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.

Mother's Day in the Park

momstown Milton was busy in the park today prepping our special gifts for Mother's Day for grandmas, and maybe even for ourselves!

Our new Event Co-ordinator Kristi Budsworth did an awesome job of prepping a great morning for us all with our themed spring crafts, fun parachute time and storytime with Eric Carle's Does a Kangaroo have a Mother, too? Here's Kristi with her sweet Campbell - look for Kristi as the lead at many of momstown Milton events this summer!
Proud kids planted beautiful flowers for mom and decorated the pots.Psst - don't tell Lauren I took a picture of the flower she planted me as she hid it under her bed as a surprise! She thinks I had my eyes closed while helping her I guess...

Great idea for a flower bouquet here as well! Toilet paper roll glued to the back of the plate as the "vase", then the kids painted the plate, stuck Easter grass in the vase then made beautiful coffee filter flowers with pipe cleaner stems. Voila! Wall worthy art! Join us later this month for Baby Book Club when we explore the 'Under the Sea' theme!

Still curious about momstown membership? We hold 25+ events monthly for our Milton members and all at just a $45/year fee per family. Join now so you can enjoy the summer with us! Click here to register!

Razzle Dazzle Field Trip!

Our group took a trip south to Oakville to visit Dazzle Art and mixed and mingled with the momstown Oakville group.

Very cute play area complete with interactive sensory bins, art supplies and a great clean open space. Our monkeys all loved it!

Thanks Oakville Janet for also setting up the party room just for momstown with painted butterflies and foam doorhangers and for the home baked muffins and coffee!! yum!

First Baby Book Club is off to a great start with yummy carrots!

We kicked off our first baby book club of the summer with some songs and fingerplays. Our focus for the event was carrots.






Babies, toddlers and their mommies listened as Kristi read a The Carrot Seed (fiction) followed by The Lifecycle of a Carrot (nonfiction).





After more songs and fingerplays, the little ones took off their onesies and put their bodies into the art.

The toddlers enjoyed gluing tissue paper and painting with CARROTS.

That's correct no brushes at this event.
