There is no right or wrong way to do messy play; children of all abilities can use materials in their own way and still be part of the group.
Children learning English as a second language can join in too as messy play does not rely on words. Messy play offers many opportunities for learning:
An opportunity for imagination and creativity.
Through sensory experiences, children are able to respond to what they see, hear, feel, touch and smell.
Children can express their feelings and thoughts through colour, texture and shapes.
All children’s therapy sessions are currently grant-funded however as you can appreciate, this may not be the case always and standard session charges are as follow:
1-hour individual sessions – £15
Full-day group sessions (5-15 children) – £50

Williams, 2000
