ABOUT US
The Messy Folk playgroup is a gentle introduction to learning for ages 12monthe-5yrs with a primary focus on Messy Play.
We provide a variety of sensory based learning opportunities for children which are all heavily inspired by nature.
Each session offers children with 4-7 intentional learning stations including; fizzy mud, potion play, safe slime, loose parts play, sensory rice and more.
Our hope is to provide simple yet meaningful play opportunities for children, supporting their development and encouraging a deep appreciation for the natural environment.
