LITTLE LEARNERS

Little Learners Award Winning Messy Play Classes for Babies, Toddlers & Preschoolers. Encouraging Children to Mark Make & Learn Through Play!

Is messy play educational?
The simple answer is YES!! The children have loads of fun and we enhance their learning by teaching the Mark Makers Programme.

I am Jade, your local Little Learners host. I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to present the Little Learners, Messy Play & Mark Making Programme in the local area.

At my Little Learners class there is all the mess that you would expect from a messy play class, with the bonus of the unique early writing program for under 5’s devised by qualified teacher and director of Little Learners, Rachel Fay.

Each week we will introduce one of the four Mark Makers characters and their marks; Lionel and the Soldier Marks (Straight lines); Archie and the Rainbow Marks (Arches); Swirlo and the Magic Marks (Swirls and Circles); Ziggy and the Monster Marks (ZigZags).

We will always start with a bit of singing and dancing with ribbons, as research has shown that it is important to be able to make the BIG marks to enable us to make the SMALL marks. We will then ask the children to make the weeks chosen Mark whilst they are playing in the trays. We encourage the children to make their marks in an array of different textures; sand, playdoh, paint, rice, spaghetti and many many more. Using their, hands, feet, fingers, and toes.

This class will give you and your child a chance to work together on their early writing journey and of course a chance to socialise with other children and grown-ups.

The more fun that children have mark making and developing their motor skills, the more prepared and confident they will be when it comes to writing at school.
