Messy Fun! momstown Milton Babies Used All Five Senses Playing With Pudding Paint!

Our momstown Milton Baby Sensory Exploration program set a whole new record for messy fun this week at our Painting with Pudding events!  This was definitely a "strip down to the diaper" type of activity.  We are including photos from each of our Baby Sensory groups - Friday and Tuesday.  

This is a fun and simple sensory activity.  We added two drops of food colour to each pudding container, put a plastic tablecloth on the floor, and used flexible plastic cutting boards as canvases (though we fully expected that the "art" would not be restricted to the boards!).  

The babies LOVED getting messy with the pudding paint. At one of the events, the babies were lined up while the pudding was getting set up and it looked like they were starting a race to get to the paint.

 

 

Initially, the girls were more "dainty" and dabbed very neatly with their painting and the boys dove right in.  Before long, most were trying to swim in it!  The babies liked the texture of the pudding and squished it in their fingers and toes and a few babes enjoyed tasting it too!  

 

The babies enjoyed rubbing the paint on their legs and arms, and also enjoyed rubbing it onto their friends' backs.  They were very messy, but they had such a great time that no one seemed to mind!

After the painting, it was clean up time!  The fun continued as the babies had a blast washing up in the kitchen sink, splashing in the water and catching the stream of water flowing from the faucet.  

Today our babies used all five senses when exploring the colourful, tasty and squishy, slippery pudding paint. This is a great rainy day activity for little ones, as long as you are willing to clean up a bit of a mess!  Thanks to all the moms and babes for being very good sports and having so much fun with our Sensory activities this week!

Celebrating Spring at our momstown Milton Baby Sensory Groups!

Momstown Milton’s Baby Sensory program is always a big hit with moms and babies alike.  It is such a hit in fact that we have had to create two groups in order to accommodate everyone!  We have a group that meets every other Friday at  11:00am, and another that meets every other Tuesday at 2:30pm.  Though the locations differ, both groups explore the same sensory activities.   We’re excited to  have some photos from each event! This week the little ones had fun exploring a Spring themed sensory bin.   

The bright and beautiful sensory bin was filled with Springy things that our little explorers could touch, hear, taste, and see.  Green Easter grass; silky flowers; stuffed insect toys; colourful shaker eggs and plastic bugs provided fun and fascination.

The stuffed insects were a lot of fun for the babies.  These colourful little bugs have crinkly wings that make a nice rustling noise, jingly bells inside, and shaker beads.

Easter eggs recycled from our egg hunt were half filled with dried mung beans, rice, and dried kidney beans.  The eggs were taped closed to avoid choking hazards.  Babies love shakers!

Not surprisingly, the green Easter grass was the biggest hit.  The little ones loved shaking the grass, pulling it apart, and covering their faces with it. 

It is always such a thrill for a mom, watching her baby light up, laugh, and explore new things.  The Baby Sensory program is a wonderful chance to find new and simple ideas that bring a lot of joy and wonder to the day for our little ones.  This beautiful little bin of Springy things brought a lot of happiness to two groups of babies and mamas this past week.  

See you next time at Baby Sensory, when we will be getting wet, wet, wet with a fun water table!

momstown Milton moms and toddlers have fun with snow our Baby Sensory Program

The weather today in Milton was downright dreary, but that didn't stop our momstown moms, infants and toddlers from having great time together at the Baby Sensory Program. The drizzle outside made for some very wet snow, which turned out to be a lot of fun to play with!

We spread out a plastic tablecloth on the kitchen floor, found a bunch of cups, scoops, cookie cutters and bowls, shovelled some snow out of the back yard and voila, an easy and inexpensive way to entertain the kids. What a great way to have fun with the snow without having to bundle up!

 

 

Each baby had a bowl of snow to play with and they were free to choose from a variety of toys and tools.

 

 

The snow was great for making ice cold snow cookies!

 

 

The Snowy 500 was a hit! The little ones loved watching their cars run down the snowy track. No one seemed to mind the cold hands!

It was a nice, "chilled" afternoon for the moms. We enjoyed meeting one another and we all learned a new way to entertain our kids!

Looking forward to our next Baby Sensory group... you just never know what we'll be doing!

We would love to have you join us for our Baby Sensory Program. A fun way for kiddies to discover the world and moms to discover to use our imagination and everyday resources available!
