Messy Play

Children aged under 4 years.

Messy Play is an important part of early education. It offers many opportunities for learning.

Messy Play Programme involves children taking the lead, whilst using all their senses in the process of discovery, especially the sense of touch.

Children are offered the opportunity to mould and manipulate materials, helping to develop their fine motor skills.

Children will be given the tools to develop and practice fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. Activities such as stacking, pouring and spooning will develop hand-eye coordination. Practice cutting, writing in shaving cream and using tongs will develop fine motor skills. Hands-on activities will provide opportunities for children to compare textures such as smooth, rough, hard and soft. 

The programme runs as one off sessions over various months each session is for 1 hour.

The programme is suitable for children aged 1 to under 4 years old.
