Recap: Our Playdate with Prelude Music

PUBLISHED:

Our musical play date with Prelude Music of The Woodlands was so much fun! Last week, we hung out with a handful of our readers and their babies/tots/preschoolers, and I’m still smiling about the nice time we had.  If you don’t have an all-out music & movement party at your house at least once a week, you gotta check out the classes here! They’re rhythmic and fun and freeing – every bit of what I want each of my days to feel like! 
 
For our Musical Playdate, we started off in Prelude’s Montessori-inspired playroom. It’s laid back, unpretentious, and just the right size for little bodies to develop the skill of playing solo or with friends. The children played with books, blocks, musical instruments, dolls, puzzles, and other playthings while the moms chatted together and made new acquaintances.

Worried about separation anxiety and starting school?

PUBLISHED:

Are you worried about separation anxiety and starting school? Unlike some other schools, Paddington British School has a unique system which encourages parents to stay with their little ones giving them peace of mind while easing their child into their new environment. You never get a second chance to make their first impression of school a happy and positive experience. Going a step further, Paddington’s unique, one of a kind, child-appealing design was created with children in mind. Their storybook setting is nestled among three acres of trees and gardens in the heart of The Woodlands.

Free Workshops for Kids at Home Depot

PUBLISHED:
Your child can learn to build! On scheduled Saturdays each month, Home Depot offers FREE workshop for kids to work with Mom or Dad to build their own wooden masterpiece that they can complete in-store and then take home. Workshops are designed for kids ages 5-12, but all ages are welcome. I signed up my 11, 9, and 5 year olds for a recent project building a rocket ship pencil box, and it was a fun first experience. I was initially reluctant to bring the 11-year-old, thinking she'd be far too advanced, but I was wrong! Although most of the kids there seemed younger, I actually felt as though it was an appropriate, on-level independent project for her age, and even still I had to help her out a bit. And I had to help the two younger girls A LOT!
