A BIG THANK YOU to all our little messy monsters.

What a lovely morning of spooky, squishy Halloween messy play at Haugh of Urr Village Hall.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the wild, windy and stormy weather to join us today.
I hope you all got home safely and enjoyed the rest of your afternoon.
It was so lovely to see lots of new faces alongside some of our wonderful regular messy crafters.
Thank you all for coming along, getting creative and making it such a fun morning.

Today's session has definitely given me some food for thought… I think we need MORE family messy play events.

WATCH THIS SPACE, Christmas is just around the corner, and I've already got some festive, messy, sensory ideas bubbling away.

Would you like to see more regular family messy play sessions, Let me know in the comments.

October Holiday Messy Adventures
What a fantastic holiday we've had so far. From autumn colours and Halloween creations to lots of messy, sensory exploring meeting Ranger J from Kingdom Of Creatures

A massive THANK YOU to Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway for inviting Wee Messy Crafters along to their wonderful Family Fun Days for parents, carers and their neurodivergent children.

It's been such a lovely project to be part of, meeting amazing families and helping create welcoming, inclusive spaces where children can explore, play and just be themselves. Fingers crossed for more events like these in the future.

We've loved visiting new venues and meeting new faces across the region. It's definitely got me thinking about some exciting possibilities for future messy play sessions.

One last stop tomorrow at Dumfries.
Here's a little peek at what we've been up to over the holidays.

Thank you to everyone who's welcomed us and joined in the messy fun. Hope to see you all again soon.

Thank you so much to Beatz Dumfries for inviting Messy Crafters to be part of your Kids tent this year.
I had such a wonderful time over the weekend.
I absolutely loved creating, making, and setting up a beautiful activity station for everyone to enjoy. A huge thank you to all the wonderful families who came along to craft, play, and say hello. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces, as well as lots of new ones too.

Saturday selection of activities, including:
Crown making
Junk modelling
Our Tuff tray Theme:
Farm scene
Antarctic animals
Jungle play
Castles and dragons
And of course our fabulous Water play station.

A special thank you to Boyle whose wonderful storytelling and singing were inspired by our tuff trays, bringing our play themes to life and delighting the children. It was so lovely to see the little ones being entertained while waiting in the face-painting queue with the fabulous Paint & Sparkle team.

I hope everyone managed to keep hold of their stickers from Saturday, unfortunately, we ran out of crowns crafts and stickers, so we weren't able to continue those activities on Sunday.

Thank you again to everyone who came to create, make, and play with us. Me and the girls had such a fantastic day.
