Messy Play | Korihori pōrehe at BestStart Rangiora
In the nursery we embrace messy play with open arms! We enjoy nothing more than making a splash, exploring texture and having fun. Gloop is one of our favourite messy play experiences that we offer. Our tamariki are always exploring different ways of engaging and interacting with gloop.
Gloop is an exciting texture as it changes from a solid to a liquid through touch. During this experience we are also building our relationships as we explore alongside others. Our older tamariki have the opportunity to role model play to our younger friends too. Messy play is exciting and engaging for our pepi; but what we love most about one of our fantastic 16 areas of play is the learning that comes alongside it. This play supports language development as we talk about what is happening around us and within play.
We develop our motor skills and hand-eye coordination as we pour, pinch, grab and splash. Messy play is also fantastic for encouraging and supporting social interaction as we take turns and communicate verbally and non-verbally about the excitement within our play.
