We see giraffes....

September is ZOO month here at momstown.

The weather has been gorgeous so far this month and is was a perfect day for Art in the Park to make crafts!

In keeping with our zoo theme we decided to make some fun and easy animal crafts. We chose

hand print Giraffes

!


They were super cute and the kids had a blast getting messy as they made their hand prints in bright yellow paint.

Once the paint was dried, we added their finger prints in brown. These made the giraffes spots.


The kids were able to see now how their tiny little hands formed the shape of a giraffe!

This was a super easy craft and super cute too!!!


As always, art in the park leads to some play time at the park. The kids had a blast burning off some energy in the park while the mamas had a chance to chat.

Before we knew it was lunch time! Some of the mamas headed out to Boston Pizza in Barrie for a nice lunch with the kids!

It certainly was a perfect day all around

Portholes at the Beach!

It was a windy day, but the sun was shining as the momstown mamas headed to the beach to do some art!

Following our theme this month, we made an ocean themed craft, portholes!

The kids had a chance to get messy with some finger painting!

They painted an ocean on some paper plates. The blue paint was super messy and the kids were all very blue!

Once our little smurfs were done the finger painting and they oceans had a chance to dry, they glued on their little fishies.

The portholes were complete and the kiddies loved them! They were super cute and although the kids and some of us moms were a little blue, it was a great craft for a windy morning on the beach!

It was such a great day that many of the moms lingered around as the kids played at the park, headed to the beach and just ran around in the sun.

Days like this remind me of how awesome summer is and how awesome momstown is!!!

I hope all of our moms remember to VOTE for momstown in the Savvymom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year!!!

Sunshine, Hooray!!

The month of May was full of sunshine and warm weather! It was a great preview into what we are all looking forward to...SUMMER!

Momstown spent the month of May enjoying the nice weather with walks by the lake and trips to the park!

We had lots of new moms and their tots join us and hope that many more will find the time to explore momstown and all that we have to offer!

Rain, Rain, Go Away.... The children want to play!!

So the kids have had a taste of the summery weather, warm and sunny with lots of outside playing.... but now the rain has come, and looks like its' here for a few days.

Oh how fast the cabin fever sets in for moms as we try to occupy a 2 year old who just wants to play outside...who really wants the rain to stop more, mom or child?

Momstown is usually a saving grace for the "what should we do to today?" dilemma... but alas, today's finger painting at the park was postponed because of the rain... Let's pray the rain holds on for Friday so we can still enjoy our Parachute Play and Picnic at that Park!!!

Momstown has a load of fun stuff next week, (can you believe it's going to be JUNE already?!?) so hopefully the rain will have had enough this week and the weather will be gorgeous for all the outdoor activities to come! Next brings picnics, park play and the ZOO

With June approaching so does our Spring Fling Family BBQ! June 13th at Eden Crest Farms. We have a great day planned and have requested good weather!

So as the rain falls, and my daughter dances with the Wiggles, I plan for what to do next and look forward to the weather being nice once again....
