In this double-issue of Kids VT you'll find stories, recipes, craft projects and other information you can put to use during the holiday season. Once the snow flies, hit the slopes using practical tips from local parents on teaching your kids to ski. Or, come in from the cold and make a batch of carrot soup or craft some winter-inspired creations. The December-January issue also includes a feature on an award-winning Vermont program supporting foster-care adoptions. However you like to spend your winter days, we've got some ideas for you!
