Messy Play

Here in Missouri, maybe everywhere, we have aprogram called Parents as Teachers. It is a wonderful program the school district offers for free. They come to your home 4 times a year starting at birth, to screen your child, play games and teach you academic things you can be doing with your child at certain ages. They also look for red flags such as speech and developmental delays. Aside from that, they offer several support meetings for behavior, parenting etc, all year. They also have several fun sessions that you can bring your child to. Cole was super excited for Messy Play. They had 4 rooms set up at a school in the district and the kids could do all kinds of sensory things that were mesy! It was great becuase it wasnt a mess I had to clean!
He painted his hand and made a turkey, played with homemade pumpkin playdough, gak, instant snow, potato flakes, bubbles, shaving cream etc. It was a great night and he had a blast!
