Let's Get Messy!


Did you know allowing your child messy play is good for them?  Messy play allows kids to experience unrestricted creativity and learning opportunities. It gives your kids the ability to experiment with engaging their senses with new sensations, textures, and unique ways to play.

This class helps children develop:
- Gross and Fine Motor skills
- Sensory skills
- Creativity
- Language Development and Literacy


Giving your child the free space to messy play will spark their curiosity and exploration.  It allows children to familiarize themselves with new sensations, textures and new ways to play.

Getting messy also helps parents in their own exploration towards joyful and exciting learning opportunities.


Gift your child with creative freedom in the Get Messy Toddler Class ongoing every Thursday at 9:30 am OR 11:00 am.  These classes are presented by Yakety Yak Pediatric Therapy owner Emily Garratt, certified Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist.
