Getting Messy at BestStart Burnside
This week in our Piwakawaka room (nursery), we've been diving into the world of sensory exploration with soapy foam and dry messy play. At BestStart Burnside, we're passionate about providing our pepe with enriching and stimulating experiences that ignite their curiosity and foster learning in a playful environment.
Messy play is a cornerstone of our curriculum, and we wholeheartedly embrace it in various forms to encourage our tamariki to unleash their creativity and curiosity. Whether it's squishing fingers in soapy foam or delving into dry messy play, our little ones are always eager to dive in and explore. The joy and excitement are palpable throughout the center whenever messy play is on the agenda, with big smiles lighting up the room.
Through these sensory experiences, our pepe not only engage in hands-on learning but also develop important cognitive and fine motor skills. As they manipulate materials, they're honing their sensory processing abilities and expanding their understanding of the world around them.
We're thrilled to witness the wonder and delight on our tamariki's faces as they immerse themselves in messy play, paving the way for a lifelong love of learning and exploration.
