Since cold weather has settled in here in the Great White North, Madeline and mommy have had to give up their park time and find other things to keep them active and entertained... One of our MeetUp.com* groups (The Mother's Connection Group) has a playgroup for kids Madeline's age and under that meets every Tuesday. We've went to story time at Barnes & Noble, goofed around at the indoor play area inside the Mall, attended Tot-Time and the Rec. Center and today we went to this great place called KidCreate Art Studio. Here the kids listened to stories about art and got to create all kinds of neat projects - and all the mess stayed there!!!
They always start of with storytime,
then the kids wander around to different art stations..
Madeline made bubble art,
painted with powder, 
dyed a coffee filter, 
got all full of glitter, 
and made some very pretty designs with bubble wrap 
and roller brushes. 
When everyone was done creating we cleaned up 
and listened to one more story. What a great way to spend the morning!
*We've found that MeetUp.com is a great place to find other groups of families that are getting out and doing all sorts of fun things. All you have to do is put in your zip code and do a search for Family, Moms, Dads or Kids. We've met all kinds of new people and explored all kinds of new places we never even knew were right outside our door! Check it out if you're looking for something new for the family to do :-)
