We’re missing our Messy Monday session today! 🥺🎨

We hope all our wonderful messy makers are having the BEST half term break – full of fun, laughter, and maybe just a little bit of mess at home 😉

We’ll be busy behind the scenes this week in the creation station, whipping up some yummy edible trays for an exciting private booking… we can’t wait to share them with you! 🍓

In the meantime, we’d love to know… what’s your little one’s favourite play tray? 👇💭

Our Make a Mess weekly sessions won’t be running until the week of April 13th — we’re taking a short break, but we’ll be back before you know it!

When we return, we’ve got something exciting planned… 👀
Our sessions will now be themed weekly, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements!

Here’s a little clue for our very first theme… 🏴‍☠️🗺️
Think treasure, adventure, and a splash of the high seas…

In the meantime, we hope everyone has a lovely Easter break filled with fun, relaxation, and maybe just a little bit of mess at home 💛

We can’t wait to see you all soon 🫟🫟

Our Easter special today was all about embracing the chaos… and wow, did we deliver 🐣✨

From the moment we started, it was a whirlwind of creativity, laughter, and hands-on fun. Paint, crafts, colours everywhere — the kind of session where perfection takes a back seat and imagination runs wild.

We truly believe the best learning (and the best memories) happen when you make a mess, explore freely, and enjoy every second of the process. And today was exactly that — joyful, messy, and absolutely brilliant.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it so special 💛

Same again next time… but maybe with even more mess 😉

🌿🌳 Let’s bring the tree back to life tomorrow at Make a Mess! 🌳🌿

Our grassy sensory tray is ready and waiting… but it needs a little help! Can your little one fill the tree and make it green again? 💚✨

Scooping and pouring aren’t just fun (and a bit messy 😄) — they help build coordination, focus, and early learning skills too. It’s all about exploring, experimenting, and enjoying the process!

So come along, get stuck in, and watch your little one bring the tree to life 🌳💫

📅 Tomorrow
🌿 Sensory play & textures
🥄 Scoop, pour & explore

Let’s get messy and make it green again! 💚

🐣🎨 Easter fun is getting MESSY tomorrow! 🎨🐣

Join us at Make a Mess for a super fun, hands-on Easter decoration painting tray!

There’s something magical about messy play – it’s not just fun (and a little chaotic 😄), it helps children build creativity, confidence, and fine motor skills too! Squishing paint, mixing colours, and getting stuck in is all part of the experience 🖌️💛

So pop on some old clothes, embrace the splatters, and come make something egg-stra special with us 🐰🥚

📅 Tomorrow 10am at Boughton Village Hall
🎨 Paint, play & create
💫 Mess encouraged!

Who’s ready to get messy?! 🙌

Get ready to dig in 🌱✨

Tomorrow at Make a Mess, we’re getting our hands (very!) dirty with our edible soil and carrot planting messy tray 🥕🪴

Little explorers will scoop, pour, mix, and plant their very own “carrots” while discovering textures, smells, and a whole lot of sensory fun. Our edible soil is completely taste-safe—because we all know it will be sampled! 😄

This activity is perfect for building fine motor skills, encouraging imaginative play, and embracing the joy of mess in a safe, creative space.

Come along, get messy, and grow something magical with us 💛
