Reviews

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*

This is an easy book to use, with good illustrations of a child indulging in messy play and is recommended to practitioners and parents of all children, especiallly for children with special needs.
*Journal of the National Association of Hospital Play*

The ideas are designed to be fun for children while helping to improve coordination, communicative and cognitive abilities as well as self-esteem and social skills.
