BLEMISHES Witch Hazel Gel 200 g witch hazel twigs and (preferably young) leaves (see Resources on page 218) 2 cups (500 ml) hot water 6 packets vegetable gelatin 2 tbsp vodka 1. Place the witch hazel in a pan with the hot water. Over a gentle heat, slowly reduce mixture to a third of its volume until it reaches about 2/3 cup of liquid (this will take about 1 hour). 2. Line a sieve with cheesecloth, then strain the liquid into a mixing bowl. Add the gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Set aside to cool. 3. Once cool, add the vodka and stir well. Pour the gel into a wide-mouthed jar. COLIC Chamomile Syrup 4 handfuls (approx 40 g) German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flowerheads 4 cups (900 ml) water 2 1/4 cups (450g) sugar or 1 cup (340g) honey 1. In a pan, put the chamomile in the water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for about 20 minutes. 2. Reduce the mixture to 3/4 cup (approx 200 ml) by simmering very slowly with the lid off for an additional 20 minutes. 3. Add the sugar and simmer for a few more minutes, stirring until the mixture looks like syrup. Be careful not to boil rapidly; allow it to bubble just a little. 4. Strain through a mesh sieve and then pour it into a sterilized bottle. Seal with a cork; if the syrup ferments, the bottle might explode. USE: For a child, 1 tsp, 3 to 6 times a day. For adults, 2 to 4 tsp, 3 to 6 times a day. Caution: If you are diabetic, do not use. STORAGE: Keeps unopened for up to 1 year. Once opened, keeps for 1 week in the refrigerator.

Children love to have tea parties with siblings, parents, friends, and their favorite dolls or stuffed animal companions. This Say Please tea set is a delightful way to introduce babies and toddlers aged 6-36 months to pretend play and sharing, while helping them learn important skills like counting, shapes, opposites, good manners, and more! Silly sounds, fun songs, and surprising discoveries help make teatime memorable! Encourages problem-solving, counting, sharing, and good manners, like saying, “Please” and “Thank you!” Musical Surprises & Learning Fun Chunky styling and smiling faces make the Say Please Tea Set especially baby-friendly. And it’s full of musical surprises that every age will appreciate. The magic starts when the teapot lid opens to play silly sounds and share special greetings. Tip the pot and the fun “bubbles over,” sounding as if you’re really pouring tea! Pressing on the teabag produces more sound effects and charming sing-along songs, encouraging baby to take turns and even learning to say “please” and “thank you.” There are three different modes to enjoy: Learning mode encourages counting and opposites; Music mode has fun sing-a-longs; and Imagination mode focuses on role play. Imaginative Play, With Developmental Benefits The Say Please Tea Set’s classic theme introduces baby to early role play and social skills. Sing-along songs & phrases help baby learn about manners and sharing. Tea Set comes with three teatime treats shaped like a circle, triangle and square, which fit perfectly on matching sections of the serving plate. This encourages shape sorting and problem-solving play. To help make the most of your teatime together, try talking to your baby as you play, to help her associate words with actions. “I’m pouring tea into the cup. Can you open the lid?” Or count the treats as you show your child how to place them on the tray. Then let her give it a try. Best of all, invite friends (like dolls) to share in the fun of a tea party. Be sure to use extra-nice manners, and make sure to say, “Please!” Other Ways to Laugh & Learn Babies learn more when they feel at home.
