Removal of pen marks on clothing.


       Oh No Another Pen Mark...          Worry no more
Emily Victoria has the solution!

  •  What you will need
  1. A bottle of pure eucalyptus oil 
  2.  A soft cloth
  3. latex or plastic gloves                                                                                                                                             

  • How it is done:
  1. Put on gloves   
  2.  Gently dab a very small amount of the oil on the stain with the soft cloth
  3. Let it sit for a few seconds, then delicately blot and rub until the stain is gone  
  4.  Launder as usual; if you are in a hurry you can just air-dry it until the smell disappears        

 The solution works best on cottons and light woven fabrics
           (Never use this solution on Leather)

Creative activities for you and your child!


Encounters with animals can make a great topic of conversation for you and your child!
( This will help him develop his range of sounds)

1) Gather up the family for a trip to the nearest zoo, farm,or petting zoo.


 2) As you see the animals, imitate the noises they make.
           
3) On the drive back, take turns recalling what animals you saw and what noises they made.
4) In the kitchen, keep a brochure from the zoo or a book depicting some of the animals you saw. You can chat with child about your zoo walk and make the animal noises while you work in the kitchen.
If you can feed the animals then make sure you do!
( Wash hands after)
