Tales for Tots: Story Time and Crafts for Preschoolers

Once a month, momstown Central Alberta partners with Scholastic Canada and Chapters Red Deer for our Tales for Tots program. This program is all about story time and crafts based on our monthly momstown curriculum theme.  This month our theme is Fall Festival.


We start our program with moms and kids listening to a story or two! 



The kids then got to work on their fall crafts! 
The children  coloured trees and leaves to glue on their pages. 
Some leaves still on their trees and others that have already fallen or were on their way down!


This was a great craft for all ages! 
We had children from the age of one year to kids who will start kindergarten next year!

We even had an impromptu small story time in the corner of the Chapters Red Deer kids section!


Here is the book that one lucky momstown Central Alberta Family won! 
It is a popular book, as Chapters was sold out when we were there!!

Let it Fall by Maryann



From our momstown book review "Let It Fall" by Maryann Cocca-Leffler, manages to capture all the wonder of fall in a short, rhyming book that is perfect to read aloud with toddlers and preschoolers. The book follows the fall adventures of one family as they visit a fair, take a hike to see the colours on the trees, and notice animals preparing for winter. The adorable illustrations that accompany the book are full of things to spot and count, as well as images such as a boy with his face covered in pie that are sure to make your little one laugh.
