Crafty Kids Playgroup & New Member Meetup

Our momstown event today was all about the zoo! The toys, the book, the craft, and the kids LOVED it! We had a great time playing with all the little people. For many of the kids, this was their first chance to try out the Little People Zoo Talkers. It was a hit all around! I think a few kids went home to start their christmas lists!

To go along with our momstown education curriculum, our craft had a zoo animal theme. We made monkeys and snakes. The kids had a great time colouring, cutting, and working with pipe cleaners to create their animals. The part that i loved the most about this craft was that it could be adapted to suit a wide age range. With a little help from mom even the youngest kids were creating.



A little more playtime, snack, and a story, our morning was complete. We featured "The Underpants Zoo" as our Scholastic book at this event.

Some finished products that were created, these are the snakes. For detailed instructions on how you can make these at home, check out our momstown art & crafts blog.

The monkeys are also in the momstown art & crafts blog, with the template to print. This was a great example of how 1 craft can be adapted to suit a wide age range. A 2 year old made the monkey on the left. Mom did the cutting, and she did the coloring. She was able to help with attaching the arms and legs. A 5 year old did the other monkey. She was able to do this alone. She cut the monkey, and chose a template without a face, so that she could add her own expression. This allowed for a little more creativity.
