Scarlettangel Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Lay here unable to sleep for one reason or another and I wonder what you define as messy play and what are your three favourite examples of messy play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well I can't sleep, what's that all about then . My three favourites are anything with mud, finger, hand, foot painting and jelly. What's yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyanne Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Lol, I'd been in bed since 9 o'clock as absolutely shattered with a migraine :-( - thank goodness for half term! I love cornflour gloop, seeing new little ones find out about hand/finger painting for the first time (the ones who've never been allowed to make a mess before) and mud pies. One of my staff member has really struggled with cornflour gloop, she admits to being a bit OCD. She is fine with other messy play with paint, playdough etc, but the nature of cornflour gloop - is it a solid or is it a liquid? - has made it really hard for her to handle it, so I'm really proud of her for putting her hands in this week! She's a star :-) I define messy play as the provision of an open ended resource for exploration (I suppose by that as the paint can have an end product it may not be messy play by my definition...) - so not cooking or washing stuff as they has an end product in mind, however messy we may get!

rachelllps Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well this week, it has been snow, flubber (which kept all of us at a table for 30+ minutes) and peppermint gloop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
