Over in the Jungle...

Babies and Toddlers loved the interactive story told at our Baby Book Club in the Park this week! We read Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyme by Marianne Berkes.

Afterwards, the kids (with a little help from their mamas) made Lions from paper plates and rotini!

How cute are these simple crafts?!

And of course we always take time to play!

A beach - just around the corner!

You don't have to go to Florida or Prince Edward Island, or even make the trek to Muskoka, to find a beach the whole family can enjoy!

Our family recently spent a Sunday afternoon at Kelso beach, about 20 minutes drive from Oakville - and had a blast! It cost us just under $20 for a family of four (kids 4 and under are free so we had one freebie and one paying child).


The kids had a blast digging in the sand, the water was super warm and well patrolled by lifeguards. Lots of shallow area for little ones to splash around in and enough deeper area for those beginner swimmers.

You can bring whatever you want food-wise, and they also had concession stands open for ice cream and the usual beach fare.

Great people-watching too! Some families got really into it and brought bbqs, tents, etc. It seems that anything goes at the beach!

It was pretty busy on the weekend, but still not hard to find a place to settle in. Weekdays are probably less busy - keep in mind that daycamps use the beach, but apparently they keep to one side so there is still plenty of room for public use.

Check out Kelso and other great Halton Conservation area attractions for a fun family event this summer. momstown Oakville has lots of fun events going on as well - our new member meet-up and Baby Book Club is this week at Coronation Park - click here to sign up for a free trial and join us!

Crafty Kids Make Paper Bag Puppets

Looking for a simple but fun craft for your toddler?

This month's Crafty Kids Playgroup got together at The Little Gym to make paper bag froggie puppets!

First we painted our paper bags green...

...then carefully cut out and coloured some eyes, a tongue, and a pair of arms.




Then we glued the eyes, tongue, and arms to the bag....




And VOILA! A Paper Bag Froggie Puppet!



momstown Oakville's Crafty Kids Playgroup meets once a month. We create a variety of fun crafts that the kids can take home. There's snack time and play time afterwards for both mamas and kids!
