A great day for shadow play!

 

 

 

With our monthly theme of birds we used our hands to try bird shadows.

 

 

 

 

 

We made dogs and people and everything in between.

 

And we talked about the science behind the making of a shadow too!

 

 

Then it was play time.

 

And even the littlest participants had a great time.

 

 

You can join in the fun to by checking out the calendar that momstown KW has to offer.

 

See you next week for Junior Chef.

 

 

 

Fox and Squirrel Join the Fun at Laugh and Learn: Tales for Tots in KW

Scholastic Canada donated a cute book, Fox and Squirrel to our Laugh and Learn: Tales for Tots program in September.

 

The book reads of a fox and squirrel who are great friends despite their differences.

 

 

 

After reading Fox and Squirrel, we made masks that represented the main characters in the book.

 

 

 

 

 

It takes half a paper plate painted either brown or orange to make the mask.

Then, cut out eye holes before using construction paper to make ears for either the fox or squirrel.

Finally, add teeth for the squirrel or whiskers for the fox and then your mask is ready for a straw fastened to the back.

 

 

The result is a super cute mask!

 

 

At the end of the day, we had play and social time and one lucky boy got to take the book home!

 

Join us next week at Laugh and Learn for Alphabet Play.

Yummy French Toast Meal at Junior Chef and momstowm KW

Junior Chef was so fun this month!

 

We made French Toast!

 

The kids had a great time getting in on the ooey gooey fun of breaking the eggs:

 

 

 And dipping the bread:



And of course, eating it!

 

 

We made French toast as a part of our monthly theme of birds.

 

Here is the logic:

 

*A chicken is a bird

 

 

*Chickens lay eggs

 

 

*Eggs can make French Toast

 

 

 

Pretty imaginative, I'd say!

 

Next week momstown Movers will be learning a colour activity in Make and Take.

 

Hope to see you there!
