Messy Play!


For babies and toddlers aged 0-5

Join us for messy play sessions on Tuesday mornings! The sessions will meet every other week starting Tuesday 4th November from 10:15-11am for some sensory-based fun for babies and toddlers (0-5 years). 

In Messy Play we will employ different materials to craft, draw, paint and discover textures, sounds, colours and shapes together. The sessions focus on early years foundational aspects of sensory development, giving babies and toddlers a space to engage freely with different sensorial stimuli.  

The sessions are structured with two play areas: one playing mat on the floor for babies and small children and a table with materials and instructions for older children to engage in more structured creative activities with their parents.  

These classes are also an opportunity for new parents to find new routines and combat parental isolation by meeting with other creative parents.  

Book your child's space - adults attend for free!

 

All sessions employ safe to ingest / edible materials. A full list of ingredients will be provided each session. Please get in touch with Front of House on info@edinburghprintmakers.co.uk if you have any specific questions.
