Twinkle Twinkle!

Our momstown Newmarket and Aurora moms enjoyed our "STAR" playgroup today!  
We made our Star's twinkle with glue and sparkles!  It was so easy!  Pre-cut a star shape out of construction paper.  I found these wonderful foam star shapes at the dollar store that worked well!   Cover star with glue.  Sprinkle sparkles on star or fill a paper plate with the sprinkles (less messy) and press the glue side into the sparkles...instant TWINKLE!

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

Baa Baa Black Sheep have you any wool?

Each month momstown Newmarket-Aurora follows our momstown educational curriculum. and this month our focus is on "Nursery Rhymes" and we combined it with a PJ day!

The Pajama Playgroup was a HIT! We also made sheep for our craft from the "Baa Baa Black Sheep Nursery Rhyme". What fluffy FUN!!! Do know how many nursery rhymes feature sheep? Baa Baa Black Sheep, Little Bo Peep, Mary Had a little Lamb and there's probably more!

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for my master,
One for my dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.


Our friends in momstown Oshawa-Port Perry also celebrated Nursery Rhymes with Baa Baa Black Sheep too - this is a fun theme to play with!

Can't wait until the next momstown playgroup when we will create music together. If you'd like to join in, please register here for your two week momstown Newmarket-Aurora trial - can't wait to see you!

More Music FUN!!!

Our momstown Newmarket and Aurora music playgroup is always entertaining!  We dance, sing songs and enjoy making our own music with our instruments! 


Our weekly craft is always popular with our gang!  Staying with our Music theme, we made pasta shakers and decorated them with stickers! The children had so much fun choosing their pasta shapes.  Each made a different noise.  I picked the smaller ones for my son...it is the quieter pasta!
Check out what momstown had planned for next week!  We may have a SURPRISE visit with Helen from Musikgarten...coming soon!!!

What was Brad thinking???

Our momstown mama's enjoyed watching this Season of The Bachelor.   
momstown Newmarket and Aurora gathered at Milestones to watch the Finale!
 
Milestones in Newmarket
We loved Emily, and so did Brad, but for some reason I did not see him choosing her.  I thought his relationship with Chantal was exciting and Emily was a bit...boring.  I am not surprised that the wedding was cancelled.  It didn't feel "right".  I wonder what the future hold for them???

Ashley (from Brad's season) is to be the next Bachelorette.  Her season will begin on May 23rd.  
Will you be watching???

Shenderey Gymnastics in Newmarket

Our lucky little momstown kids had FUN playing with all the equipment at Shenderey Gymnastics on our field trip there.


We would like to thank Alanna from Shenderey Gymnastics for hosting a wonderful private demo for our chapter. It was a terrific way to burn off some energy and bounce around (big naps in these kids future!)



I can't wait for our classes to begin in April!
