Fun with Messy Play by Tracy Beckerleg
This activity book heightens the sensory perception of children with special needs through the imaginative use of everyday 'messy' materials like baked beans, condensed milk, jelly or glue. The activities in this book help to improve co-ordination, communicative and cognitive abilities, as well as their self-esteem and social skills.
Whether you are new to the notion of messy play, not yet convinced, or looking for additional ideas, this book will be a valuable resource-- The Word Pool, Jill Bennett
In writing her book about messy play Tracey not only clearly outlines the important part this plays in the development of a range of skills, but also shares her wonderful enthusiasm for the activities. This was a book that I not only enjoyed reading but one which made me want to go out and use some of the ideas and have fun. -- NASEN Special
