The Little Paper

On Sunday, June 27th, from 2-5pm, Sorauren Park will come alive with song, dance, stories and more. 

Brought to you by the totsquad (and lots of volunteer moms and dads), totstock is a vibrant, noisy, whimsical celebration of family and community.

There will be live music, children’s games and activities, story-telling & puppet shows, great food & a rollicking good time all in support of the Wabash Building Society in particular & the common good in general.

Please consider bringing:

• Your child's bike or trike for the bicycle parade
• A sunhat and a reusable bottle or mug
• A pocketful of toonies (this is a fundraiser after all)

Activities

Totstock Activities are decidedly lo-tech and meant to be enjoyed by the whole family. We're firm in our belief that you don't need a bunch of bouncy castles, fast food and disney characters to have a great time with your kids. 

Sweetpea's and Coriander Girl are bringing buckets of flowers to decorate bicycles. Mid-afternoon, the decorated bikes will parade the park, led by the minstrels of Bellwoods Trinity. Westside Cycle will also be on hand to provide bike and helmet safety checks.

Fiesta Farms is hosting the Plant Your Own Pizza tent with all the soil and seds you'll need to grow the toppings for your favourite pizza. The Centre for Art & Soul is providing children's games and yoga, Fancy Pants Kids and Mrs Huizenga are bringing their tickle trunks of dress up clothes, PINE Project will lead naturecrafts and  Anouk's Ark is leading the families in a giant game of memory with her Endangered Speces Game. 

Thank you!
