Messy Time
About This Book
Messy Time is a toddler book about the pleasures of messy play. It presents mess as a way for little ones to grow, with plenty of unstructured, sensory-rich play through the day. Children build gross- and fine-motor skills by touching, squishing and, yes, making a big mess. Its bouncy, friendly tone encourages creativity, a growth mindset and messy play indoors and out, with playful lines such as "Hello, dough! Squish Squash Squeeze" and "Welcome, rain! Splish Splash Dash." The book shows joyful messy play in many settings: with art materials; with mud, sand and water; in the kitchen; in the garden; and in the bathtub. A section at the back gives parents and caregivers tips for getting the most from messy play, including how to handle clean-up time. Messy Time is the newest addition to the Toddler Tools series. These positive books are meant to ease the daily transitions and routines that can be hard for toddlers and the adults who care for them, and they can be shared before or during the activity they cover.
