Tales for Tots in January: Reading Superworm

Our momstown Mississauga moms recently braved the roads with their little ones after a wintery storm, to attend our Tales for Tots program at Whole Foods Square One, and they were not disappointed.  It was the perfect day to get out of the house for some crafting, story time and socializing. 
 
  
Keeping in line with January’s theme of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, the kids each crafted a name train!  They each made an engine and then added enough cars behind for each letter in their name.  The finishing touch to each picture was cotton ball smoke coming out of each engine stack. 
 
Once their masterpieces were complete, they all sat back to enjoy a reading of this month’s book, Superworm by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.  The story is about a friendly worm who is a superhero in his community, whether it be by rescuing a bug who has fallen in the well, or becoming a skipping rope to keep his friends entertained.  When he gets captured by a wicked Wizard Lizard, his friends decide they need to rescue him this time! 
 


Our moms loved the story and the kids loved the rescues and silly rhymes.  It was a huge hit across the board and like every month, Scholastic Canada provided a book for a draw so one family could take the book home!  Tales for Tots runs monthly and is a great way to promote literacy and build friendships with your little one.
