Holiday Tip: Creative activities can help food allergic kids belong

If a child has food allergies, especially multiple food allergies, holidays can be a time of feeling left out.  Creativing activities that help these kids have fun and be social can take the sting out of the many dishes that might pass them by.  Here's one idea from guest blogger, Melani Potock, that is good for adults, too:

While the adults are preparing the food or perhaps at your house the day before, have a special party for the kids to decorate the table.  Older cousins can assist as the younger kiddos make the centerpiece, place cards, napkin rings or place mats.   This is a time to encourage each generation to get to know each other  a little bit better.  What wonderful conversation starters this will be when everyone sits down!
