TIDBITS® REMEMBERS
CLASSIC TOYSby Kathy Wolfe
At this time of year when we are bombarded with ads for a wide variety of toys, Tidbits looks at those toys that have been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, as well as some of our other favorites. •America’sNationalToyHallofFame,located
in Rochester, New York, was established in 1998. It honors those toys and games that have maintained their popularity over many years. In order to qualify for admission, the toy must be “widely recognized, respected, and remembered,” and foster learning and creativity. In addition, it must be more than a passing fad and show innovation. Toys in the Hall are not necessarily brand-name items. For example, the kite, bike, jump rope, rocking horse, and jigsaw puzzles are included. Checkers, yo-yos, jacks, and doll houses are all inductees, along with an item nearly child has played with, the cardboard box, a source of endless creativity.
•Originally designed as a cereal premiumprize,Mr.PotatoHeadwas thefirst toy tobeadvertised on network television. Introduced in 1952, he met the lovely Mrs. Potato Head in 1953. He sported a pipe for many years, but in 1987, it was abandoned when Mr. Potato Headbecametheofficial“spokespud”for theAmerican Cancer Society’s Great AmericanSmoke-Out.

◆ “Digital picture books are very easy to make these days, and they make great gifts. But here’s a way we use our digital photos to keep the kids engaged at family gatherings. Each family prints out a selection of photos. We let the kids make their own books using half sheets of paper, glue and markers. They design frames, etc. After they have several pages done, we tie them together and make a cover of heavy cardstock. It’s a great take-home craft, a special souvenir for visitors and it gets them talking about family moments.” -- R.E. in Alabama
◆ Want to mix it up a bit with your traditional chocolate chip cookies? Try rolling them in different types of chopped nuts or sprinkles. Even crushed pretzels are really good. Or change the flavor of the chip. Add minced dried fruit, quick oats or other seeds for a change of taste. Melt chocolate chips and dip one side in it, then let dry on waxed paper. Endless possibilities!
◆ At a loss for what to do with Christmas cards from years past? Why not make a wreath? Cut out a large ring from a cardboard box or other sturdy material. Arrange cards at different angles around the circle. Add decorative holiday picks or sprays, and ribbon or bow for depth.

• The Kenner Easy-Bake Oven hit retailers’shelves in 1963, the brainstorm of inventor Ronald Howes, who was inspired by New York City street vendors roasting chestnuts and cooking pretzels. Two 100-watt light bulbs heated the food in a trendy turquoise oven, after little girls had mixed up the packets of cakemixwithwater.Thefirst year, 500,000ovenswere sold for $15.95 each.Thirty-fiveyears later,more than16millionEasy-Bakeshad been sold, and today that number tops 23 million.

◆ It was beloved American film star Katharine Hepburn who made the following sage observation: “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give -- which is everything.”
◆ You might be surprised to learn that one out of every 18 people has a third nipple.
◆ The epic 1939 film “Gone With the Wind” was awarded 10 Academy Awards and is a beloved classic to this day. Given the astounding success of the movie, it’s shocking that one of the stars, Vivien Leigh, was paid only $15,000 for her role as Scarlett O’Hara.
◆ The world’s smallest spider is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
◆ You may not realize it, but not all “light” beers have fewer calories than brews without that label. A beer simply has to be lighter in color to be called “light.”
◆ The African ostrich lays an egg that weighs a whopping 30 pounds. It’s so sturdy that a grown man can stand on it without causing it any harm.
◆ When the Titanic sank in 1912, many passengers perished in the frigid waters because no ship came to their aid until the Carpathia arrived more than two hours after the disaster. However, there was another ship nearby as the liner sank: a freighter, the California, was only 10 miles away. The crew even saw emergency flares fired from the liner, but they thought it was part of a celebration rather than a signal of distress.
◆ Although a normal human infant is born with 350 bones, the normal human adult has only 206 bones.

