At BestStart Riverbend Rd we love exploring messy play experiences. The tamariki spend a lot of time exploring the properties and textures of different sensory set ups including gloop, slime and one our favourites is plain flour with lots of natural resources to add. When exploring messy play, tamariki are learning about early mathematical skills. It is also a great opportunity for them to refine their communication skills as they learn new words to describe their work and converse with their peers.

 Messy play provides tamariki with a wide range of sensory experiences that supports their learning about different textures, smells and materials. Some children find exploring messy play very soothing, it can also a great social time for all.
