currycraver Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi ~Everyone, I am studying for my EYITT. I have just started my first placement in a different setting to my own and am working in the baby room- (children aged 1-2). I would like to plan an activity based either on messy play or heuristic play and wondered how other people have found this sort or activity. Are there any ideas or resources which you have found work well. I am used to working with much older children so any ideas or advice gratefully received. Many thanks
AliceinWonderland Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Our babies love messy play. We've used a few different things, custard works well, we put in on a tray and just let them feel their way, they love to pat it and smear it everywhere, (usually over themselves!) Also have used jelly and spaghetti. Usually have a big plastic spoon for them to use as well if they want to. At least with these items, it doesn't matter if they eat it.
currycraver Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks Pebbles, I am going to try jelly play. Am thinking of putting some fish in the bottom of the jelly, both laminated and large toy ones and maybe a couple of pots and spoons. I have not thought of custard before though!