Some Cats at Katie’s Place – The Hidden Gem Edition The volunteers love all the cats that come into our care. We know each individual is special and deserving of a family of their very own even if they not are the prettiest or the youngest or the most out-going and we believe there is a home for each and every one. We do, however, understand that needs of the human and needs of the cat need to mesh to ensure a good match all around. We still find ourselves looking around the shelter at some of the amazing animals we are privileged to know and wonder “Why in the heck are you still here?” .
Loretta Lynn is such a cat. She is a pretty little thing with velvety fur. She is young, healthy and friendly and she gets along well with other cats yet she gets overlooked. Perhaps it is because Loretta is a
little shy at first, but she readily soaks up the attention of a kind and gentle touch. She also enjoys curling up in your lap for a little nap and someone would be very lucky to add this wee girl to their family. Why Ravenpaw is with us may not be quite as mysterious as he came to us from another shelter without accommodations for FIV positive cats. Many people are still a little concerned about FIV but studies have proven these cats can live long, healthy lives. He is such a mellow, friendly sort who is often found in his room chillin`out with his buddies on the couch. If you`re looking for a calm fellow with few demands and simple wants, please come meet this sweet, affable gent. 604.463.7917
Top 5 holiday treats for pets(NC)—The holidays are all about giving. If you have a pet in your life here are some fun ways to treat them—including a few gifts—courtesy of the animal lovers at PetSmart:
• Picture perfect. Get your pet ready for holiday pictures at your local grooming salon. PetSmart salons even have a Look Great Guarantee and, for a limited time, dogs can smell as sweet as a Christmas cookie with the sugar cookie-scented spritz that comes when the Top Dog Package is added to the grooming service. Your pet can also pose for a picture with Santa in-store during the first three weekends of December.
• Stay warm, dress up. To keep your dog cozy and stylish throughout the winter season, consider specially designed hoodies and coats like the Martha Stewart Pets Puffer Coat or give them their own special holiday outfit like the PetHoliday by Top Paw How the Grinch Stole Christmas Tee.
• Treats from the heart. Nothing says holidays like the smell of warm cookies baking in the oven. Dog owners wanting to include their four-legged friend in the family baking tradition can make tasty homemade biscuits in minutes using ingredients commonly found at home, like peanut butter, with a gourmet dog treat maker from Sunbeam.
• Give a gift that keeps on giving. Help save homeless pets and give a gift at the same time, when you purchase a Luv-A-Pet plush toy from PetSmart. When you purchase one or more of these toys, such as this year’s new Chance the Dog designed by Bret Michaels, 10 per cent of the proceeds go to PetSmart Charities of Canada to help save the lives of homeless pets.
• Stuff a stocking for your four-legged friend. Include your loving pet in the family festive fun by hanging their very own stocking filled with treats and toys. There are a variety of options to keep your pet entertained and happy, such as Martha Stewart Pets Holiday Intelligence Dog Toys that will test your dogs’ problem solving skills. For dogs that like to choose their own gifts, PetSmart has over 8,000 toys making it easier for dogs to sniff out their favourite toy.
More information is available online at PetSmart.com.
Ring in the New Year with your pet
(NC)— It’s the time of year where people make resolutions to be a better and healthier version of themselves. So why not make resolutions that will mutually benefit you and your pet? Here are some ideas to help you and yours have the best year yet.
• Eat more fresh food: This may seem like an easy resolution, however it takes time and preparation. For humans this means incorporating more fruits and veggies in your diet and for pets this means ensuring that their pet food uses ingredients such as fresh turkey, salmon and duck, fresh omega 3 and 6 oils (from coconuts and canola), wholesome berries and fruits and vegetables like peas, spinach and carrots. Now Fresh premium petfood by
Petcurean is a great example. You can learn more about choosing a pet food with the freshest, healthiest ingredients at petcurean.com.
• Get more exercise: Did you know pets can decrease our blood pressure and cholesterol levels and increase our opportunities for exercise, outdoor activities and socialization? Exercising together will not only help optimize your health but also allow you to spend more time together.
• Use that agenda: This doesn’t seem like a resolution, but sometimes making a plan is the only way resolutions will come to life. Most of us schedule time for other appointments and meetings, so why not set aside some priority time for pets too?
