It’s so much more than fun mess making!
It’s play based learning that packs a punch with a big impact on growth and development.
In the first few years, your little one’s brain is busy making connections that come together to create its wiring. These are “first connections” and they need a lot of them to move onto more complex tasks. It’s actually new and unique sensory experiences that “spark” a new connection. During this time they have a larger capacity to make connections than at any other period. Sensory play or “messy play” provides a giant boost of new and unique sensory experiences to support this process! Learn more about the benefits.
Other huge benefits of sensory play!
Sensory play and brain development go hand in hand. In the first years of a baby’s life, the brain is busy building it’s wiring system. The early years are the “prime time” for a young developing brain. This intense period of brain growth and network building capacity happens only once in a lifetime. As caregivers and parents, we have this brief, but unique opportunity to help encourage the formation of brain circuitry in our infants. ”
