Did you know, messy play - in addition to being fun and interesting for babies and young children, encourage children to explore and investigate?
Other reasons messy play or sensory play is beneficial for children include helping children to build nerve connections in the brain. It encourages the development of motor skills.
Generally, sensory play includes any activity that stimulates your young child's senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes as they play, create, investigate and explore.
'Messy Play' can help children in many ways, to calm down, express their feelings, experiment with different materials, learn about textures and learn hand-eye coordination or to practice drawing, measuring and mixing skills.
Little Caliph Pearl City and Little Caliph Jawi (which also known as Tadika As Saadah) sports day is more like a carnival, in conjunction with Tadika As Saadah 5th year anniversary.
Mummy woke up early morning, very excited to attend Balqis' very first sports day. Balqis was very excited and looking forward for her sports day too. She's been practising the Robocar Poli dance, which the kids supposed to dance during the opening ceremony.
She would ask Mummy everyday after school if tomorrow was the sports day.
When she woke up and got ready, she was still very excited. We had breakfast first before we go to the event place. We reached the sports day place, registered and went to wait under the tent.
It's just last two weeks that we went to the Audi Dream Farm in Balik Pulau, and we were there again last weekend to join Let's Rock Balik Pulau programme, in conjunction with Balik Pulau Festival 2019.
There were two activities offered through the Let's Rock Balik Pulau programme - cycling at Balik Pulau or mangrove boating and hiking. The event is organized by Tourism Malaysia together with Matahari Cycle Tours and Travel.
The inaugural Balik Pulau Festival 2019 was held for three days from 19 to 21 July 2019, offering various programs including running events, cycling, traditional orchestral performances, services from government agencies, games, food and handicraft.
We found out about Audi Dream Farm months ago when I saw some friends postings on going there but then, we forgot about the place until recently so we decided to take the kids there since Balqis had been bugging us to take her to the zoo. FYI, Penang tak ada zoo ye. So, Taiping is the nearest and we just been there last few months too.
Audi Dream Farm is located in Sungai Rusa, Balik Pulau, Penang. Just Waze "Audi Dream Farm" and it will take you there straight away.
For MyKad holders, the admission fee was RM 10 each for adult, RM 5 for children 3 to 12 years old and free for below 3. For animal feeding, the basket cost RM15 including several animal foods, pre-packed.

Remember last time when I blogged about our little outing taking the train to Butterworth and hanging out at Penang Sentral? Well, I did not mentioned much about Penang Sentral because I think it deserves a post on its own.
Penang Sentral is the new hub for all transportation and transits in Butterworth - KTM station, bus station, jetty for ferry and of cos, taxis. In addition to the convenience of public transportation, Penang Sentral offers several facilities and services to enhance the traveler's experience while in transit.
Penang Sentral is build with shops, ticketing counters, prayer rooms, a food court, a nursing room and many other facilities to accommodate the needs of travellers. There are also parking spaces available for the convenience of those using transport facilities there. Penang Sentral is hoped to play an important role in streamlining transportation in the state as the place was a hub for long and short distance buses, taxis, ferries and trains.
