🎨🦠🪇Little Learners Messy Play 🎨🦠🪇
Messy play for babies is a fun, hands-on way for your little learners to explore different textures, colours, and materials using their senses. It supports early development by encouraging curiosity, creativity, and fine motor skills, all while helping babies learn about the world around them in a safe and playful environment. For very young children and babies, the exploration of objects through touch can often end up with the item in question in their mouths! At Tommy Tumble Town we ensure, as best we can, that the materials used are safe and non toxic.
Messy play promotes communication even from a very young age. Words such as “gooey, crispy, slimy and soft” can be used when your child explores their surroundings by touching different materials. You may hear a few “ickys and yucks” too! This is a good sign as they are starting to make decisions on how things feel.
Supporting your child’s language development, helping them understand how things feel and how to describe them is aided by adult prompts. Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling are all ways children learn to think, feel, and compare their environment and the objects within it. Using multiple senses at the same time stimulates learning and language development.
Come and let you child explore a world of messy play at Tommy Tumble Town, don't worry about the mess that is made, just leave it all to us 😊
It is only natural that your child will get messy as they explore.
Please bring a towel and a spare pair of clothes.
Where possible please put your child in older clothes that you don't mind them getting dirty in.
