Ballet with Barbie™ to Celebrate Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes DVD!

momstown Mississauga families and kids danced the afternoon away at Performers Dance Studio in South Mississauga on Sunday in celebration of the new Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes DVD. momstown held ballet themed events all across Canada this month with our little ballerinas and ballerinos!

Our Event agenda included two dance demonstrations, a crown craft for our princes and princesses, sparkly wand crafts, Barbie™ colouring sheets, playing with Barbie™ dolls in the dollhouse, and snacks - pink cupcakes & veggies!

4 & 5 yr old dancers!

momstown families were lucky to have the lovely Miss Jessica for a Ballet teacher from Performers Dance Studio running the dance demonstrations. This Ballerina had the 4 and 5 yr olds dancing and spinning around the studio to some of the same popular music that was featured in the Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes DVD.

2 & 3 yr old dancers with their parents!

 

 

 

The younger crowd (our 2 and 3yr olds) had their parents join in to dance and get silly having fun with their first experience in a dance class! Some of our moms were actually pretty talented!

The afternoon was capped off with a raffle draw – for our fabulous new Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes DVD! The lucky winners were thrilled with the prize.

 

We also had a generous donation of a fireman dress up set from our neighbourhood costume shop Fee Fi Fo Fun Costume Shoppe .

Books for Babies in Mississauga

Last month momstown Mississauga mamas gathered for a special Baby Book club at our Baby Basics group. Scholastic Canada provides the book for this monthly event for moms and babies aged 0-12months.

Our lucky winning family!

momstown Mississauga meets weekly at the Taima Zone in West Mississauga for our Baby basics group. Monthly we hold our Books for Babies event where we read stories mixed with rhymes, finger plays, sing some silly songs and of course it wouldn't be a great circle time without getting out the parachute! 

Reading aloud to your baby is a fantastic bonding time that stimulates your child at the same time. Benefits of reading to your baby:

• teach your baby about communication
• introduce ideas such as stories, numbers, letters, colors, and shapes in a fun way
• build listening, memory, and vocabulary skills
• bonding time for you and your baby
• help to build routines that provide your baby with security in their daily lives

At momstown we meet 20+ times monthly for fun and educational events such as this. Join us for a month long trial membership, or buy your membership here.  At only $45/year per family it is a fantastic value. What are you doing this week with your baby?

 

momstown Mississauga's Baby Basics Toy Testing Experience sponsored by Fisher Price

momstown Mississauga moms gathered for an extra special Spring Baby Party as part of our Baby Basics program this week. Our moms and babies got to test toys (as well as a baby swing) from Fisher Price and at the end of the exciting morning we raffled the toys off!  That’s right 4 lucky moms got to take the toys home with them!  
 

Our babies testing out the toys!

 Fisher Price knows the importance of Play! These toys provide children with Cognitive, Physical, Social and Emotional development opportunities through play. Events such as these showcase that momstown is different than a regular moms group! We offer so much more to our members! 

The event was generously hosted by the TaimaZone in West Mississauga. We meet there weekly with our babies, to discuss parenting, hear from local industry experts, make Baby Picassos art projects, our baby-storytime program and more!

Book club for Kids in Mississauga this February

Last month momstown Mississauga met at the FUN SIDE for two great programs at once! We hosted our Tales for Tots program and our Alphabet Play program together. 

The book selection at this month's Tales for Tots was,  The Very Hungry Bear by Nick Bland. A Polar bear book fit our theme for February perfectly as we were talking about polar animals all month long. The kids enjoyed the easy funny style of the writing as well as the colourful pictures - great addition to any children's library! 

Our Happy Winning Family! 

This book club for kids is a monthly program we offer at momstown Mississauga. It is sponsored by Scholastic Canada who provides the books.  We do a circle time, read some stories and follow it off with a fun craft. 

How do you set aside time in your busy schedule to connect with your kids? It is never too early to start reading with your kids. Make it a routine - whether it's right before the breakfast, or right before bed, set aside a special time every day. 

At momstown Mississauga one of our 6 program pillars is literacy!
