We use lots of different types of Messy Play at BestStart Glenfield, one of our favorites is wood shavings. Today we set up an experience where there were different objects hidden and our tamariki dug around to see what they could find. This was a great way to develop our sense of touch and also grew our vocabulary by using describing words to explain what we could feel. 

We then took the wood shavings outside where they became the the base of our animal world, this was a great way to grow our imaginations as we entered the world of pretend play and became the animal we were engaged with.
