momstown Supports The Telling Tales Festival at Westfeild Heritage Village

Mark the Date: Sunday, September 16th, 2012 for the Telling Tales Festival!

As you pass through the Westfield Heritage Village "Gates of Time", you will be delighted to discover a world that existed before the internet and video/computer games… Here life can be simple, and stories come alive! Storytellers will hold crowds spellbound in the Native Village.

Preschoolers especially will find a world of things to do in our Large Meadow: Musicians, puppet shows, “learning through play”, crafts and much more. Plan to visit the Telling Tales Giant Book Swap and Shop Tent, a place to bring your slightly worn children's books, donate them to literacy and, if you choose, purchase second hand titles for just loonies and toonies.

Find out more information here: www.TellingTales.org

PLUS! don't forget to like them on Facebook to participate in contests happening from now until the Festival

 

momstown Kitchener Waterloo Celebrates Easter with Eggsciting Hunts!

Its almost Easter time again so you can bet that momstown Kitchener-Waterloo have another Fantastic Eggsciting Easter Egg Hunt lined up!  It's our 3rd Annual Easter Egg Hunt and we never disappoint when it comes to the eggs, chicks and the easter bunny. 

I know this one isn't white with big floppy ears just yet but he will be soon! 

And we are lucky that we get to share this Easter with all kinds of these little Bunnies at Steckle Heritage Farm on April 6th. 

Its only weeks before they look like this guy.  For the month of April, our theme is Baby Animals and we are going to see all kinds of them! Cows, mini-horses, chickens, roosters, sheep and rabbits.  Aside from playing with all the little furry animals, we will be scouring the barn for lots & lots of coloured Easter Eggs, crafting up some furry bunnies & ducks, sipping some warm drinks and saying cheese for the photographer!

Although this event isn't open to the public, you can sign up for a 2 Week Free Trial with momstown Kitchener-Waterloo and see what all the fun is about!

Want to see how awesome our previous Easter Egg Hunts were?  Kids love EASTER!

In 2010, we took over (literally) the new Little Tot Spot with our Eggciting Easter Egg Hunt and in then 2011, we scattered all over Busy Bees Playground with our Easter Eggstravaganza!
