Indigo Milton was filled with the happy sound of
children and their families getting together for another fun-filled educational
session of momstown Milton’s French Tales for Tots - Contes pour les bouts d'choux sponsored by Scholastic Canada.
Sam Kassam-Macfie, owner of momston Milton, created a
colourful and eye-appealing craft display to whet the imaginations of the
little ones as they envisioned what their very own monkey puppet would look
like. In honour of the upcoming Father’s Day celebration, Scholastic Canada’s
choice of the book: Mais, papa! was just parfait!
Glue, stickers, Bingo markers, crayons and more – els petits enfants amazed us with their
creativity! Little sheets of construction paper were transformed into
ready-to-play monkeys; perfect for an interactive storytelling.
But wait! There’s always more with momstown Milton. Sam very
cleverly thought of creating extra special “Father’s Day” themed ties – the
children pasted the Father’s Day poem provided by Sam and decorated their ties with immense and enthusiastic pride. You could only imagine how thrilled they will be to present the ties to their daddies on Father’s Day.
Craft time over, the children gathered together in a circle
to listen to Madame Liz read the story. Throughout the reading of this
delightful tale, the children cackled with laughter at the hilarity of the
forgetful papa who during the little monkeys bedtime, forgot “les pyjamas” (pyjamas) and “les verres d’eau”
(glasses of water) and of course, how could papa forget the “le monstre dans le
placard” (monster in the closet)?
Following the story-time, the group sang some of their
favourite songs loudly and clearly en français:
To the tune of “Where is Thumkin?” the momstownMilton families sang, “Ou est la famille?”
(Where is the family?)
To the tune of “All Around the Mulberry Bush”;
we sang “Voici ma famille”
(Here’s the family)
Our sing-a-long complete, we drum-rolled enthusiastically as
Sam chose the winner for the Scholastic Canada book. Triumphant cheers resounded as
Hannah was declared the winner!
As we bid au revoir to our amis , we smiled happily thinking of the fun to come next month at our
We would love to have you join us for our momstown Milton events!
