Messy Play Classes at Little Learners

Heard about educational messy play? For the uninitiated, educational messy play is an innovative method of teaching babies and pre-schoolers life skills through play. Developed by a primary school teacher, messy play involves everything that is play, including making marks through messy play, scribbling, painting, play dough and dancing.

Kids are encouraged to use their feet, toes, fingers and hands in a messy play class. Messy play classes exercise kids’ core muscles and strengthen them. A messy play class also develops gross and fine motor skills of kids, which teaches them to grip objects and draw shapes.

With steady practice in baby & toddler classes, your child will be more adept at holding a pencil, which prepares them for school years ahead. These classes also teach kids about pattern identification, social play, creativity and exploration.

Little Learners’ messy play classes come with a 5-star rating from parents – find your nearest Little Learners class here.
