Noah's Children: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best children’s bedding?
Childrens bedding, much like your own, should be soft and comfortable.
One pillow should be sufficient for your child – more could
cause neck pain and breathing problems. When you’re looking
to purchase children’s bedding a big consideration is your
taste and your child’s likes and dislikes. So choose carefully
and you’ll have everyone happy. 
What are the best children’s books?
A short list of best books for children of all ages would include:
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Where the Sidewalk Ends: the Poems and Drawing of Shel Silverstein
by Shel Silverstein
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
What are the best games to take on the road for children?
Children love puzzles, so anything from word puzzles to riddles
and jokes will keep your kids occupied on those long rides.
What are the best snacks for children?
The top three are, in no particular order:
- Peanut Butter This versatile childhood favorite's got plenty
of protein and fiber. For a change, try making silly PB&J
sandwiches: Instead of bread, use toasted mini waffles or rice
cakes.
- Cut up fruits and veggies
- Healthy Baked Treats Your child will never guess you're sneaking
fruits or vegetables into her diet when you bake them into yummy
muffins or breads. Banana bread, zucchini muffins, and carrot
bars are a few of our favorites for kids.
What are the best toys to stimulate my children’s creativity?
Creativity toys stimulate self-expression. The child can draw pictures
with crayons, finger-paints, and watercolors. Put your child's pictures
up on a wall so others can admire his or her artwork. Your child
will find clay and PLAY-DOH® fun. Craft sets provide a lot of
play value and learning. Children learn to follow directions and
a sequence of activities.
What kinds of toys are best for my 6 month old?
Babies at the ages of 0 - 6 months are all about discovery. They
are discovering how to use their hands, feet, eyes and most of their
senses. They are fascinated by cause and effect, and are becoming
aware of their surroundings. Toys that they love include rattles,
cloth toys, teethers, soft dolls, unbreatkable mirrors, anything
that they can explore completely, i.e. with all their senses!
What are some toys that little boys like a lot?
Little boys like to create and build. Like all kids toys that utilize
their imaginations are best. Some examples include Play-Doh, rock
climbing walls, illustory books (create your own book), dance mats
are popular with little boys, and of course age appropriate video
games. The idea is to keep the child’s hands and mind busy!
My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up and the
family wants to get together on a “big” gift for her.
Any suggestions?
Children’s bedding is always a welcome gift! Because bedding
comes with accessories everyone can pitch in to get her a whole
set! Look for bedding that reflects her interests. Today there are
so many styles from sports teams to princess bedding and they come
with matching extra throw pillows, window valance, pictures, some
even with matching wallpaper! Just look around and you’ll
find the perfect gift from the whole family!
My little brother is in the hospital having surgery and
will be there for a few weeks. What can I get him that will entertain
him while he’s there?
Kids that have to stay in bed need things that will keep their
hands and minds active! Coloring books and crayons, doodle boards,
crossword puzzles and games, joke books that you can read to each
other! There are lots of options – mostly he’ll probably
just want a lot of company so really being there for him will mean
a lot!
What kinds of toys will encourage my child’s creativity?
Toys that encourage a child to use his/her creativity to complete
the toy or find several uses for one toy nurture the child's imagination.
It helps them to become creative and use "out of the box"
thinking. It is important to offer open-ended, multi-purpose types
of toys because so many of the toys given to children today do the
work for them in an attempt to entertain or teach a specific skill.
We want children to be independent thinkers and problem solvers
in addition to having factual information in memory.
