Get the kids in the habit of getting their holiday
shopping done early. Bring them to the EarthWords �Chickadee Nest:
The 6th Annual Kids-Only Holiday Shop� on Saturday and
Sunday, December 1 and 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at North Chagrin
Nature Center, Rocky River Nature Center and Hinckley Lake
Boathouse & Store.
Children and parents are greeted at the door by the volunteer
�shopping elves.� Parents fill out a form with the amount of money
their children can spend, and help the kids make a holiday shopping
list. Then, the �elf� takes them to select gifts.
Some of the great presents they can choose include mugs,
jewelry, flashlights, key chains, packets of tea or coffee and
stuffed animal, just to name a few. There's something for everyone
in the family!
All of the gifts are under $10, and most are under $5.
While the kids are shopping, parents can get some shopping in,
as well, at the EarthWords shops. Each parent gets a discount
coupon, too.
After the kids are finished shopping, they can sit and enjoy
milk and cookies while a helper adds up the total and wraps and
labels the presents.
