Messy Play Classes in Edinburgh brought to you by me, Susan
Hi everyone, my name is Susan and I live in East Calder in West Lothian. Originally from Edinburgh, my husband, our two young boys and two crazy beagle dogs moved out to East Calder so our boys could enjoy better family life. We love spending time together as a family making memories whether locally or whilst travelling.
Previously I have spent many years working in customer service and finance but having had my boys I wanted to look at something that would make me the best version of me whilst supporting their education and allowing me to see them grow.
What we do: Messy play, painting, play dough, scribbling and more are used to encourage children to make marks and learn early writing skills through play.
At Little Learners your child will be encouraged to use their hands, fingers, feet and toes to make marks, this will help to strengthen their core muscles and develop their gross and fine motor skills. These skills are vital for holding and controlling a pencil and letter and number formation when they reach school age.
At Little Learners we encourage parents and carers to be involved in their child's learning as much as they can, and most of all have lots of fun. We provide a variety of fun, hands on activities for you and your child to explore together and learn how to make marks.
So come join us in making mess, marks and memories!
