Question 1

What is Messy Play or Sensory Play?

Answer

Both can be used interchangeably and mean the same thing. In short, it is an activity that engages a child's senses including eyes, ears, nose, mouth, touch, social, language, balance, or movement.

Question 2

Why is Messy Play or Sensory Play important?

Answer

Refering to Piaget's theory of development, children from 0 to 8 are in two different stages of development:
* Sensorimotor stage from ages 0 to 2
* Preoperational state from age 2 to 8 In both of these stages, play through experimenting and exploring their environment is critical for development. The sensorimotor stage from birth to 2 is all about using their senses to explore their world. What things feel, taste, sound, look like, and how your child moves in order to explore these things aids in their cognitive learning. They quickly learn how much strength they need to pick up a block or if something feels soft or hard. As a child grows and enters school, this learning through play and exploring is still a vital part of their cognitive development. They build on the sensory experiences they had as a baby and toddler to produce symbols and language and other academic skills. Playing and exploring IS learning for a child. Playing is their job!
