Alphabet Play: The letter "U"

This was a tough one!  The first word that came to mind was umbrella, but I wanted to use the letter U in the craft, so we discovered "U" is for Uncle!

Our momstown Newmarket-Aurora mom Diane hosted for us again.

The children coloured the letter "U" along with eyebrows, eyes, a nose and a mustache too.

Then the cut out and glued all the pieces to make the face of their uncle!

They did a wonderful job, but you can always tell, who had some "mom" help!

Join us next week as we discover the letter "V"

Discovering Our Senses Together

This March's Art and Play program, had our momstown Newmarket-Aurora families discovering our senses together!

We gathered different materials, some hard, soft, rough and smooth and glued them on our craft paper.

The children felt how different all the items felt, and had fun gluing!

Next month we will discover "Baby Animals" together!

I hope you will join us!

Great times!!!

Share your Breakfast!  

It's the MOST Important Meal of the Day

Did you know 1 in 10 Canadian children (637,000) live in poverty and

Kellogg's believes that a better breakfast leads to a better day, where great things can happen.  Mom's also believe in the "power" of breakfast and together, we can spread the word and make a difference!

On March 8th, 2012, National Breakfast Day, Kellogg's held "Share Your Breakfast" events across Canada in an effort to promote awareness.

Our lucky momstown Newmarket-Aurora chapter, participated along with other momstown chapters and hosted awesome breakfast events in an effort to distributed hundreds of Kellogg's "Breakfast Kits" to local families.

Each kit, contained a box of cereal, a bowl, napkin and a spoon, everything you need to start your day with a good breakfast.

momstown Newmarket-Aurora and momstown Georgina joined forces yesterday and hosted our "Share Your Breakfast" event at The Funnery in Newmarket.

 

There were over 50 families who attended and enjoyed a Kellogg's cereal breakfast together.  

The Children enjoyed the FUN cereal craft and burned off some energy playing at the indoor playground.

Some children enjoyed eating the cereal over doing the craft.

Did you miss National Breakfast Day?

Don't worry, here is how you can still help! 

 

 

 

Look for the specially marked boxes of Kellogg's cereals.

For every participating box of Kellogg’s* cereal purchased, a donation will be made to Canada’s two largest breakfast charities, up to a maximum of $50,000.   

 

Take part in the Share Your Breakfast movement on National Breakfast Day and throughout the month of July and join us as we help hungry children shine.

Alphabet Play: The letter "S"

This week we discovered the letter "S" is for Stars and Shells!

Our lovely momstown Newmarket-Aurora mom, Diane hosted this week's Alphabet Play at her home in Newmarket.

We couldn't decide if "S" was for Stars or Shells, so we did both!

The children love gluing on the colourful shells and sticking on the stars too.

Next week we are looking at the letter "T" for Trains!!!

I hope you can join us!
