Kellogg's Share Your Breakfast!

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Our momstown mamas and children started their day off right with a bowl of Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal at the Kellogg's Share Your Breakfast event in support of National Breakfast Day.


This event was created to help promote the necessity of a healthy breakfast for all children.

In Canada, 1 in 10 children live in poverty, and are at risk of starting their day on an empty stomach. This event helps to raise awareness within the Halton community.
Momstown Milton hosted the event at Scribble N' Splatter, and all our moms and kids came out for some fun! This was a "pay it forward" event, and all moms were invited to take breakfast kits to pass along to friends and family within the community to help spread the word.


Our moms and kids came out for a great morning, of songs, crafts, and cereal - but also left with an important message. Creating awareness with Kellogg's Share Your Breakfast is the first step to ending hunger in your community and helping all children start the day off right!

Snow Crafts and New Member Meetup!

There is no snow on the ground in Oakville right now, but our kids had a great time pretending, and really enjoyed our snow themed crafts!

We decorated our "S" crafts with snow, snowflakes, and snowballs!





Our moms had a chance to catch up, and chat.


Just a few of our finished crafts!

momstown Oakville kids playgroup at Dazzle was a wild west time

momstown Oakville welcomed kids of all ages today at our Wild West playgroup! Dazzle Art is a great place for galloping around, burning out some steam, and taking part in lots of pretend play.

We had a sheriff star badge craft to go along with our Wild West theme this month - but I think a lot of these stars may end up on the Christmas tree instead!

One of our littlest crafters got right into the action.
momstown kids got creative and created 3D stars with the foam shapes!

Parachute time! Sherri - a momstown mama and circle time parties owner did her usual terrific job rounding up the kids, and came prepared with some Wild West tunes like Yankee Doodle to get everyone moving. We also experimented with bouncing balloons and ping pong balls off the parachute - the kids loved it!

Join us every month at Dazzle for our all-ages playgroup - today we had kids from 4 weeks old to age 5! Not a member yet? Register now for a free 2-week trial.

Wild West with momstown!

Our momstown theme this month was "Wild West" and we had a party to celebrate!
Our new member meet up was a busy place this month. We had lots of new faces, and some great new kids!



Our kids LOVED the Wild West craft. We made foot and arm print horses! They really had alot of fun tracing their feet and arms, and cutting it out. With a little glue and crayons, we had horses! To practice lacing skills we punched holes and used wool to make the horses mane.


We also read our scholastic book "Are You A Horse?" at this event which was a huge hit with moms and kids!

To learn how to make these horses, or for other great Wild West craft ideas check out momstown Arts & Crafts.
If you'd like to see what the fun is all about, sign up for a 2 week free trial and join us at our next new member meet up.

Playing Wild Music at the RBG

Looking for something different last week, I took my kids on a great little family field trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens and visited the new "Wild Music" exhibit.

Despite living so close to the RBG (it's only a quick 20 minute drive from Oakville) we had never been. I heard about the Wild Music exhibit from my baby's kindermusik teacher and then read all about how awesome the RBG was on the momstown message board.

Off we went to explore!
There were some very cool instruments to play with, animals (parrots, iguanas, turtles were visiting for March break), crafttime, storytime, interactive exhibits.... totally a place we need to plan a momstown Oakville field trip to soon!! (Kids under 5 are free - inexpensive bonus!!)


The instruments were fun to play and the interactive centre hosted handmade noise makers from remote parts of the world. We found giant African seed pods to shake, rain sticks made out of sugar cane and leather to roll, dried gourds filled with seeds to rattle and my personal "favourite" a bracelet with what looked like black mussel shells sewn on which made a fun clacking sound - then we found out they were really cow's toenail clippings, not shells (ewww!).

Once home, it inspired us to talk about making our own instruments like these simple shakers -- no toe nails needed, just rice!! We also dug out some great books on music and then had a little dance party with our shakers.

Good things come in 3's!
