Mississauga moms and babies create special memories at momstown

This morning we met for our weekly momstown Mississauga Baby Basics class. We hold it each Thursday at Taima Zone in Mississauga. Our moms and babies today created some special water bottle shakers.

Sensory development starts from birth. Babies can experience the five senses, smell, touch, sight, hearing and  taste just as soon as they are born. It's our job as parents to help them explore and develop their senses as they grow.

DIY Water bottle shakers at Baby Basics! 

Water bottle shakers are a great activity, for any age of baby right up to older kids.
For babies bright colours, things that sparkle and of course a few heavier items to make a rattle are perfect. The crinkle of the water bottles is also a proven favourite... try choosing small bottles like these to fit in those tiny hands.

Shaking it up! 

Our smallest baby's older sibling was more than happy to show him how to shake! To engage older kids ask them to name the colours of the items they are adding. Counting is also a fun way to develop numeracy and engage while crafting! This little man loved adding the buttons and pom poms and at just over 2 he already knows all his colours!  

 

Serious business adding Buttons! 

Adding a variety of items some that float and sink is a great way to introduce some science principles into this simple craft.
