You should play to child’s interests. If you get them started on a single project, it could click with them giving them a hobby for years to come. Try and get them to be creative, and stretch their limits. Most important of all, be encouraging. The child is a new artist, and so will be hesitant about their work. This is your chance to help their self esteem at early stages of a new craft. Joey Lewitin is an author, artist, and designer of unique stone furnishings and home décor.

If you do purchase outdoor shoes for your baby, make sure they fit properly. Their tiny toes should not be cramped. Also, make sure they are flexible enough that their feet can still wiggle in them. Mothers and pediatricians recommend soft soled shoes or booties.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure it's for best interest of your child. Don't make them wear shoes all time for sake of looking cute. Barefoot is best at home, and when they are outdoors, make sure they have a soft sole for most natural fit.
