Messy play is extremely important for a child’s development. It provides children with an exciting tactile and sensory experience that inspires their curiosity, allows them to explore the world around them and enhances their learning, language and creativity.

Classes are designed to develop cognitive skills, body control, hand eye coordination, fine and gross motor skills, confidence, material knowledge and colour recognition! Above all It is a fun and exciting group where we will be making a host of different art and craft activities. It is a great chance to spend precious time with your little one making and getting messy!
Included in the price of the session will be a healthy fruit snack and materials.

Timings are 10:00 - 10:45 or 11:15 - 12:00
