Rhyme Rhythm & Read a Bookclub for Babies

momstown Mississauga families met for our Rhyme Rhythm and Read program at The Creative Kids Place in Mississauga.  

 

Our December bookclub for babies had a special guest attend via songs and stories as our group read Frosty the Snowman!  This classic tale was part of our storytime and then of course the kids sang the song in the Rhyming portion of the program.

 

Have you sung the song the whole way through? It's a challenge to remember all the lyrics - you can get so caught up in the Thumpity Thump Thump part!

 

 

 

 

This family was our lucky winner of the Scholastic Board Book. Each month Scholastic sponsors momstown literacy programs right across the country.  momstown chapters offer a full range of early education-based, whole child-focused programming that seeks to connect moms in our local communities.

 

Consider joining us with your baby and make the most of your maternity leave. We also welcome grandmas, daddies and other caregivers! Membership is only $45/year per family (for a limited time)!

Rhyme Rhythm & Read: Monthly Program and Bookclub for Babies!

momstown Mississauga mamas and their babies met yesterday for Rhyme, Rhythm and Read a monthly baby literacy program which is sponsored by +Scholastic Canada.   Our moms and babies meet weekly for our Baby Basics programming held at the Taima Zone. 

Rhyme Rhythm & Read is a fun part of our baby programming that is designed just for babies 0-12 months in age. It incorporates fan favourite songs like The Wheels on the Bus, with great action songs like Zoom Zoom Zoom, silly rhymes and parachute time in addition to our storytime. 

This month's +Scholastic Baby Selection is Kiss Kiss Goodnight by Kenn Nesbit. A great title about bedtime routines with beautiful illustrations of different animal families. One lucky mom and baby got to take home their own copy of the book! This little lady was already interested in reading it and immediately flipped it open for a look! 

Join us for Baby Basics - different programs are running every week! A yearly program pass is only $45 for a limited time! This includes access to all of our programs, our Mom's Night Out events, the online forums where you can get advice and support from other moms just like you.  In addition there are great member discounts, access to contests and more!
