Get on Board with Ms. Peanut Butter at Learning Express
What: Ms. Peanut Butter and Elmo and Dora
When: Thursday, Aug. 13th 11 am and Sunday, Aug. 16th 11 am
Where: Learning Express Toys of Sunrise
How Much: Free
Learning Express Toys of Sunrise is a treasure box of family-friendly fun. The owners of this place have the right idea. This toy store has great activities on an almost-weekly basis. For example, this Thursday, Ms. Peanut Butter will be there at 11 am. Ms. Peanut Butter is an engaging and energetic children's entertainer who puts on a charming little show with her buddy Jelly, the Monkey, where kids play, dance, listen, and enjoy some bubbles. I participated in her free, weekly Mommy and Me class at Baby Love in Tamarac, and I image she does something similar at Learning Express. K warmed up to Ms. Peanut Butter very quickly. She was delighted during the performance.
Remember, Ms. Julie will be there on Saturday at 11 am. And on Sunday at 11 am, Elmo and Dora will be coming by. There is no doubt in my mind that they are a big hit with the kids.
The toy store offers a great selection for all ages. My husband and I like to take K on lazy, Sunday afternoons when there isn't much to do and just walk around and explore the aisles of books, favors, little cars, dolls, knickknacks, games, etc. The other day I saw the Twilight Turtle Constellation Nightlight and I think I'm going to buy it for K. The staff at the store is always welcoming and friendly.
Part of the charm of every toy store is the nostalgia it conjures of our own childhood. They are innocent, playful places. The little girl in me is drawn to oodles of toys and games. And the mom in me gladdens at the sight of K's smiling baby face as she participates in the activities they offer.

Mr. Blue's Water Safety Puppet Show
What: Puppet Show
Who: 1 to 7 year-olds (my opinion)
When: Saturday, Aug. 15th, 11 am (for additional dates see below)
Where: Learning Express Toys of Sunrise (for additional locations see below)
How Much: Free
My good friend and I took our fidgety 10 month-olds to a puppet show this weekend at the Learning Express Toys of Coral Springs. The store itself is worth checking out. The staff is so friendly and the store has an incredible selection of toys for all ages. The show was all about Mr. Blue, a fish who forgets how to swim. His friends teach him water safety lessons as they get him back in the water. K watched was enthralled from beginning to end. She did not move. The puppets were a hit with the audience. The audience members varied in age from baby to about 6 or 7 year-olds. The creator is Julie, a private swimming instructor who will have your little one swimming in less than a week. She travels all over Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Julie is likable, honest, and passionate about water safety, swimming, and kids. My friend and I purchased the story book about about Mr. Blue, which also comes with a DVD. A meaningful moment for me was when (after the show) a father told a personal story of how he had put swimming lessons on the back burner and later got a phone call about his daughter being in the hospital after an incident when she almost drowned. His daughter is now happily swimming after lessons with Miss Julie. When you live on a peninsula, swimming lessons aren't just fun, they can be a real life saver. Here are some other upcoming shows:

Wee Wiggle and Sing
What: Music and Movement Classes
Who: 2 to 5 years old
Where: Davie, Plantation, Sunrise, and Hollywood
How Much: About $88 for 8 weeks
I haven’t met Lisa, but after a long phone conversation and some email correspondence, I‘ve decided I already like her. Lisa is a music and movement teacher with some impressive credentials. She has been teaching for over 20 years and she is the owner and director of Wee Wiggle and Sing: Broward Music and Movement Classes. Starting this fall, she will be teaching classes in Davie, Plantation, Sunrise, and Hollywood. Registration begins in August. Her fee is about $88 for 8 weeks. I have been looking around for music lessons for K. and this is the best price I have come across so far. But beyond price, what I like about Lisa is that she has an obvious passion for teaching music to young children. For example, I found this declaration on her website, “I am strongly committed to my endeavor to teach effectively and use the best possible resources at my disposal. I am an advocate of classical music and art appreciation and dedicated to promoting its value in education”. Her mission is to provide quality music lessons at reasonable prices with no hidden fees and no pressure to buy extra materials. She believes a mom can find musical instruments throughout the house, like pots, pans, and wooden spoons. She’ll teach you how to make shakers so you don’t have to go out and buy them. It seems to me that not only the little ones, but also the parents, will get some valuable lessons on being resourceful and creative in this class.
