Messy play offers several opportunities for learning and is essential for early childhood development. Fine motor skills can be developed through activities such as mark making, cutting and using tools and instruments whilst coordination is also enhanced through pouring, spooning, and stacking. As the majority of activities are group based, children can communicate with each other, learn how to use gestures, share, negotiate and explain ideas. Messy play encourages children to try out new experiences and explore their senses. They will learn about materials and textures, smells, tastes, shapes, colours and form whilst also investigating how substances can change or be manipulated. By exploring different materials and using different tools and techniques, they can develop creativity and imagination as well as building on problem solving skills.

There is no end to learning through messy play!
