How to build a Sandcastle

Our little ones visited Indigo Milton yesterday for our Children's book club.The momstown themed curriculum was At the Beach this month so we focused on all that the beach has to offer. We started off with our craft which focused on how to build a sandcastle. The tots had a great time with this tactile experience and even our youngest members dove right in to give it a try.






After we finished constructing our castles, we assembled for circle time. We sang songs about creatures you would find in the ocean. A few of the favourites were Five Little Fishes in the Sea,Fish in the Sea and Five Little Shells.





We were then ready to read our feature book "The Sandcastle Contest". This is a classic tale from Robert Munsch and the kids absolutely adored it! If you've never read the book here is a summary of what it is all about. At the end of the program we were able to give away a copy of the book to our lucky winners Alexandra and Gabriella courtesy of Scholastic Canada!






Sign up now for next months Children's book club where will be focusing on Making Music!

Love is in the Air!







Valentine's Day came a little early this year for the toddler playgroup! Momstown Milton moms and kiddies gathered at Rocchina's house for a wonderful Valentine's themed playdate. Each child got to create their own Valentine's and mail it to their special someone. Then we all enjoyed double chocolate cupcakes! The icing on the little one's faces speaks for itself- they were delicious! Finally, we gathered around the living room to listen to a few good books. Everyone had a great time!
