Messy play is more than making a mess..

For babies, it’s a chance to touch, squeeze, explore, discover and experience new textures while developing sensory awareness, fine-motor skills, coordination and curiosity.

The mess can be cleaned up but the learning experience is priceless.

Save these ideas for your next baby sensory play session.

It was lovely to present a prize from Bradford Libraries to one of our Storytimers whose name was drawn for participating in the Rhyme Challenge earlier this year. What a lucky boy!
He was very excited and enjoyed the cheers and applause from everyone in the session on Monday.
