Art & Play with Tropicana

This morning our momstown Oakville crew gathered together for our Art & Play program with a special treat. Tropicana provided us with orange juice to share and the opportunity to learn more about their Tree of Giving campaign.  For each orange picked through this online campaign, Tropicana will donate a glass of orange juice to the Breakfast for Learning program.  As an added bonus for participating, you are entered in a contest to win orange juice for a year!  Click here to participate!

Loving the orange juice!

We got very crafty this morning and not only made our firetruck craft (our theme for the month is Firetrucks) but we also had the kids paste an orange onto our own Tree of Giving in honour of the Tropicana campaign.

As mentioned above, the theme this month at momstown is all about fire trucks so the kids got a chance to learn all about shapes as they assembled their fire trucks using rectangles and circles.

While the kids were busy creating, the moms had a few minutes to chat so we talked about the Tropicana Tree of Giving.  Many of our moms had already been on line to pick an orange to support the program and were all in agreement about the importance of providing children with the opportunity for a nutritious start to their day.  Don't forget that you can pick an orange every day!

We ended off the morning with a parachute filled with fun songs to get the kids moving and dancing.
