Your baby’s “messy play” actually has good benefits. When toddlers make a mess while playing, they’re stimulating sensory pathways in the brain that support learning and development.

How do you feel about messy play? It’s a love-hate thing for me but when it’s outside, it’s almost always LOVE. There are so many benefits to letting your kid explore their senses through messy play and it’s a nice reminder for me to slow down and embrace their childhood. 💞 This activity is so simple and so fun. My kids absolutely LOVED it. 👉🏼Just cut up some cheap pool noodles (save after to reuse!) 👉🏼 Grab some cheap shaving cream - or whipped cream for a taste-safe alternative for toddle
