safe toys for kids Children look forward to opening their holiday presents all year. However, there are some things to keep in mind to make sure gifts are safe and appropriate. To help you make savvy selections, PlaySafe.org from The Toy Association, the premier site for toy safety information, is offering the following guidance:
Avoid shady sellers
Toy Association of U.S. parents who are their household’s primary toy purchaser revealed that 71 percent of parents whose kids get holiday gifts from grandparents who shop online aren’t completely confident that their elders know how to ensure that toys are from verified sellers. In the same survey, 19 percent of parents report that their child has received a knockoff toy that was bought online. Parents should talk to gift purchasers about sticking with verified sellers. This includes buying directly from brand websites or by following provided links to official retailers selling a brand’s products. For those who do choose to shop through lesser-known online sellers, checking out reviews and a product’s legitimacy before making a purchase is essential.
Playing with toys above a child’s age
Pay attention to toys labeled 3+
Toys labeled 3+ may contain small parts that can be a choking hazard for children under 3 or kids who still mouth toys.

Follow age recommendations
grade can lead to misuse and possible injury. However, 26 percent of parents in The Toy Association survey report that their kid has received a toy, which was meant for kids who were older. Pay special attention to age grading on product labels and encourage family members who are also toy shopping to do the same. These are not merely suggestions, they’re firm recommendations made by safety experts based on childhood developmental stages. Find this information on labels and in product descriptions. If it’s not available, that’s a red flag and could mean the toy is illicit.

This time of year can be especially costly, making it tempting to shop around. However, that low priced toy may not actually be “a good deal.” “U.S. toy safety laws are considered the gold standard. Before reaching your home, a toy is subjected to over 100 different safety standards and tests and must be certified compliant by an independent testing laboratory,” says Joan Lawrence, The Toy Association’s “Toy Safety Mom” and senior vice president of standards and regulatory affairs. “The cheap imitations and counterfeits available online from illicit sellers haven’t met these same safety standards.” A recent survey commissioned by The

(Continued from page 3)
While these items often make great gifts for older kids, they should be stowed away after playtime to keep younger siblings safe. Not sure if a toy is small enough to be hazardous? Consider getting a Small Parts Tester to test toys and other small household objects.
Monitor playtime
Kids find ways to play with things that are not toys, including objects that can be very dangerous if accidentally swallowed. The holiday season may introduce new curiosities to the house (e.g. batteries, high-powered magnets, decorations, medications from visiting family members). On the other hand, there is a federal law that requires batteries in toys to be kept inaccessible, thanks to the use of a locking mechanism. Keep dangerous, non-toy items out-of-reach and monitor children during playtime. For additional toy safety information, tips and resources, visit PlaySafe.org. “Don’t let your child unwrap a potential safety hazard this holiday season,” says Lawrence. “By shopping smart you can ensure safe play.” (STATEPOINT)

5 WAYS TO SHOW YOUR PET YOU
Care this holiday season During the holidays, there are endless ways to show the humans around you how much you love them. Finding ways to extend the joy of the season to pets who are a part of the family takes a bit more creativity. Here are five ideas for celebrating with furry friends this holiday season:
Spend quality time together
Pamper your pet
A whopping 72 percent of pet parents plan to give their pets a gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season, according to a recent Pet Releaf survey conducted by The Harris Poll. Not only is hanging a stocking for pets a fun way to include them in a family tradition, it’s also a great opportunity to give products a test run. Look for pet products offered in trial or small sizes, such as CBD-infused Edibites
Decorate safely
When selecting holiday décor, prioritize your pet’s safety above all. Steer clear of plants toxic to pets, like holly, poinsettias and mistletoe; and avoid stringy items such as tinsel, curling ribbons or other tree and gift trimmings that when ingested, can cause intestinal blockage.
Outfit your pet
Taking a festive family portrait for this year’s greeting card? Just want your pet to be comfortable and stylish on all those winter walks in the months ahead? With several major retailers offering ugly holiday sweaters for pets in a variety of sizes and designs, it’s easy to get your pet in on the fun. For more pet parent tips and insights, visit petreleaf.com/blog. The holiday season is all about showing loved ones you care. This year, make sure that also includes furry friends. (STATEPOINT)

