New Years Eve - Noon time celebration for Preschoolers

momstown Mississauga families had a great time at our "Noon" Countdown on New Years Eve. Hosted at The Fun Side this was our second annual Noon Years Eve Countdown.

The smaller kids enjoyed playing in the toddler room on the fantastic assortment of baby equipment. While the bigger children spent their time roaming through the 3 story play structure. The slides at the Fun Side are incredibly tall and fast and keep the adults and the kids coming back for more!

Our creative coordinator Kelly made some simple shakers for "ringing" in the New Year out of toilet paper rolls. With some cardstock, stickers and help from Mom and Dad there were some fancy party hats too!

Once Noon arrived there was a countdown and everyone enjoyed an apple juice toast! Thank you to our families for coming out to celebrate. Consider joining us in 2014 as we have a great year lined up at momstown Mississauga. Membership is still only $45 for the year (for a limited time) so get yours today and start having fun all month long with your family!

Family Spaghetti Dinner with Enriched Pasta from Barilla Pasta

momstown Mississauga families gathered for a spaghetti dinner at our June Junior Chef event held at the Fun Side. The dinner was sponsored by Barilla Pasta we tried their new Barilla Plus pasta.

The kids, parents and babies all unanimously enjoyed the pasta. It was gobbled up! You can see by the messy faces that this pasta was a hit with these kids!

  

 

 

Our recipe for the sauce was simple, simmer crushed tomatoes with parmesan cheese, Italian spices and garlic. We heated some of the meatballs in the sauce and saved some of the sauce for our veggie friends.

This pasta is great for vegetarians as it is enriched with high quality proteins and added fibre. Barilla Plus pasta provides 27%  more protein than traditional  pasta. You would never know that this product is healthy because it's just as tasty as traditional pasta with no difference in texture or taste.


It’s a quick and easy solution for providing a delicious balanced meal that even the pickiest eaters in your family will enjoy. Barilla PLUS is available in four different varieties including Penne, Rotini, Spaghetti and Spaghettini.

  

After our dinner was done we enjoyed some fun pasta crafts. Many necklaces, bracelets, and even rings were designed and strung on yarn.
