momstown Oakville Mom And Baby Event - Fisher Price Baby Basics!

momstown Oakville moms and babies packed the community room at the Oakville Soccer Club today for our special Baby Basics event sponsored by Fisher Price.  Fisher Price has toys suitable for each stage of a baby’s development from sensory toys to thinking and problem solving toys.  Fisher Price recognizes the important of play in a child’s development and creates fun toys that will entertain and stimulate little minds. momstown Oakville was lucky enough to have four wonderful  Fisher Price toys for babies to play with then raffle off to the 30+ moms in attendance.

We gave the babies lots of time to explore and play with the four toys we were going to give away and then broke out the paint to do some footprint flowers and the moms chatted while enjoying a few snacks.  The parachute also came out for a little bit and our babies loved sitting underneath or lying on top of it, looking at all the bright colours.


Then it came time to draw the four lucky winners who would take home the Fisher Price toys!  While only four lucky babies got to take home the toys, all the babies in attendance had fun checking out the different items.  Thank you Fisher Price!

Just curious, and this is just sparked by a conversation friends and my wife had around the role of men in today's society - if a man wanted to join Momstown Oakville - what would happen? Possibly you already have dads in your group, that were looking for a place to take their children and meet with other parents. Do you feel that by being called Momstown, instead of Parentstown, would cause a dad to feel unwelcome? I would like to start a dialogue about how stay at home dads find the kind of support that stay at home moms have had for years.

Dads are welcome. We have all kinds of caregivers that bring children to our events - Dads, grandparents, aunts/uncles, nannies, etc. We have weekend events which are for all parents and also have a few events that are just for Dads so they can connect as well.
