Exploring Messy Play.

Last week I introduced Poesy to fingerpaint.

She initially approached this experience with caution, uncertain as to what the mass of pink goop was, but after a little encouragement and scaffolding she took to it like a duck to water.

Well she was a joy to watch, taking handfuls of the paint and squeezing it through her little fingers. She then experimented slapping her hand down on it appearing intrigued with the fact that by doing this she could make it splatter. She then had a little taste, but by her facials, I don't think it met the flavour test.

Through this experience Poesy is developing the concept of cause and effect, texture and taste, fine and gross motor development and hand eye coordination. Monica
