It's raining, it's pouring....

Well, not really!
But the kids at momstown milton did a few "rainy" crafts to encourage a rainy April so that we could have those beautiful May flowers!


We made the classic umbrellas with glitter, pom poms and pipe cleaners!





And we used cupcake holders and bingo dabbers to make a rainy picture!






We closed our morning circle time with the story of the Itsy Bitsy Spider and some fun dancing to "Singing in the Rain"!

If you didn't make it out, we missed you. Check out momstown milton for all of the other upcoming events!

A little Easter Egg Fun!

momstown milton hosted their very own Easter Egg Hunt at Rotary Park on March 31st! We could not have asked for a more beautiful day!

The kids donned their rabbit ears and hippety-hopped out to collect their eggs!
After the hunt, we all settled in to eat a bit of candy and playtime at the park!

momstown had a transportation adventure field trip this week! Off to the Halton County Radial Railway to explore trains, streetcars and buses! Does life get anymore exciting than a train ride? Fun was had by all our kids!

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

"Today was good.

Today was fun.

Tomorrow is another one!"

Dr Seuss

Story telling, arts & crafts & parachute fun were all part of our Dr Seuss Party.

HUGE thanks to our member Kristi for pitching in and putting her imagination and teaching skills to task in planning and prepping for this event to help fill the gap while Ann-Marie took a mini-maternity leave. Awesome involved members like Kristi really make momstown the fantastic community that it is.

Weekly Toddler/Preschooler Playgroup is a blast!

One of our most popular and consistent events is the weekly Wednesday momstown Toddler/Preschooler playgroup. Geared at similar aged kids it offers an excellent opportunity for both the energy driven monkeys to socialise and interact in a casual forum and for our mamas to meet up regularly and form lasting friendships.


Our moms rotate homes or visit places in Milton together and have great fun every Wednesday morning.

You're welcome to join in on the fun on Wednesdays (or anyday at our other great events!). Email info.milton@momstown.ca for any membership questions.

Waddle, waddle Penguins!

P is for Penguin! That was the name of our fun momstown event on Friday!

Almost everyone dressed in black and white to show off their penguin colours. While the babies chilled on our mats, the toddlers & preschoolers made some penguin pictures and collages.

Everyone was given a penguin "egg" to use for the penguin waddle race. Mamas with babes in arms demonstrated first how to walk and protect your egg! Laughably funny to watch and fun had by all!

Now, getting the toddlers & preschoolers to do this was darn right impossible, from the waddles with an egg to even just lining up together. So their "eggs" were mostly tossed and chased down the hall which at least exhausted them enough for circle time around the parachute.

We bounced the 'eggs' on the parachute, sang some penguin songs and finger plays to learn a bit more about how penguins slip & slide and their coats of black & white.

Thanks to all who came out and especially to our new members! We had several newbies out and it's great to see you jumping in and getting involved right off that bat. As we all know, you just need to jump in as soon as possible and then you see the great atmosphere our moms bring and you'll be inspired to come out more and more after that initial attendance.

If you're new and thinking about joining, contact info.milton@momstown.ca for more info on our 2 week trial membership.
