Children enjoy messy play and want to get muddy, jump in puddles… in fact the muckier they become, the more fun it can be. Children need to know that it is OK for them go out and get dirty.
Messy Play can also help develop children’s senses as they explore the different textures of materials and helps them develop their imagination which allows them to play freely.
Playing in the mud is just as much as fun as playing with sand, but more easily accessible for some. It is also great exercise for children, as digging is hard work!
