Momstown Milton- Tadpoles and Goldfish Halloween Playdate

It was a full house on Monday when momstown Milton Tadpoles and Goldfish playgroup celebrated their first Halloween at Sharkey's. There were 3 tigers, a skunk, 2 cows, a rabbit, and elephant and a turtle! The little ones looked great! Babies gummed a little treat while moms indulged in cupcakes, cookies and fruit. The babies then played amongst themselves while the moms enjoyed some adult conversation and discussed various topics ranging from sleepless nights, crawling and feeding. The costumes were adorable, now if we could only get them to all look at the camera!

Storytime and Starbucks

We began the morning at the Beaty Branch library for drop-in storytime and then walked through the neighborhood

momstown Milton moms say " Bring on the Heat!!"

Our trek ended with a Starbucks iced beverage for mama

... and snacks for the little ones

...while others enjoyed a nap :)

There's a Rumble in the Jungle

momstown Milton moms, tots and babies recently explored the sights and sounds of the jungle. Well, ok the sights and sounds of Lowville Park.

We added the jungle part.

Our adventure began with circle time songs

and a read-aloud.

Puppets enhanced our fingerplay

And the coloring... well, that's just plain fun!!

Soon it was time to get crafty. We filled paper towel rolls with seeds and then painted them with interesting designs to create rainsticks.

In the end, we meandered through the creek and scampered across the brush while impersonating the animals in the jungle.

momstown Milton hosts a themed event once a month, as well as several weekly events. Join us for a free two week trial, click here.

Tots + paint = a wonderful combination

momstown Milton along with momstown Burlington find Lowville Park to be the perfect location for creating, painting, hugging friends, and frolicking in the creek.

It begins with just a little paint, some paper and a variety of kitchen sponges.

Before we know it the babes, and tots create magnificent masterpieces that only a mother could love!!

Then it is off to the creek...

Join us in August for another Picasso's in the Park

Ostrich fun!

DID YOU KNOW?

• Ostrich can live up to 70 years (Wow that's a long time)



• Ostrich can run 70 kilometres an hour (40 mph) and maintain that speed for 15 minutes at a time (Could you imagine chasing after your toddler at that speed?)



• Ostrich have three pairs of eyelids, two toes and one toenail.
  

momstown Milton along with momstown Guelph learned these fun facts and more while touring White Rock Ostrich Farm in Rockwood.

Our day was perfect; the sun was shining, a slight breeze in the air and the ostriches were waiting at every turn of the tractor. With the help of our tour guide, we learned about the three types of breeder; the African Black, the Blue, and the Red, we fed the teenagers; who are only a year old, and looked in on the 3 week old babies in the nursery.

But wait that's not all...

Many of our momstown mamas feasted on ostrich burgers, Yummy! And our little ones enjoyed a delicious ice cream cone.

Next month momstown Milton is heading to Lowville Park for our Jungle Exploration, Brantford Twin Valley Zoo, and Kelso Beach. If you are interested in learning more about momstown Milton's events, playgroups, and more, contact us at info@momstown.ca or milton.momstown.ca

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

Creepy crawlies + a walk around Mill Pond + snacks in the gazebo = a fantastic momstown Milton Busytown playgroup.

momstown Milton explored the creatures behind rocks, crawling the trees and swimming in the Mill Pond. We began our trek at Rotary Park and ended in the gazebo overlooking the Mill Pond. Our wee ones brought along their jars, nets, and bug catchers in hopes of finding creepy crawlies (all creatures were returned to their homes afterwards).

We ended our walk through nature with snacks in the shade of the Mill Pond gazebo. Future Busytown playgroups include White Rock Ostrich Farm, Brantford Twin Valley Zoo, and Soccer at Bronte Meadows park.
