Being an early childhood educator, I come in contact with a lot of sticky situations. From wearing snot on my sleeve to toddlers with pudding from head to toe during a pudding painting session, I know messy. Getting messy is part of providing meaningful learning invitations to even the youngest of learners.
But, don’t get me wrong…I like to control the mess as much as possible! For instance, we lay out a large vinyl tablecloth when using our sensory tub. Especially when it is full of real snow (still waiting to do that this year, come on snow) or beans and rice.
I have also found that by using contact paper, rather than gluesticks, with my toddlers saves me some serious mess! Can you imagine… glue on the table, chairs, floor, walls and most likely clothing and hair- AHH! Instead of dealing with that mess, I provide cut outs, ribbons, tissue paper or anything else I can think of to stick to the contact paper. Works perfectly for young learners!
Or, when doing playdough, give each child a tray to work on. When finished playing, put the playdough away and dump the small dried up pieces in the trash. Tada…clean table (well hopefully)!
