To say that the momstown Milton group had fun would be quite the understatement. The high energy in the air was positively contagious. Sweet smiling arctic animals greeted the children as they made their way in.
Soon it was time to settle down and get crafty! The eager little art students worked diligently alongside their families to transform paper plates into polar bears. Their eyes focused and little hands at work, they put their hand/eye coordination skills to the test by pasting body parts on their polar bear, and used crayons to colour their creation as their imagination dictated.

Getting some snuggle time with their arctic friends!
The group then gathered together in a circle around the momstown Milton mama, Sam Kassam-Macfie, for an interactive story reading session. With her gift for bringing a story to life, the children were quite mesmerized and their delighted giggles filled the air.
Following the reading of the "The Very Hungry Bear", the children were given a very important assignment! They were now special arctic explorers searching for animals at risk of being extinct in the arctic (the stuffed animals were hid throughout the Indigo Milton and the children had to find them). By having the children take part in such a journey to save the animals; they were learning about extinction and the need to help the animals on our planet.
Their arctic expedition a success; they then gathered around in a circle again, for a sing-a-long! Voices were loud and clear and arms were waving happily in the air as they imagined and reenacted a penguin waddling across the arctic ice as they sang, "Did You Ever See A Penguin?"
A draw was held for the book and one very lucky little one
