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.

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!

Field Trip to see the Choo Choo's!!!


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.
