Jungle Books, Safari Hats and More

momstown Milton's babies, tots and moms gathered at Lowville Park for our celebrated monthly book club. Everyone enjoyed listening to Jan Brett's The Umbrella and Marianne Berkes' Over in the Jungle: a Rainforest Rhyme.

Keeping with July's jungle theme, wee ones and their moms created fantastic safari hats and binoculars, using paper plates, bowls and toilet paper rolls.









What do you think of these?

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

In the Jungle


momstown Milton is heading to the Jungle. Join us for songs, fingerplay, circle time, and crafts. We're making rainsticks and binoculars.

Our jungle theme continues at our Baby/Tot Book Club! Snuggle up with your child and build their natural sense of rhythm while listening to Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyme, by Marianne Berkes.












Jan Brett's The Umbrella will further engage your child's imagination as they discover the wonderful world under a rainforest canopy.



Crafts, songs, chants and role-playing will bring these books to life and extend each child's literary experience.

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.
