ABSTRACT
The opposite of messy play is orderly play and a lot of orderly play goes with
sanitised play or painting by numbers or creating with kits. In Chapter 5 I
talk about the importance of natural substances in relation to sand and water
play, and objects from nature being used for sculpting. Messy play is very
much linked to this and through exploring natural substances we are able to
understand their rhythm, their order. Eventually we shall be able to find our
own rhythm and our own order.
