What is Messy Play™?
Messy Play is a style of play in which children get to take the lead, explore and learn with their hands, and experience a wide variety of textures and materials. It focuses on play-based learning and allows children to learn at their own speed.
Messy Play helps build fine motor control, problem-solving skills, foundational math and science concepts, language and vocabulary, social-emotional skills, and so much more!
Messy Play Kits are STEAM* activity kits that help you provide sensory play without having to stress over the how and what. They provide all materials and instructions necessary so you can enjoy the play with your kids!

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.
