Welcome to the World of PRIVATE Messy Play!Duration: 60 minutesAge Group: 6 months – 5 yearsOur Private Messy Play sessions offer a relaxed, hands-on sensory experience designed just for your family or group of friends. Perfect for children aged 6 months to 5 years, these sessions provide a safe, welcoming environment where little ones can explore freely at their own pace.Your private session includes a selection of floor-level tuff trays filled with edible, child-safe, gluten-free, and common-allergen-free sensory materials, all thoughtfully chosen to spark curiosity, creativity, and joyful discovery. Whether you have tiny explorers who are just learning to sit up or enthusiastic preschoolers ready to scoop, pour, build, and imagine, every child engages in a way that suits their personality.Some children jump right in, others approach slowly, and a few may simply observe at first — all of these are perfectly natural ways to play. There is no “right” way to take part. This is a space for exploration, imagination, and following their own rhythm.As the name suggests, things will get messy, and that’s the magic of it! Parents and carers are encouraged to relax, join in, and embrace the playful chaos. If your child feels unsure at first, get messy alongside them; your presence and reassurance make all the difference, and before long they’ll be giggling, experimenting, and fully immersed in the fun.Private Messy Play is a wonderful opportunity for your child to develop confidence, sensory awareness, and creativity, and for your family or group to share meaningful moments of play, laughter, and connection.So roll up your sleeves, enjoy the freedom to get messy, and watch your children’s imaginations unfold.Benefits
