Montessori-Inspired At-Home Activities for momstown’s ‘Under The Sea’ Theme

April 23, 2015momstownFamily Life, Parenting, Preschooler, School Life, ToddlersNo commentsBack to school, Crafts, Curriculum, Editorial, Family, Literacy, Parenting, Preschool, Toddler

As a Montessori teacher, I have a passion for hands-on learning, and believe that every child benefits from Montessori-based activities which focus on learning through the senses. So, the reason for this article is to give moms an opportunity to learn about, and to do some Montessori-inspired activities at home with their preschoolers. The momstown theme for the month of May is ‘Under the Sea’. So, have fun with these sea-markable, themed, do-it-yourself activities – Montessori style!

Let’s face it. As a new mom, you feel overwhelmed. Your once peaceful world is now filled with anxiety, chaos, dirty diapers, feeding on demand, and the big one – sleepless nights. These sleepless nights take a wear and tear on our bodies (especially on our faces!) and are accompanied by suitcases ( a step up from ‘bags’) under the eyes. The old cliché still stands: We need our ‘beauty sleep’ to truly be at our best. This is why our momstown pass holders and new moms all over the Guelph area would not have wanted to miss the Walmart ‘ Every Little Step’ Sleep-themed Session!

Host a Kids’ Mini Pizza Party: Real and Alphabet-Play-Style

January 14, 2015momstownFamily Life, Parenting, Preschooler, School LifeNo commentsAlphabet Play, Back to school, Crafts, Curriculum, Family, Nutrition, Parenting, Playgroup, Preschool, Program pass

There might be no food that kids love more than pizza. But there is a way to make it a little more fun: Let each of your children make his own mini pizza. Momstown, in Guelph, hosted, what looked like, its’ very own pizza party during their Alphabet Play Program last week. The children learned about all of the alphabet sounds, while making a craft depicting a real pizza with pepperoni-type letters. This is a craft that parents can easily do at home, in order to teach letter sounds in a fun way, by making something that all children love. PIZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAA! The mere word makes my stomach growl and my mouth water! The facilitator was able to see which toppings were most popular (it looks like pepperoni won out!). This Alphabet Play reminded me of the fun we had at home hosting several of our kids’ homemade pizza parties. The idea of learning letter sounds with this pizza-type alphabet craft, plus, making a child’s own mini pizza would, I think, be a great way to celebrate a birthday or any celebration, or play-date activity. Read on to find out how you can host your very own Kids’ Mini-Pizza Party (both real and Alphabet Play style!).

Throughout the years, making gingerbread houses has been a long-standing and most popular family tradition in many homes during the Christmas season. But for those of us with toddlers, the act of making a gingerbread house can be a real
‘tear-jerker’, not only for the child, but also for the parent! However, there is good news! There is, indeed, an easier way, and, just in time for National Tree Awareness Week(Nov 29th -Dec.7th)! This do-it-yourself project is not only simple, it saves trees and the environment by using recycled milk cartons, and snack boxes! So…..save a tree and your sanity!!!
