Fun with snow at our Baby Sensory Exploration

We brought the outdoors in for our Baby Sensory Exploration this month.  This is a great way to have fun with snow without having to bundle our our little ones and face the wind chills.  We shovelled some snow into bins and brought them in.  We filled spray bottles with non-toxic paints and found some fun bath toys that we could use as scoops.

 

 

Our little ones used a lot of different senses exploring the snow.  They liked looking at all the different colours that spray paint created.

 

 

They learned about cause and effect.  They saw that when snow warms up, it begins to melt.

We used the bath toys to scoop up the snow and make "snow figures".

 But there favorite part had to be tasting the snow.  Taste is a very important aspect in our infants learning tools.  (No worries the paint is non-toxic and completely safe)

 

 

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!

Wordless Wednesday - Survival in the Woods

This Months Theme Is: My Body - Feb 2011

This months momstown Educational Curriculum Theme is My Body. We have planed many great physical activities for both moms and tots to get them out and about to establish a healthy lifestyle.

Did you know that obesity is becoming a major concern amongst our children and that 17% of children and adolescents are considered overweight and 9% are considered to be obese! (See the participaction website for more details)

Momstown Milton is proud to be a part of the solution. We realize that establishing a healthy lifestyle starts right from birth and that is why we offer an event calender packed with activities to keep everyone busy! This month we have arranged for demos from Monkeynastix, Kindermusik at Harmony Is and tumbling at The Dance Shoppe for our little ones. Our play dates include a Discovery walk, toddler bowling and infant swimming. Our mamas will be participating in spin classes at Premier Fitness and a Kettle Bell Physique Demo.

Eating right is another factor that needs to be considered to maintain a good balance. Did you know that people who skip breakfast can't make up for the missed nutrients later in the day! Kellogg's recognizes the importance of starting the day off right with a nutritious breakfast and will be sponsoring us with a complete cereal breakfast for our Luv Your Body Inside and Out event on Feb 11th. We will also be joined by Mum's Kitchen to sample her all natural baby food.

Our shake, rattle and roll classes, baby book club and crafty critters classes all reinforce the basics of science by focusing on the human anatomy thru songs, stories and crafts.
