I posted this last year, but for our Our Timer’s it will fit with our toast theme perfectly!

Here’s a fun idea for breakfast or lunchtime. I would love to say I came up with it myself, but I stole it from the once-a-month-chance-I-have-to-watch-Rachael Ray.

Before toasting your bread, or before making your grilled cheese; take a tablespoon, or so, of milk and add your favorite food coloring. Use a paint brush to paint a design on the bread. Then toast it and seal in the design!

And of course while you wait, those of you that know it can sing the “Toast, Toast” song from class. This is requested in our house each time we have toast.

Reece has painted his toast several times and it turns out great!

In September, Kindermusik was named as the KC Parent Family Favorite Grand Prize Winner for Musical Instruction!

Thank you to any, and all, Musical Footsteps parents who voted!!

Now that the cold weather is settling in, you may be looking for something fun to do with your pre-schooler or school aged kiddo.

PBS has a fairly new show called “Sid, the Science Kid” that, obviously, deals with science experiments.  It’s been a hit in our house and they have some fun links on their website to correlate with the show’s themes.

This Saturday, July 12, I will be holding several Kindermusik demos at the Babies R Us in Overland Park, KS on 135th St.  This is a perfect chance to get a sneak peek at a Kindermusik classroom and the wonderful benefits it holds for you and your child.

Already a Kindermusik family?  This is a perfect opportunity for your friends to get a look at the fabulous way you spend 45 minutes each week!  Tell them to call the store today to reserve a spot in the demo.  Any referrals that lead to enrollments earn you tuition credits!

I will be leading demos at 10 and 11.  Call today to reserve your spot.

The success of our St. Jude Trike-a-Thon is in the Kansas City Star today including several pictures of our “trikers.”

Here’s the link to the on-line article, but it doesn’t have any of the pictures.

Thanks again for everyone who participated and helped us raise money for such a worthy cause!

Take a moment to watch this! These girls are incredible.

As I was leaving the studio tonight, I walked up the quiet stairs that had just held lots of little feet heading home after another fun-filled night in Kindermusik.  The glass door at the top of the stairs tends to fog up in this cold, cold weather.  And I’m sure you’ve all seen when glass doors fog up you can see every little mark that has been made on them.

So, as I get halfway up the stairs I look up and see at least 10 little hand prints about 2-3 feet off the ground.  It just struck me as this amazing moment where they pushed their way into the world armed with songs, dances, chants, and the love of their families.

Thank you for allowing me to work with your children each and every week.

Need somewhere to go during the cold weather??  Are your children missing Kindermusik class and all their favorite instruments?  Then you need to come to our Open Studio Play Times during January!!

This is a parent/child play time, so you will need to remain with your child and supervise your child at all times.  Feel free to bring a friend!

We will have the hula hoops, Gertie balls, musical instruments, puzzles, books, chalkboard wall and more.

The cost is $3 per child or $5 for multiple children in the same family (only 3 children per parent please).

Space is limited to 20 children per play time, so RSVP today to reserve your spot.
