Messy Play!

In the Early Years, we enjoy learning through messy play!

Children in the Early Years are offered the opportunity to engage in a wide-range of different messy play activities, including the mud kitchen, exploring and mixing paint and investigating the properties of liquid cornflour, as examples. We value and prioritise the unique way in which children learn in the Early Years through using all of their senses. Such activities also help develop fine motor skills and finger strength - a fundamental pre-cursor to writing.
