Summer Literacy in Toronto: B is for Butterfly

Literacy all begins with the A-B-Cs and in momstown we strive to help moms introduce these magical letters early to their children via our Alphabet Play program.

Recently, momstown Toronto worked on the better 'B' and made B is for Butterfly. So many awesome words start with B.... Baby, Bubble, Blue, Bottle, Banana and Butterly. B is one of the first sounds that babies can make.

This summer, join us for our ongoing Alphabet Play programs (we get about 20 kids each time - so fun!) and keep literacy on the list as the weather heats up. To help keep reading, writing a priority, check out this fabulous post for 6 Fun Summer Literacy Ideas. You'll be inspired to make the library a very regular cooling station this summer!

As always, momstown offers a FREE membership trial so everyone has chance to try out a momstown membership and enjoy it first. At $45/year it's a steal for 10-20 programs a month all focused on early education and mama support.

How to bring the Farm home

Springtime is the perfect time to learn about the farm - so many new baby animals are born, new crops are sprouting and life cycles worth watching. Our momstown members and children love this theme and it's a popular one from birthday parties to nursery decor. To us, the farm is an overachieving educational theme!

Our momstown  curriculum  is June was all about the FARM. Such a wonderful theme to play with and one our kids get get into right away as babies by learning the Old Macdonald had a Farm song. Most toddlers can mimic animal sounds before they actual speak and as a result, there's a fascination in farm animals.

Love seeing little hands crafting away

Chirp! Quack! All at the farm!

momstown Toronto kids got singing, crafting and playing at their June Art & Play program along with the parachute fun of momstown!
