Take time to stop and smell the Roses!

This months momstown theme is all about Flowers. Our Milton munchkins have had a wonderful time learning about the different types of flowers and singing new songs on how to get a garden to grow.

Planting Time - Tune "Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Dig, dig, dig the earth (make digging motion)
Then you plant your seeds (pretend to drop seeds)
A gentle rain (Flutter fingers down)
And bright sunshine (Circle arms above head)
Will help your flowers grow (Hold one arm parallel to ground and move other arm up behind it with fingers extended to represent a flower growing)

Flowers are a great sensory tool for all ages. The softness of the pedals for tactile stimulation, sniffing the flower for its scent to get a sense of its sweet fragrance, the taste of an edible flower such as a dandelion and the vivid array of colours that are displayed in a bouquet.








We hold our weekly Shake, Rattle and Roll class at Sharkey's Milton at 10:30am on Wednesday mornings. If you would like to join us or would like more details about momstown Milton please get in touch with Sam Kassam-Macfie.

momstown helps Milton get a makeover!

This morning was our Earth Day Event and to celebrate it, our momstown Milton moms and tots participated in the Milton Makeover Program that was held by the town.




We chose Rotory Park as our designated area to clean up since we hold a majority of our events there through out the summer months. It was a cold and windy day but that did not stop our clean up crew led by Mary-Anne Selwa from My Smart Hands from showing up!




Our little helpers were outfitted with gloves and garbage bags and once equipped, headed off eagerly in search of any trash that they could find. The kids made a game of it by running to the next piece and keeping track of who collected the most.



After all of their hard work, they enjoyed a snack and then headed over to the playground to reward themselves for a job well done. Thanx so much to everyone who participated in keeping our parks clean and green!



Our Earth day celebrations & efforts were not just limited to Milton. Check out our variety of momstown blogs to see how the momstown Earth Day movement is spreading throughout the communities!
