How to make a homemade Mailbox

Mailtime! If your kids love to receive mail, they will love this craft!

momstown Oakville moms met at Coronation Park with empty boxes and toddlers in hand. We let the kids go at it with paint, stickers and decorations until they were satisfied with their creations.

Bonus: this craft continues when you get home, now you have to create mail!

Flowers and Dancing in Oakville!

The kids had a ball at StudioTime this week. This time, Michelle, a fabulous and engaging dance instructor (and incredibly energetic, had to have three espresso shots to keep up:) kept the kids dancing and laughing and finished off with a some parachute games.

momstown Oakville does this party with a slight variation on the theme every month. It's a great opportunity to do something a little different and tucker your little one out at the same time. Plus, if you can manage it, there's an amazing shoe sale right now across the street!

Glitter Alert!

momstown Oakville had a blast at "What a Mess!" art centre. It's truly wonderful to not have to chase your toddler around with a dustbuster! All the mess stays there, all except for the glitter which has found its way home and is now mingling with the dust bunnies (sigh).

Join us every month for this field trip, momstown members receive $1 dollar off the art fee. Happy crafting!!
