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!

Fun on the Farm!!

What a great day we had out at The Jungle Farm on Tuesday!  The weather was perfect and the kids had a ton of fun spending the morning on the farm!

We started off the day playing on some of the farm's unique wooden play structures - the kids had a great time pretending to sail the 7 seas & go on an adventure by rail!  There was also a tricycle track for racing with each other.  The farm cats even came out for a visit!

We were then taken by hay ride to the 'other side' where there was a world of fun to explore!

 
A corn maze (some of the moms spent quite a bit of time in there!), a hay bale maze, a ball pit, jumping balls, farm animals and more play structures!  Cheryl from C.L. Photography was set up here to take some great fall themed pictures of our little ones - she did a wonderful job, and was so quick that the kids didn't even have time to complain about being pulled away from the fun for picture time!  We can't wait to see the finished product!

We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sun, just on time to be picked back up by Leona and her big red tractor and taken out to the Pumpkin Patch to pick our very own mini pumpkins to take home with us!

What a treat to pick our own pumpkins right off of the vine!  My little one was quite intrigued by these little round gourds!

We had a great day on the farm & look forward to returning next year!  If you're looking for a great place for family fun this fall - The Jungle Farm definitely fits the bill!  They're open until Thanksgiving on the weekends.

This is just one of the many fun things we've been up to lately at momstown Central Alberta!  Don't miss out on any of the things to come!  Join us now for a 2 week free trial membership.

A Trip to the Farm

We took a trip to the farm this week at Sunnybrook Farm Museum in Red Deer.  Despite the rain, we had a great time checking out the farm and learning all about the machinery and the animals.  We started off by milking a cow.

Spent some time with the animals

Played on the big old tractors while we hid from the rain

 

 And went for a wagon ride

 

It was a great day at the farm!  Join us later this month when we hit the Pumpkin Patch at The Jungle Farm for a day of fun and great pictures of the kids courtesy of CL Photography.
