the chance to create their own unique, take-home holiday keepsake.

A gingerbread party appeals to kids and adults, so you can invite parents to accompany their children or plan one as a way to celebrate the holidays with neighbors and your children’s friends.

Best of all, busy parents and budget party planners can pull off the soiree with minimal time and expense, says Andressa Hara, owner of Twinkle Twinkle Little Party, an event planning and design company.

It’s easy to throw together an impressive party with Christmas decorations you already have. “If you would like to throw a small party at home, get a little table, add milk and cookies and cupcakes and you’d be covered,” Hara says.

Hara has hosted parties for the last few years, and organizes them for clients. She says they’re a fun idea for kids.

“It actually engages them and keeps them busy, and parents can talk,” Hara says. “I wanted a holiday party that would give the kids something to do rather than run around or just eat sweets.”

Building the Party Basics Like any great party, it’s good to start with a theme, then build decorations and activities around it.

Along with traditional red-and-green decorations, a Candy Land or Santa’s workshop theme fi ts with this type of party, says Samantha Antes, owner of Confetti Events, a party planning company that counts children’s parties among its specialities. “Lots of your decorations can be homemade and made to look like you are in an enchanted forest of candy,” Antes says.

Antes suggests placing big bowls or vases full of different candy around the room. “It looks amazing and it’s double purpose,” she says. “The kids can eat it or use it for their houses and for decorations.”

For the actual building process, set up four to eight stations for partygoers to move around and build their houses in stages. All the “helpers” can dress as Santa’s elves and create a workshop atmosphere.

“Put your house together at one, make your roof and add decorations at another,” Antes says. “Play a game; give the kids a break. You can’t just have the focus be on one thing. It can go way too fast or it will take way too long and they will lose interest.”

The hostess should plan time for snacks and a few age-appropriate games

– or drinks for the adults.

This type of party is best suited for ages 6 to 12 and up if they plan to build and decorate on their own.

Unless you are a party pro or have a lot of free time, it’s easier to skip baking the gingerbread pieces from scratch and buy kits from a store. It’s a good way to get people in the spirit and get them excited.

How to Throw a Gingerbread House Building PARTY


1 GET GUESTS IN ORDER This party is good for all ages, but it works best for a group

of kids aged 6 to 12. Think get-to-know your neighbors and their kids, a gathering of extended family members or friends and their children, for school, church and scout groups or a party for your children’s friends who are close in age. The older kids can build their own, while the younger-aged kids can stick to helping bake and decorate gingerbread man cookies or decorating preassembled houses.

The holidays are busy, so send out invitations two or three weeks in advance and plan the party anytime after Thanksgiving through mid-December.

2 SET THE SCENE Decorations and desserts can be simple

or elaborate – handmade, store-bought or made by a professional designer and baker.

Ideas for an easy but festive dessert table include Christmas cupcakes, iced or gingerbread cookies, candy canes and holiday candy, milk, punch, hot cocoa and other refreshments. Dipped pretzels, cookies, marshmallows, cake balls, cake pops or other homemade candies add a little extra to the party.

3 BUILDING SUPPLIES You can make your own gingerbread pieces or buy

candy cane-, snowman- or other Christmas-themed cake pops and tops, personalized aprons and labels, decorating stations, photo opportunities with their completed house,

and a goodie bag big enough to take it home.

Keep the party about two hours. Plan time for snacks, stories and the house building activity.

Fun Modes of Transportation

Everything’s more fun on wheels! Here are three rideable gifts that are sure to please this holiday season.

Y FLIKER

Part skateboard, part roller blades, part scooter, the Yvolution Y Fliker is a cool way

to glide and pop a wheelie.

The newest addition to the Y Fliker line, the LIFT is a 3-wheeled scooter you can propel forward by wiggling your hips. The LIFT also allows you to tilt back and glide, thanks to an extra pair of support wheels. It’s available in a variety of sizes, so you can

get the right one for your child – or, if it’s too tempting to resist, for yourself. With a little practice, you and your son or daughter will be popping wheelies in no time.

CTW

MOBO MEGA MINI

Want to introduce your young child to the world of riding without breaking out

the training wheels? This three-wheeled cruiser may be just what you’re seeking.

Mobo’s Mega Mini is a great option for kids age 2 to 5. Plus, the Mobo

Mega Mini is adjustable, so unlike a tricycle, it can grow with your child and last for several years.

Or, if you’re little one is a cartoon lover, Mobo also has a line of Disney-themed cruisers featuring characters

from Cars and Planes – and, starting this Christmas, “Frozen.”

The other ‘ride’ gifts kids will go crazy for!

MAVERIX ELECTRONIC SKATEBOARD

What’s the only thing better than a skateboard? How about an electronic

skateboard with a belt-driven motor and a handheld wireless remote? Yeah, that just may trump it.

The Maverix line of electronic skateboards, which can go up to 10 miles on a single charge, come in a variety of sizes and feature anti-lock breaks to help slow riders down without kicking them to the curb. Their smallest model, the California, is an ideal gift for kids ages 9 through 16.

Marc Shinderman, CEO of Maverix, says that the skateboards have found a home just not amongst youths, but with their parents, too.

“We’re fi nding that it’s not just young adults, or kids and teens that want to ride them, but also adults,” says Shinderman.
