January momstown Playgroup

In January we discovered "Winter Wonderland" at our weekly playgroups!


This week, our momstown Newmarket-Aurora children used glitter glue and waxed paper to create sparkly snowflakes.


We took them home and once they dried over night, they just peeled them off for so fun ornaments.


Caught you Becky and Elizabeth!  
I thought the CHILDREN were doing the craft!


I guess we ALL have Fun during craft time!
