Unstructured play is a big hit during the lazy days of Summer! And Shout® has teamed up with Olympic athlete and mom Jennie Finch to bring you the Shout® Unstructured Play photo contest and a giveaway on my blog.
Unstructured play is one of the best parts of being a child. Go outside,use your imagination with just a few handy objects and don’t worry about getting dirty. Shout® comes to the rescue to clean up stains with various products.
Moms, did you know that unstructured play is integral to a child’s development? They get to hone their imagination, be active, learn to play with others and feel the giddiness of freedom. Think back on your days of being outdoors with nothing more than some chalk or a pile of leaves.

My middle daughter loves to roll down the hill at their school during recess. I have to wonder what her teachers think when she comes back inside with twigs in her hair and grass stains on her clothes. Mind you, the child is 9. We jokingly call her pig-pen

My daughter never enjoyed “messy play.” We never really did it. She loves to paint both on canvas and tags (for bookmarks). She loves to decopage and use fimo clay. Sometimes that can get messy, but never out of control. Mostly, her messy play are accidents at the dinner table.
my daughter likes to play in the dirt, and look for worms!!
we like to go mud ridding on the 4 wheeler
My childfen are grown, but I remember some playtime in the sandbox that got pretty messy. It involved a hose as I remember it.
