Hi, I'm Robin

the maker behind Messy Play Kits.

My experience teaching preschool in one of California’s top laboratory schools inspired me to start a company to support families at home.


Kids learn best through play, but many families struggle to find the activities, recipes, materials and time to do the projects! 


I created Messy Play Kits to alleviate this frustration and allow parents to enjoy the time they have with their kids. It combines my expertise in child development and sensory play with my love for all things colorful and messy (and washable!).


All my products are made by hand in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California.
