Flying Start @ Saltash Get Messy Fingers!

Flying Start @ Saltash have been using their fingers… in lots of messy play!

The children of all ages have been experiencing and exploring lots of different sensory textures, to really get their fingers and hands active!

Exploring oats with glitter in the baby room, and in Preschool having timed challenges to stack cheerios onto skewers… really great sensory play for improving pincer grasps and control!

Using vegetables and pumpkins to explore textures…and getting slimy!

And of course lots of paint and glitter! 

Getting the children doing finger gym and using their hands with lots of different textures provides them with interesting play opportunities, time to explore and express themselves freely and also promotes the strength and control the children have with their fingers and hands… ad of course is all in all a lot of fun!
