Fall Fun!!

Fall is in full swing here in Central Alberta, but we haven't let that slow us down!  We celebrated the arrival of Fall earlier in the month with a Fall Craft Party & Playdate.

We started out with a craft - first we traced the kids hands on brown construction paper for the trunk.

 

Then, we glued the trunk to a blue background, added some green grass & some red, yellow & orange leaves...

 

And, voila!  A beautiful fall tree to take home and enjoy!

All this work was followed up with a snack.  They're supposed to be pumpkin faces made out of rice cakes, orange cream cheese & rasins.  Some were rather creative interpretations however...

We finished up with storytime

And playtime - with the ever popular Rubbermaid bins topping the list of favourite toys.

We have a craft party with a different theme each month - so join us now for a free trial membership!

Fun with musical learning!

momstown had fun last week exploring our options for fall programming with some Kindermusik demo classes courtesy of Kindermusik Korner.

It was amazing to watch the kids enjoy the different activities and movements - all based on music.  You could just see the little imaginations flourishing as we hammered, swam, flew & even washed the laundry!

You can check out all that Kindermusik Korner has to offer this fall on the Red Deer look n book under performing arts - child.  Join momstown Central Alberta for more fun activities all month long by signing up for your free trial membership!

Farewell to the Summer that Wasn't....

at do you get when you combine Picasso's in the Park with a Potluck Lunch?  Picasso's & Potluck of course!  We celebrated our final Picasso's of the "Summer that Wasn't" in Rotary Park and mother nature finally smiled on us with some beautiful weather!

After the kids were finished with their masterpieces they enjoyed some time in the playground followed by a great potluck lunch in the sun!

A great way to end the season - but fall is not going to slow us down one bit!  Check out our September calendar to see all that we're doing this month!

Teddy Bear Stuffing

momstown tots had a great time this week at Candy Kingdom & Friends in Sylvan Lake creating their very own new furry friends! 

First they got to pick out their new friends - and what a choice!  There were so many cute new friends to choose from, we had a hard time deciding!  Then we stuffed them, gave them a heart and made a wish.  And of course, chose a fabulous out fit to dress our new friend in and gave them fitting names.  We also did some colouring & craft time and had a snack.

Teddy the Dog & Ribbit the Frog are such cute new additions to our family - my boys love them, and they have become the new 'must have' stuffies at bed time.  Candy Kingdom & Friends is a great place to hold your little one's next birthday party - it's definitely on the top of my son's list!!

Sad you missed out on the fun?  Don't be - we're doing it again in a few weeks!  Sign up now - and if you're not a momstown member, you can register for a free trial membership and join us!
