Fall has definitely hit Alberta, and to celebrate momstown is having a fall festival all month long! We started off our fall festival with momstown’s flagship event Art & Play at The Toy Hutch by making apple print place mats with the kids. It was neat to see some of the different ways kids made them!
If you want to make them with your kids, here are the instructions.
1. Cut out a tree branch shape from brown construction paper and glue it to a piece of whitepaper.
2. Make leaves by fingerprinting with green paint.
3. Cut an apple in half (make sure to cut it lengthwise and not widthwise!). Dip it in red paint and print it on the paper.
4. Cut a piece of contact paper to double the size of the paper. When the paint is dry, place it on one end of the contact paper. Then fold contact paper over and seal.
5. Enjoy your place mat!
While we waited for the paint to dry, we sang some fall songs, played with the parachute, and got to bounce around in the fabulous indoor inflatable playground at The Toy Hutch! The kids really enjoyed singing the song “Scarecrow, Scarecrow.” We had a room full of dancing scarecrows!
Scarecrow, Scarecrow
Scarecrow, scarecrow turn around,
Scarecrow, scarecrow touch the ground.
Stand up tall and blink your eyes,
Raise your arms up to the sky.
Clap your hands and tap your knees
Turn around and stomp your feet.
Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your toes,
Scarecrow, scarecrow tap your nose.
Swing your arms so very slow,
Now real fast to scare the crows!
Touch your head; jump up and down,
Now sit down without a sound!
Art & Play is one of momstown's Pillar Programs! We have over 30 events every month for you get out of the house with the kids and connect with other moms! To join in on the fun register for a free 1 month trial at http://edmonton.momstown.ca/user/register
