Welcome to Kids & Company's Family Resource Centre - Messy Play!

Messy play fosters creativity, imagination and exploration in children of all ages.  Exposing your child to a variety of materials such as paint, chalk, play dough, water or sand can stimulate their curiosity and develop their knowledge.  With messy play, sensory experiences can provide numerous opportunities for children to  become more aware of their senses, the world around them and further develop language skills.

Active learning happens through messy play!