Stock the pantry with holiday baking ingredients Many holiday traditions begin with family and friends gathered in the kitchen or around the dinner table. Food is an integral part of celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas and Chanukah, and key components of each holiday are tied exclusively to food. Come the holiday season, many people gather to make delicious desserts for holiday dinners or even as gifts. The right ingredients are necessary to produce a bounty of baked goods. It’s also essential to ensure those ingredients are fresh, as age can compromise the taste of some spices, and leavening ingredients like yeast, baking soda and baking powder may lose efficacy over time. • Flours: All-purpose flour is versatile and useful in many recipes. In addition, bread flour, cake flour and pastry flour have attributes that make them better suited for their respective jobs than all-purpose flour. Individuals who follow certain diets, including

gluten-free diets, can find alternative flours that can be substituted in many different recipes. • Baking soda: This leavening agent is activated when it is combined with acid and heat. That is why it is often paired with citrus juice, buttermilk and sour cream. • Baking powder: This leavening agent is baking soda mixed with a powdered acid and cornstarch. If baking soda is the only leavening agent, it will not require the addition of another acidic ingredient. “Double-acting” means carbon dioxide bubbles will form during mixing and again during heating. • Yeast: Yeast takes more time to metabolize and cause doughs to rise than other leavening agents. • Sugar: Granulated sugar is the most common sugar found in recipes. Confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar) is used in frosting and icings. Brown sugar is refined sugar with molasses added, and is used in certain recipes, like gingerbread. • Salt: Granulated table salt is used in everyday baking. • Unsalted butter: Unsalted butter will be the default for baked goods unless the
recipe specifically mentions salted butter. • Eggs: Eggs help to bind ingredients together. Large eggs are most often cited in many baking recipes. • Milk: Dairy adds moisture and texture to batters. Alternative milks, such as soy or almond milk, can sometimes be substituted, but the resulting texture may change. • Vegetable oil: Many recipes call for vegetable oil, which has a neutral flavor. • Shortening: Shortening is a solid vegetable fat used to make tender baked goods. Shortening also has a higher melting point, which helps cookies and other items retain their shape while cooking. • Flavorings: It is helpful to have various spices and extracts on hand. Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice are some common baking spices. Almond and vanilla extracts are quite versatile and add extra punch to recipes. • Additions: Mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, cocoa powder, oats, nuts, and dried fruits, often turn up in holiday recipes. Certain ingredients are essential for baking and holiday cooks can take steps to ensure their pantries are stocked in time for the holidays. (METRO CREATIVE)

don’t require in-depth gaming knowledge or a long, complicated setup to get going. For example, games where you race alongside one another, manage a farm or build houses in a village full of talking animals have been popular in recent years. Games like these are low-stress ways to pass the time that can cross generations. And thanks to online features, many can easily be played together even if you’re far apart.
Stream movies together Thanks to today’s technology, there are many ways to view family favorites or holiday classics together, even when you’re not in the same room.

favorite angler this holiday season? Was your favorite angler a good angler this past year? Did they cry? Did they pout? Santa Bass is coming to town and he’s been checking his list, twice. He sees all the times when an angler acted with kindness at the boat landing as well as those anglers who cut off another angler at a good fishing spot. If your favorite angler isn’t on Santa Bass’s naughty list and deserves lots of gifts this year, here are 10 can’t-miss gifts to put under the tree this year.

The lure dives to 6 feet when fished on 12-pound test line – hence the “6” in its name. It’s perfect for those who love bass fishing.

Giant replica lure No, it’s not a lure for great white sharks. But it does make for an interesting conversation starter. This giant, 29-in. replica of a well-known fishing lure is a natural centerpiece in any guy’s mancave. It comes packaged in giant replica lure box carton.
Protection against the sun and wind The best way to stay cool and comfortable on and off the water is with a Rapala Solid Core Performance Shirt. Its trend-forward design offers UV (30 SPF)
Fisherman’s tool combo If you’re looking for an incredibly practical gift for that very practical angler in your life you can’t beat fishing tools such as pliers, a digital scale, scissors and a ruler.
• Meaningful gifts
Warm sweatshirt For cold, crisp days on the water, an angler needs a hooded sweatshirt to stay warm from the cold and wind. The Rapala sweatshirt is lined with a full fleece interior to keep your favorite angler comfortable without being too heavy, while a kangaroo front pouch allows for hands to stay toasty warm between casts.

Donate in her name
One great way to show that you honor the causes that the special woman in your life cares about is to make a donation in her name to an organization. Take time to research local and national organizations that educate, empower and support women in a way that is relevant and meaningful to your gift recipient and then make an investment of time or money in her honor.
