Go and play with those messy children
Creative and playful splashing around with various materials
There’s a well-known song in German by Franz-Josef Degenhardt which starts: “You mustn’t
play with those messy children”. It’s a message that seems to have been taken to heart by
many parents and even by some children in this hygiene-obsessed age.
And yet, and yet... children have an innate desire to make a mess — with all sorts of
materials. They feel magically attracted by muddy puddles. Enthusiastically they jump in,
both feet first, relishing the splashes or seeing just how far their rubber boots sink into the
mire.
This book makes all sorts of suggestions to enable children to give free rein to this
elementary urge, using various materials such as sand, clay, soap and water, dough or paper
for them to experiment with. They can splash around with wet clay, squirt finger-paints
around, cover parts of the body in plaster of Paris, and knead papier mâché. Snow and ice
turn into igloos and huge hurricane lamps, clay and wire become abstract sculptures –- who
wouldn’t want to be one of these messy children?
