momstown Oakville has a monthly Little Scientist program and in February we made our own Silly Putty! This activity was such a hit that I wanted to share the recipe as this would be a great March Break activity to do with your kids.
Silly Putty Recipe
Bowl #1
-1 cup of white Elmer’s glue (the 225ml bottle)
-3/4 cup warm water.
Mix well, then add some food colouring. About 8-9 drops should do it. If you want darker colours, you could use more.
If you and your family are planning on staying in town during March Break, be sure to check out all of these great activities and events! From swimming and skating at our wonderful community centres to tons of fun at Oakville Place and Whole Foods Market, as well as some exciting outdoor activities at Bronte Creek Provincial Park and Glen Eden Ski and Snowboard Centre.
Bronte Creek Provincial Park is holding their Maple Syrup Festival. From March 2 to April 1, enjoy guided tours of Maple Lane, freshly made maple candy, and pancakes with fresh maple syrup and sausages or bacon, wagon rides and much more. The event is open every weekend and all week during March Break from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. The cost is $16 per vehicle to access the park. Pancake meals are $3 for a small meal and $30 for a family platter. The Maple Syrup Festival is a fun and educational outing the entire family will love!
Bronte Creek Park Children’s Farm
Bronte Creek Provincial Park is located in Oakville Ontario and can be accessed from Burloak Drive, on the Burlington border, north of the QEW. The Park is a winter wonderland offering families the opportunity to spend a day/ days enjoying the outdoors, whether skating on its huge, Olympic sized outdoor rink, tobogganing on one of the best hills to be found in Halton, walking or skiing the extensive trail system or visiting the, always popular animals at the Children’s Farm and the Playbarn.
