GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS’ HOUSE . . . Colorful house has been created in a fun-to-play-with shape. Hinged roof opens, reveals a set table; youngsters can play-act the porridge sequence.

Care of gift plants and garden greens The gift plant in your home should have as much light as is possible, preferably a sunny window. It should be kept away from drafts and heating elements. The plant likes a 65 to 70 degree day temperature and 55 to 60 degrees at night. As soon as the plant Is unwrapped, the foil should be punctured so that excess water can run out the hole In the bottom of the pot. It will probably need a good soaking so pour water around the top until it runs out of the bottom—then empty the water in the saucer under the plant. When this is done there is not much danger of over watering. Allow the soil to dry out before repeating the process.
