MESSY YOGHURT PLAY - Sensory Activities for Babies and Toddlers

So much sensory fun and a really safe way to do messy play!
All you need is some yoghurt and food colouring and away you go.
Messy play is really good for development in younger children. Helping them to explore the world around them and understanding it. Children learn best when all there senses are engaged.
Babies often explore there tactile sense by putting things in there mouth, this is why its really good to use yoghurt as a messy material... If it does end up in their mouth its not going to be harmful.
(you can use dairy free yoghurt if you have intolerances )
For teeny tiny ones before weaning you can always keep in zip lock bags and play, it still has a fun consistency and is very colourful.
Top Tip - if you want less of the mess you can use the bath tub as your play space then its super easy to wash it all away.
We love the mess and getting stuck in!
I hope you give it a go and if you do let us know and comment below!
**Don't forget children and babies should be supervised at all time **
