Whee! A very playful
An issue all about PLAYTIME
Fitz
This is Fitz, my old friend.
He needed a little fixing up.
I fluffed his matted fur.
I stitched his open seam.
I mended his broken heart.
Now he is ready
to be your friend.
Mine?
Yours.
Sharing is difficult for small children. Being a
recipient is a good first step in learning to share.
Fitz is a special hand-me-down. Why did he need
fixing up? Does your child have a favorite “lovey”?
Give it a hug and a kiss.

POEM The BEST Toy
I have a train and wooden blocks
And other toys in my toy box.
And though I can have fun with these
I’d rather play on Daddy’s knees.
We give our children lots of
things to show our love. Over
time, though, what a child
will cherish most is a loving
adult’s undivided attention.

After your child finds these objects in the picture, look
for the books. Then look around your home for your
child’s own favorite books. Read one together.

STORY Sweete
Home
I built a house, but not from stone,
not from bricks or wood.
No one lives inside this place,
but it sure does look good!
A cookie roof and candy doors
and frosting-covered walls
make this house a yummy place—
the sweetest home of all.
Even tots can help make a sweet house! In advance, use frosting to glue graham
crackers into a cube. Next day, let your child squeeze trimmings from small tubes
of icing. Add sprinkles, raisins, or other safe treats to decorate.

Highlights Hello Magazine was introduced in December 2012. This magazine for babies and toddlers targets children ages 0–2 years old. Highlights announced that this magazine, which is offered in several subscription packages is designed specifically for babies.
Laughter and Learning
Each Hello magazine follows a theme such as Sounds, Food or Farm Animals, that helps young children make sense of their world. Every issue is filled with colorful images, whimsical read-aloud stories, poems and simple activities that make babies giggle, laugh and learn. You’ll also find word play, games and lots of silly fun.
Babies love to look at other babies, so Hello also features plenty of photos of happy faces and little ones laughing and playing. Plus, our read-aloud stories are just the right length for even the youngest ones’ attention spans.
Thoughtfully Designed
Hello is the perfect size for little hands to hold and to fit into a diaper bag or purse. It’s also baby-safe, made of a tear-resistant, washable material with rounded corners and a stitched — not stapled — binding.
