Ray's face : Akka made me do it ma! (SWIPE to second pic to see the instigators face π€)
Oh, messy play... The thought of it used to make me cringe, but it is oh so beneficial for kiddos so I have had to lighten up significantly AND turn a blind eye to the entire floor which is a mess of squished spaghetti πππ Now we just take our entire table outside and it's a field day for the girls!
Some of the benefits of messy play :
πΈ It fosters Curiosity, Imagination and Exploration.
πΈ It encourages Communication and Language Development.
πΈ It practices Good Concentration Skills
πΈ It promotes Physical Development
πΈ It can be enjoyed across various age groups
πΈ It pupports the Ability to Play Independently (which gives mama at least 15 min to drink her coffee while still warm π€)
A special moment of appreciation for this beautiful table from . It is so well designed with the containers for messy play and boards that close it up to become a craft table AND a white board. The wood is double sealed so it's perfect for messy and water play fun!
