Messy Play Day is one of Imagine!'s Dayspring department's Community Calendar Activities (CCAs). CCAs introduce young children with developmental delays and disabilities to places in our community that offer great activities and opportunities for children to meet their goals through fun and play. All activities encourage motor, sensory, social-emotional, cognitive, and speech-language development.
Messy Play Day is designed to introduce new sensory experiences to the children in a safe and comfortable environment. Learning occurs as children touch, manipulate, experiment, and talk about things, while interacting with people who facilitate without directing.
But the paragraphs above are just words. Take a look at the pictures below of some of the Messy Play Day sensory activities to see what the words look like in action.

Big thanks to UPS, who sent a team of volunteers early in the morning to help set up the activities.
And congratulations to the entire Dayspring staff, who hosted another successful, fun, and meaningful event for the families and children they serve.
And the volunteers from UPS probably had a great time too. Messy Play Day is always a highlight of the Imagine! staff who can observe.
