This course will provide you with an understanding of the importance of sensory exploration for children in the early years.   We will show you various ways how your children can use their hands, fingers, feet and toes to understand their senses and make marks, helping strengthen their core muscles.  Children that have fun developing their motor skills and mark making through messy play, become more prepared and confident in their exploration of the sensory world around them. Our messy play course has been designed for children in the early years to assign meaning to their marks, which sparks creativity and exploration. Our aim is to make sensory play fun and encourage every child to make their mark through messy play & much more.
