Messy Play!

  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.   Tuesday 4th November – Firework Sensory Play!  As bonfire night approaches, celebrate with this colourful messy play session. We will explore various textures and sounds with fireworks sensory buckets and create our very own 'fireworks' with bright colours!   Tuesday 18th November – Potion making!  A magical creative morning filled with story-based play and potion making! Create a powerful potion together through sensory activities and see what magical creatures appear from it!   Tuesday 16th December – Festive Fun!  Get in the festive spirit with this engaging session where we will decorate a Christmas Tree together. This messy play will use paints, stamps, stickers and fun bauble making!   Tuesday 6th January – Slime Session!  Get stuck into the new year with a sensory slime session! Learn through exploration in this fun and messy morning with different smells and textures.
