Messy Play @ Beckton Library

Toddlers and preschool children need tactile and interactive activities to develop. Hands on messy play such as painting, sticking or sand/water play are important ways for a child to develop their physical, cognitive and social skills. Participating in messy play activities is not only great fun but it helps a child's development.
Messy Play sessions are run twice a week at Beckton Library. Messy Play's aim is to stimulate imagination and creativity, to develop social and emotional skills, to build strong communication and literacy skills, to teach basic mathematical skills and to develop physical skills.
