Happy New Year from momstown Barrie!

most little ones, and some parents, won't make it to midnight to ring in the new year.  Every year with momstown we hold a Noon Years Eve party so the kids can ring in the new year with some fun a little early.

We had an amazing turn out and as usual there was lots of chaos but best of all lots of fun!

We rolled our Alphabet Crafts sponsored by Post Alpha-Bits into our celebration!  F is for Fireworks!

The kids got to make fireworks pictures that were super simple, kinda messy but totally fun!   a bit of glue, a piece of construction paper and lots of glitter and we had some awesome fireworks art!

A new year celebration would not be complete without some noise makers and our little ones got down and messy making paper plate shakers to make some noise with at noon!

These were lots of fun and the kids got shaking as we did our big countdown!

Some snacks and a freeze dance party filled our time as we waited for noon.   As the time rolled round, the kids and the moms were excited to count down to Noon Years with the kiddies!

It was a great day and lots of fun

Wishing you all safe and happy new year!

Alphabet fun with Post Alpha-Bits Cereal!

We have been having fun learning and crafting through our Alphabet Crafts for some time now.

This is a great way to teach kids their letters and their sounds and have fun through crafts.

Post Alpha-Bits Cereal is now a sponsor of these awesome events and yesterday we kicked off our Fall Alphabet Crafts through some fun with Post Alpha-Bits cereal and crafts!

 
 
Post Alpha-Bits has the great taste and alphabet delight that kids and moms

L-O-V-E. But Alpha-Bits cereal is more than fun and games. Post Alpha-Bits cereal provides a source of 9 essential nutrients plus is an excellent source of Iron and Thiamin.

It's always fun to see the kids getting crafty and learning at the same time.  Add in a food that is fun and nutritious and you have the means for a great morning of crafting!

Our little ones goes busy matching the letters from the cereal to their alphabet place mats.  It was pretty impressive to see so many of them recognizing their letters!

Along the way there were some snackers, which was bound to happen when you through something yummy at them and tell them to play with it!  Good thing we had some watchful moms, some of the younger ones wanted to eat the cereal right off the pages!

With a cereal snack and some fresh OJ in their bellies, the kiddies got into their next craft.  They were set on task to cut out objects from magazines that started with the letters A, B and C.

This was lots of fun as the little ones learned to use the scissors and this time match letters with sounds.

It was a fun morning of Alphabet Play thanks to Post Alpha-Bits Cereal!

K is for Kites!

K is for Key and Kangaroo, and King and Koala and Kites too!!

This week our momstown Alphabet Craft at Chapters in Barrie was based on the letter K. WIth the cool windy weather, I thought making a kite would be a good fit.

There were lots of kids ready to get down to making a craft and they had fun getting it done!

With lots of coloured tissue paper squares to choose from the kids got creative decorating their kite!

I never ceases to amaze me how much kids love glue. No matter what they are making, pouring on boat loads of glue seems to make them happy!

as no different with the kites, but once they added all their coloured tissue paper, you would never know!!

It was a great morning and so fun to see how much these little people can concentrate on a craft when they are having fun!
