January Journey Down Memory Lane-A Peek

 January is for Ringing in the Newy Year, a time of new beginings and endings. For some it is a time of inner refletion and stating their resolutions for the new year. 

The more the things change the more they stay teh same. Going through my collection of vintage 1950’s Jack and Jill and Children Activities I was reminded of some new expreriences I want to try. These magazines feature heartwarming stories, fun activities, and charming graphics that can bring out the child in all of us.

The covers of the magazines showcase delightful graphics that evoke pleasant memories of the past. The illustrations inside are equally enchanting.

Each magazine also includes a mini cookbook with recipes for a complete meal and additional dishes. I think there have many fad diets taht have come and gone over the past seventy years. But loosing weight still contiues to be a popular new year's resolution. 

After the meal, there are craft ideas to keep the children busy. 

If crafts weren't your thing, there were stories and poetry to entertain you, or you could have a delightful sing-along around the piano.

The included calendars are fantastic and can even double as 

coloring pages. One was already done by the child who this magazine 

belonged to.

Try these puzzles.

Look at these sons from 70 years ago.

December Days of Yore-A Peek-a-Boo Project

 

     

 December ushers in the winter season here in the United States and the celebration of the Christmas holiday. Although Chrismas decorations have been at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnn Fabrics since late June early July. I think we have forgotten the true meaning of this time of year and holiday. 

I recently reminisced about what it may have looked like seventy years ago. I loved looking through my gifted Jack and Jill and Children’s Activities magazines from the 1950s. These magazines feature heartwarming Christmas stories, fun activities, and charming graphics that can bring out the child in all of us.

The covers of the magazines showcase delightful graphics that evoke pleasant memories of the past. The illustrations inside are equally enchanting.

After the meal, there are craft ideas to keep the children busy. Some of them would make nice gifts if you or your children are up for the challenge.

If crafts weren't your thing, there were stories and poetry to entertain you, or you could have a delightful sing-along around the piano.

There are fun activities to keep your brain active and off of computers.
