Take time to stop and smell the Roses!

This months momstown theme is all about Flowers. Our Milton munchkins have had a wonderful time learning about the different types of flowers and singing new songs on how to get a garden to grow.

Planting Time - Tune "Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Dig, dig, dig the earth (make digging motion)
Then you plant your seeds (pretend to drop seeds)
A gentle rain (Flutter fingers down)
And bright sunshine (Circle arms above head)
Will help your flowers grow (Hold one arm parallel to ground and move other arm up behind it with fingers extended to represent a flower growing)

Flowers are a great sensory tool for all ages. The softness of the pedals for tactile stimulation, sniffing the flower for its scent to get a sense of its sweet fragrance, the taste of an edible flower such as a dandelion and the vivid array of colours that are displayed in a bouquet.








We hold our weekly Shake, Rattle and Roll class at Sharkey's Milton at 10:30am on Wednesday mornings. If you would like to join us or would like more details about momstown Milton please get in touch with Sam Kassam-Macfie.
