Welcome to Messy Play Maleny, a brand new art studio in town dedicated to all things Messy!

Weekly themes

Each week we have an exciting new messy play activity for our messy play artists to experiment and create with! From sensory paint swing week to paint bomb splat, each session is entirely unique and outrageously messy!

Immersive Art Experience

Our Messy Play sessions are immersive art experiences, to fully enjoy the process of creating. We make art, though have no expectations for an outcome. We believe the muckier, the grubbier, the messier the better!

Making Memories

We offer casual sessions, session packages and parties for all ages 18 months+ so you can create art (and memories) with your little ones too! ♡

What is Messy Play?

Messy Play is an exciting tactile and sensory experience that helps people navigate their world and themselves. Being completely process-driven, Messy Play is an opportunity to freely explore art materials and tools without any outcome in mind, the one and only goal is to have fun!

(Ps. You can take any artwork you create home after too to remember just how much fun you had)

The Pros… there are many!

Learning - enhancing language, fine motor skills and creativity

Sense of Self - confidence, self-esteem and independence

Social - turn taking, sharing and friendship building

Cognitive - Problem solving, observations and discoveries, new concepts

Behavioural - increases attention span, releases tension, aids emotional regulation

When we say it’s for Everyone we mean Everyone!

“Every Child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up”

- Pablo Picasso

Most people know that messy play offers one of the best integrated learning experiences that children can have! But did you know that messy play art is important for both little kids and big kids and adults alike in fostering imagination, curiosity, confidence and self discovery?

Come along to Messy Play Maleny for an exhilarating opportunity for the whole family to express without worrying about the mess!

The mucky-er the grubby-er the messy-er the better
