All About Love - Love is Messy - Day 6

PJ loves to get messy - she loves squidging playdough, we've played with custard and jelly and she often , if the plate of spaghetti or beans or egg lingers for about 30 seconds longer than when she has finished eating - becomes a great sensory messy experience too. For her, this seems to be some gaps in her early development that she has missed - or at least regressed back to since being with me - that she still needs revisiting - and therefore she needs the experience of,the gap still needing to be filled, so that she can move on. That's the theory, now move on to the fun, messy bit. At these moments I see an 18 month old in a high chair playing with their food - she is 3, so we have fun in lots of other sensory ways too. We tried some of Emma's ideas at my little 3 and me - but this is our version! It started off as Snow Gel (honestly!) but then with a quick flash of inspiration and impulse, the red paint and the pink paint and the purple paint we had been painting with earlier, somehow just got squidged into the mix. A Love-rly messy fun time!.
