momstown Discovery Field Trip to Miniature World

momstown Victoria moms and kids had enormous fun on our Discovery Field Trip to Miniature World! This classic Victoria attraction is nicknamed "The Greatest Little Show on Earth," and kids, adults, locals and tourists alike have enjoyed seeing and returning to the Miniature World exhibit for over 40 years. 

 Our moms and kids were immediately greeted by the friendly staff, and then we entered a miniaturized world in which our little ones felt like giants! There were over 85 imaginative and historical dioramas to explore, and many buttons for our toddlers to push that moved trains or spun propellers. It took about 45 minutes to an hour to do a self-guided tour through the exhibit, and there still seemed much more left to read and discover for next time. 


Join us at next month's Discovery Field Trip to East Sooke Regional Park at Aylward Farm! We'll be exploring tide pools and doing a dinosaur dig in the sand. A 1-year membership with momstown.ca is only $45/year and includes all of our monthly programs and events, plus a BONUS 1-year subscription to Today's Parent Magazine! Register for your 4-week trial membership today!

"Let It Shine" at momstown Victoria Scholastic sponsored Tales for Tots

momstown Victoria moms and kids enjoyed the book "Let It Shine," by Maryann Cocca-Leffler, at this month's Scholastic sponsored Tales for Tots at Chapters Victoria! Bring on the summer with this joyfully illustrated soft-cover book, which follows the adventures of a group of children and their parents as they enjoy their summer vacation! 

Our momstown curriculum theme this month is the desert, so we chose a cactus-making craft that is easy and fun for all ages! Simply take green clay or fun dough and shape it into a cactus. Next, break uncooked spaghetti pasta into short pieces, and stick them into your cactus to make it spiny. And voilà, instant cactus! We also used sandpaper as the base of our craft, and the kids loved to feel its rough texture!

 

















Next month's Scholastic sponsored Tales for Tots is on Wednesday, August 21st, from 10-11 am at Chapters Victoria! Buy a coffee upstairs at Starbucks and then enjoy a free story time, craft and book prize draw while you connect with other great moms in the children's area. Congratulations to this month's lucky winners!


 For a limited time only, our low membership fee of $45/year comes with an added bonus 1-year subscription to Today's Parent magazine! momstown coordinates over 20 monthly events in order to support and connect moms LIKE YOU! So what are you waiting for??? Join momstown today!!!

Tie-Dyeing with Tropicana Tropics at Picassos in the Park

momstown Victoria hosted a fun and free Picassos in the Park event with Tropicana Tropics  juice at Centennial Park in Langford! Victoria moms, dads and kids tried all four Tropics varieties, which are made with 100% juice and puree blends and contain no added sugar. The parents were happy that each 250 ml cup of Tropics juice provided two full servings of fruit, and the kids were happy that they could sample as much juice as they pleased! And we all loved the exotic flavours and refreshing drinks on a hot summer's day.


After hydrating themselves at the juice station, the moms, dads and our little Picasso's then got busy creating their own uniquely designed clothing by tie-dyeing! They learned some basic tie-dyeing tips and techniques, but there is really no wrong way to tie-dye! Tie-dyeing is a fun and easy craft to do with kids, and the kids are so proud to wear their art all summer long.


If you tie-dyed something at the event, we would love to see the results! Send us a picture or post it on facebook and tag "momstown Victoria!" The first 3 people to send or post pictures will receive a free coupon for a Tropicana juice! 


After the craft, the kids enjoyed the great playground and splash pad at the newly upgraded Centennial Park in the City of Langford. Thank you Tropicana for getting the juices and creative juices flowing at our Tropics-inspired Picassos in the Park event for Victoria moms, dads and kids! You can find out more info about Tropics juice blends on the Tropicana website. 

Would you like to create a tropical paradise in your own home? Enter now to win a Tropicana Tropics Prize Pack worth $350!
