Creative and messy play is important in a child’s development, but we all know how much chaos our little darlings can create when allowed just a little freedom with a paint brush (or even a crayon!) in the house….! |
 |
At Paint Pot Tots we will actively encourage your child to express themselves through creative and messy play, allowing their imagination to run free as they learn the fundamentals of shape, colour and texture at the same time as having loads of fun. |
And what’s more, you – the adult – will have just as much fun as your child, since you won’t have the thought of cleaning up nagging at the back of your head! |
| Through structured, themed sessions, we will help provide your child with a wealth of practical and social skills, develop fine motor skills and increase confidence. Here’s how each activity can aid your child’s development: |
