FREE Messy Play - John Moore Reserve - 21 Jan 2026

Messy Rainbows: Messy Play Activation

Get ready to splash, squish, pour, and play! Messy Rainbows’

Who it’s for:

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (around ages 1–5), but little ones of all abilities are welcome.

What to expect:

• A relaxed, supportive space where mess is part of the fun (dress for it!)
• A variety of tactile stations with paint, goo, powders, water and more
• Open-ended play — children lead their own creative exploration
• A focus on sensory development, creativity, and social connection
• Caregiver involvement encouraged (or simply watch the fun unfold)

All materials are non-toxic and set up with safety and inclusivity in mind.

This event is supported by Upper Harbour Local Board.
