Holiday messy play 6 months +

How much fun does this look?!

This session is for children who are aged 6 months to 4 years. The activities are a mixture of what I call wet and dry messy play.

Some examples of the wet messy play are water, custard, yoghurt.

Some examples of the dry messy play are shredded paper, moon dough and cereal.

The room will be set up with plastic matting, covering the floor space where the children will be exploring. The children will obviously be getting wet or sticky with some of the activities that are set up, so please do keep an eye on them to ensure that they don’t slip over.

The whole idea around the class is that it’s messy! With the younger children in the class I would totally advise stripping them down to a nappy and vest and letting them get on with it. For some of the older ones that aren’t OK with just the vest, I recommend light clothing – maybe even shorts and t-shirt. It’s a good plan to bring a complete change of clothes too so you’re not taking a soggy wee one home …… and a hand towel to dry them down. There will be a box of wet face cloths available at the end of the session to clean your wee one down.

With regards to adult participation, you may get wet or messy too! I was always most comfortable when I kicked off my shoes, rolled up my sleeves and accepted the inevitable …. I found my kids enjoyed the sessions a lot more when I had this attitude too.

As stated above, adult participation throughout the session is encouraged. While I am aware of what is suitable for each age and stage to be playing with, you know your little one best. Please do watch them if you know they are unsteady on their feet, or you know they are likely to put things in their mouth. That being said, everything that I use at my messy play sessions is edible. Because of this, please do ensure that you make me aware of any allergies.
