Beautiful mess created by beautiful littles

We are all about mess – squelching, splishing, splashing and sloshing, the messier the better!

Book a Session

Safe and wildly fun sessions for your babies, toddlers and preschoolers!

At Messy Play Kids, we believe the best learning happens when children are free to explore, create, and yes – get wonderfully messy! Our carefully designed sensory sessions invite babies and children (ages 6 months to 5 years) to dive into a world of textures, colors, and smells that stimulate all five senses.

Each session is thoughtfully crafted to support your child’s development while you play together. Through hands-on exploration with completely taste-safe materials, children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and emotional regulation. Most importantly, they build confidence and curiosity in a supportive environment where there are no rules – just pure, joyful discovery alongside their favorite person (you!).

Squishy, sticky, slimy! 🦠 Wondering why we love the goo so much? ​Introducing slimy textures at a young age is incredible for your little one’s brain development. Playing with slimy textures helps build vital nerve connections, supports tactile processing, and strengthens fine motor skills as they squish and squeeze. It’s also a fantastic way to help children grow comfortable with different sensations and reduce texture sensitivities over time. ​Ready to let them get messy? Book a session online! 👇 ​Can't make it? We offer nationwide delivery on all our Take Me Home Messy Play Kits and Sensory mixes. 🔗 www.messyplaykids.com ​#MessyPlayKids #SensoryPlay #ToddlerActivities #SensoryDevelopment #MessyPlay

This is sensory regulation 🫧 Fully immersing in a creamy, foamy texture like this not only calms and regulates the nervous system but also activates the receptors in thier muscles and joints ​by rubbing their hands together, pressing their palms, or squeezing the texture through their fingers. This resistance provides the brain with deep pressure input, which helps the child understand where their body is in space and how much force their muscles are exerting. The benefits of sensory messy play are endless... and so is the fun! #messyplaykids #sensoryplay #playbasedlearning #occupationaltherapy

We love incorporating a good hand workout activity into our Messy Play sessions and a masher is the perfect tool to achieve this 🫧 Mashing is also a highly therapeutic and rhythmic activity. For many children, the repetitive motion of squishing and mashing is an excellent outlet for releasing energy or tension, helping them self-regulate in a safe, constructive way. ​✨ Book your session online at www.messyplaykids.co.za ​Spaces fill up fast, so grab your spot today! ​#MessyPlayKids #SensoryPlay #JohannesburgMom #ScreenFreeFun #KidsActivitiesJHB
