Did you say fruit?
APPLE and ORANGE and BUCKWHEAT
Yes, botanically all three are classified as fruit, and each is highly
nutritious in its own way.
Buckwheat is the best source of high biological protein in the entire plant
kingdom . . . very close to the protein level of whole milk solids. Kasha,
the 100% pure roasted buckwheat kernel, is rich in potassium,
phosphorous, fiber and vitamin B, and NO CHOLESTEROL. Thus, it is
an economical food high in balanced protein . . . and it's delicious, too!

party.
"We divided the kids up
ahead of time and told them
on the invitation to wear
either red, white or blue,"
Judy remembers. "We took
them to our neighborhood
playground, had relay races,
a tug of war and dirt bike
racing. We borrowed our
bikes and potato sacks from
neighbors."
Gabe recently celebrated
his seventh birthday with a
pirate party. The guests were
greeted at the door by pirates
(you guessed it — Judy and
Bobby) wearing black eye
patches, red bandanas and
carrying a sword.
The children were dressed
as "mateys" and then hustled
into rival pirate groups led
by costumed team captain,
who helped them search for
buried gold (Judy and the
kids had spent the previous
week painting rocks.)
After the hunt, the chil-
dren played simple outdoor
games and relays, all with a
pirate twist. "We even made
them walk the plank!'.' Judy
adds.
With all their planning and
ingenuity, even Rubin parties
have run amok. Judy vividly
recalls one disaster. "When
Josh was three, we dressed
the kids in cowboy hats and
rented a pony for pony rides.
It was pouring rain. We took
the horse into the garage.
Josh was terrified of the
horse and, to top it off, the
horse got sick!"
Bryna Leib, director of
Temple Israel nursery school,
cautions parents against
throwing a party "so elabo-
rate that the child becomes
confused and is lost in the
shuffle. Often parents want
to do so much for their chil-
dren but they forget to focus
in on their child's needs. As
parents, we shouldn't lose
sight of our priorities. We are
honoring our child for reach-
ing a new milestone, not
entertaining our friends."
She encourages parents to
plan small, simple parties,
where the environment re-
mains "warm and loving. The
best parties are extensions of
the child's play group with
children on the same level as
he."
"Entertainment for three-
and four-year-olds is not al-
ways the answer," Leib says.
"They like to entertain them-
selves. Parents might be
more successful with a simple
project or yard games."
For Trudy and Arthur
Weiss and their three chil-
dren, ten-year-old Aaron,
seven-year-old Rachel and
five-year-old Leah, parties
are a family affair. "Some-
times the pre-party planning
is more fun than the party!"
Trudy says. "The kids pick
their own theme, decide on
what kind of cake, pick out
their favors and write their
own invitations. We always
decorate the house with crepe
paper and balloons."
Trudy admits, "People look
at me like I'm crazy for all
the work I put into each
party, but it doesn't seem like
a birthday unless it's at
home."
Leah's fifth birthday was a
beach party. The children ar-
rived in their swim suits and
ran through kiddie pools and
sprinklers set up in the back
Home parties are
not for everyone. I
realized this
during an ice
storm.
yard. Older children sat on
barstools, held whistles and
acted like lifeguards. After-
wards, the children hunted
for candy on the front lawn.
Luckily, the weather cooper-
ated.
Rachel's seventh birthday
was a "Come As Your
Mother" party. Trudy found
this birthday party irresisti-
ble. "The girls were very
funny. One came dressed in a
leotard and warm-up socks;
another was all firpitzed
(dressed up). They made hats
with materials — feathers,
netting, scraps, buttons — I
had assembled. When they
were finished, we had a
parade and taped it with our
VCR camera, and then the
girls watched themselves on
TV."
Trudy followed through on
the theme up until the
party's end. Each girl took
home a pink carnation as
part of the goody bag. -\
Even if you aren't as crea-
tive or energetic as the Ru-
bins or the Weisses, with a
little effort you can host an
enjoyable and fast moving
party. (Be sure to have
back-up activities just in case
you underestimate the length
of the party.)
Most children ages three
through six will enjoy a
variety of simple activities.
One mother of four, who has
hosted many low-key home
parties, suggests reading a
story, listening to records,
coloring pages torn out of
coloring books and singing
songs. She often makes a < 1
simple project with the chil-
dren like a bookmark, mask
or party hat.
Young children will enjoy
easy, non-competitive games.
Try fishing for paper-clipped
fish with a magnet connected
to a homemade pole or play-
ing basketball with a plastic
laundry basket and nerf ball.
Reward all the participants
with a prize.
Hunts are always fun.
Make a scavenger hunt list
for non-readers by drawing
the items they need to find.
Have a peanut, treasure or
candy hunt.
