Mix and Match: We Share Everything!

Our momstown educational topic for the month of February is Mixing and Matching. We had lots of fun with this theme in our Tots Science Lab, Connect the Tots and Tales for Tots events. Mixing and matching everything from colours, mits, and hearts.

We were also lucky to read a "mix and match" themed book at our Scholastic Canada sponsored Tales for Tots book club this month.  "We Share Everything!" by beloved Canadian author Robert Munsch, has recently been released in board book edition.  We Share Everything!" tells the story of two daycare kids who are finding sharing to be a challenge.

For a craft the kids made these adorable heart tree valentine's crafts (our event was around Valentines) and they mixed and matched the hearts.

Next month is all about My Senses. We'll be reading a fabulous book about Dinosaurs so be sure to come out! Check out the calendar for more details.

Are You A Horse?

November at momstown was the Wild West. I brought out my plaid shirts and did a lot of yee ha's! My daughter is now a pro at galloping like a horse too. At our Kids Book Club at Chapters Polo we read Are You a Horse? by Andy Rash courtesy of our partners Scholastic Canada.

Are You A Horse? is about a cowboy named Roy who got a saddle for his birthday. But he has no horse. So he's on the hunt to find a horse so he can enjoy the ride!  It was a funny book with a great twist at the end.

After we read our book, we had craft time of course! The kids gathered around and made sheriff badges. A simply craft for all age groups.

 And what's a visit to Chapter's without some playtime! Somebody might be getting that penguin for Christmas!!!

Join us in December as we read Porcupine in a Pine Tree written by Helene Becker.
