Fall Classes Begin With Free Trials and Giveaways!
It seems like summer shouldn’t be ending. I swam once (in the Clermont pool in Fort Greene- wonderful by the way), read only two pleasure books and ate only one hamburger. No baseball games, no paragliding, no trick boogey boarding and no BMX racing….I just watched the Olympics and stayed inside with my pregnant belly.
Meanwhile, all the instructors are gearing up for the fall classes and some are offering great deals and free trial classes. I am highlighting a few here. If you want to add your classes- feel free to do that at the bottom of this post under comments. Please don’t email me about them, just add them yourself.
Big City Moms is giving away 5 free tickets to their Little Maestros class at Kidville in Park Slope. In order to get a free ticket for you and your little one- email me what your favorite post has been on this blog (okay, a little selfish of me here, but I want to know what you all do/don’t like). First 5 emails get tickets.
I am going to the class too. I have heard a lot about Little Maestros and am dying to check it out with Birch. If you don’t win, the class is $20 in advance at $30 at the door. Hope to see and meet you there, either way…….
Here is the info on the class: "Little
Maestros, named NYC’s premiere infant and toddler music program by the
New York Times and NBC’s Today Show, is a music performance class where
music and friends are made. Each class features 4 live musicians who
sing and play guitar, piano and drums. Little
Maestros takes children on a fantastic musical journey each week. You
and your child will love our musical story times, songs of all kinds,
imaginative play, language development activities, puppet shows and
"bubble music". "Kidville, 808 Union Street, Brooklyn on Wednesday, September 10 at 3 pm. RSVP: events@bigcitymoms.com or 917-488-8542

Mimi’s Soup Spoon has lots of fun cooking classes this fall -
Applesauce and Cinnamon Pinwheels One-Day Cooking Class
Your kids might have eaten Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples before, but have they tried a Pink Lady, Mutsu or Winter Banana apples? We’ll taste lots of local apple varieties and prepare homemade applesauce along with cinnamon pinwheels made just for dipping. As always, they’ll be hands-on-cooking and story time and then we’ll package our applesauce in cute little jars to take home.
