Milton moms and tots enjoyed our momstown Nutella Buddies Event

You know it's going to be a good day when you're able to leave for an event still dressed in your PJ's and that's exactly what our momstown mamas commented as they arrived for our momstown Milton Teddy Bear PJ and Potluck Picnic sponsored by Nutella.

The spread of food was unbelievable - so much variety and choice that both moms and tots had to make their way to the potluck table several times to get a good sampling of all the delicious foods.

While we ate, we chatted about breakfast being the most important meal of the day and how the greatest challenge that moms face in the morning (according to the Canadian Breakfast Report funded by Nutella)  is finding the time to serve a complete and nutritious breakfast to the little ones in the busy bustle of the morning flurry. We shared tips on how to maximize on our limited time in the "am" by trying to prep lunches and lay out clothes the night before in the hopes that would allow for more quality time around the breakfast table every morning.

After our tummies were filled, we got busy with our infants creating adorable foot print bears while our toddlers / preschoolers worked on making their fuzzy wuzzy bear puppets.

 

 

In keeping with Teddy Bear theme we read "Bears on the Stairs" by Julia Jarman and Lynne Chapman. This was a cute story about how creative our little ones can get in order to delay going to bed. We then got everyone involved with our reading of "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. This interactive story had us swishing through tall grass, splashing through a cold river, squelching through thick oozy mud and tip toeing through a dark damp cave. What an adventure!

We ended off the event with our raffle draw. Congrats to Molly for winning the Nutella Knap sack prize pack, Jennifer for winning the Bear Cookie Bouquet from Cookie Munchsters and Amy for winning the GC from our very generous host Maribeth from Scribble n Splatter! No one went away empty handed. We all received swag bags that included our very own jar of Nutella to enjoy at home!
