Let's get messy!

Messy play engages the senses and children learn foundational cognitive principles as they exercise motor, language, and social skills.

◼️ Messy play builds foundational skills across Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF) domains

◼️ The open-ended quality of messy play allows children to explore and learn at developmentally appropriate levels.

◼️ Messy play activities are fun and engaging, easy to set up, and not always messy!
