SOCIETY, WOMEN S ORGANIZATIONS ANN CONNELL, Society Editor By GAILE DUGAS NEA Staff Writer Half the fun and sparkle of Christmas morning lies in seeing it through the eyes of a child. It's a day that belongs to children, really, so why not let them take part in the holiday preparations as well as in the day itself?" One of the best ways to do this without slowing down the neces sary actual preparations is to let the small fry wrap the gifts that they will hand or send to others. This- will give them Something to do (keeping them out of your hair) and at the same time, let them feel that they're participating in the holiday excitement. If you feel that Christmas gift wrapping is too difficult for a small child to attempt, remember that kindergarten-age children work wilh construction paper, build miniature houses and farm yards and love making things with their hands. If, for inslance, the gift is light in weight, it's a simple matter lo cut two socks from any gift-wrap paper and tape Ihe edges together with matching colored tape. This also is a good solution for an odd shaped gift. You 11 have to work along with your child to get him started but once he has the idea, he'll want to do it all himself. And what if his efforts aren't perfect? As decoration for any package, suggest that he try cutting a Christmas tree from green con struction paper. This is done by folding paper in half and cutting simple (trce pattern. To trim the tree, mane a cnain ot rco joops Irani paper. These are the regular kindergarten loops, taped or glu ed together. A toy drum is created from any round box or an oatmeal box cut up. To cover the side ot box, cut a strip the exact height ot box and long enough, to go around with a bit for overlap. Cut a round piece of paper for the top and fasten it on with tape. As bow trim, tie red and green lollypops together with red ribbon and tape them to top of tho drum. For a snowman bow, use two white pom-pom bows to form the body and top them with a small silver tree ornament for the head. Hat is cut from black construction paper. Eyes and buttons can be cut from any colored paper to blend in wilh gift paper used on box that snowman adorns. Santa's pack is easy to copy. Cut gift-wrap paper in shape of an ordinary paper bag, taping three sides. This is especially good for small, lightweight toys used for Christmas parties at school or church.
