Description

Messy play is growing time--with lots of chances to have unstructured and sensory-rich play all day long.

"Hello, dough! Squish Squash Squeeze." "¡Hola, plastilina! Aprieta Estira Aplasta." Little ones build their gross- and fine-motor skills through play, touch, and--yes--making a big mess. With its bouncy, friendly approach, Messy Time/¡A ensuciarse! encourages creativity, growth mindset, and messy play throughout the day, indoors and outdoors.

Part of the popular Toddler Tools(R) board book series, Messy Time/¡A ensuciarse! shows joyful, messy play in different environments: with art materials; with mud, sand, and water; in the kitchen; in the garden; in the bathtub. Messy time is growing time, and messy play provides rich sensory experiences and unstructured play. At the back of the book, a section for parents and caregivers has tips in English and Spanish for making the most of messy play, including clean-up time.
