Messy Play at BestStart Merivale
We love messy play in our Merivale Nursery ! We love slime, play dough, clay, water play, shredded paper and many more other tactile experiences.
Messy play uses the hands and fingers, which promotes fine motor skill development. It encourages finger dexterity, hand and shoulder strength – skills all necessary for handwriting in the future. Messy play also helps with body balance and spatial awareness, enhancing gross motor skills.
