#MessyMama strikes again! Sophia and I made pictures using glue and scraps of paper from one of my crafts. I will gladly mop up water, vacuum noodles and beads, wash gluey hands, waste bandaids, etc, to encourage Sophia learning through open-ended play. She's challenging her decision making, creativity, building confidence, and developing fine and gross motor skills, as well as learning life skills like washing dishes and sweeping. Here's an article that articulates the benefits of messy play way better than I ever could. Ps, I learned all of this at The Little Gym. 😉😁 https://www.verywellfamily.com/let-them-play-why-kids-should-make-a-mess-290435 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQO-dLDxe1/?igshid=1gjcumwik5qym
