About this Event

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 Puketāpapa Local Board.
