After Messy Art day I was inspired to host a Messy art play date of my own.
It was such an amazing sensory experience I decided to invite over kids from my Special needs Playgroup.
It was the first time we hosted an event at our place with this group. The timing was hard and last minute a few couldn't come.
But we still had Nathan, Citlali, Quinn, and Robin which I felt was a good small size
The kids played with shaving cream and paint, we had large sheets of paper out for them
They could make foot prints and hand prints and then they wanted to play in the water too
They used our play sink to rinse off there hands which lead to water play. It was a hot day so we let them put on bathing suits.
We had some snacks which the kids enjoyed. It was really nice to see everyone doing art.
Nathan and Citlali came first thing in the morning, but Nathan had to leave after an hour
Citlali had to go after lunch. Quinn stopped in then, he liked the garden
The kids played with the slide, and the swings and play structure
I wasn't brave enough to let them roll balls covered in paint down the slide, but who knows, maybe next time.
Robin stopped by after lunch and stayed until he and Holly were exhausted and ready for a nap.
Here is Citlali painting, she is being careful not to get too messy
Holly is more like to paint all over herself these days
We played with bubbles too which the kids loved
We also had water spray bottles filled with dyed water that the kids could spray on paper
We hung those up on the back fence and they made pretty patterns as the colored water dripped
They used the paint on the easel and we had large sheets of cardboard on the floor they painted too.
The water got all messy, mixed with paint and shaving cream
It was like a whole new item on the sensory list
The play date was quite a success
Its too bad more people could not make it. I planned on doing it again
But I haven't got around to it yet. Maybe I will next month while Holly is out of school
Her bathing suit was covered in paint, so she ended up taking it off so she could play in the pool
It was a lovely day to have good friends over and a wonderful time was had by all. it was a good first step follow up to the official Messy Art day.
