More about the program
Messy Play classes provide sensory rich experiences for children ages 6 months – 3 years old. Messy play is a type of play that involves children exploring a variety of materials and textures using their senses. Messy play is all about letting children explore and experiment with different objects and raw materials without any end goals to restrict them. Raw materials such as sand, water, chalk, paint and play dough allow imaginations to run wild and children can spend a long time exploring, making discoveries, stimulating their curiosity and developing their knowledge. There are many benefits of messy play and those include development of fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, language development and emotional regulation. Plus, it’s just plain fun to get messy!
