Warning: your house will stay clean… but your kids definitely won’t 😏

Welcome to the ultimate messy play party where slime flies, giggles multiply, and science gets a little out of hand 🧪✨

At The Play Lab, we’ve spent 12 years perfecting the art of messy, magical fun—using natural ingredients so it’s safe, sensory, and seriously satisfying. Think squishy slime, ooey-gooey experiments, and hands-on chaos (the good kind).

🎉 We bring the mess
😂 We bring the laughs
🧼 AND we do the clean-up (yes, really — you’re welcome)

Serving Johannesburg, Pretoria & Cape Town
Packages from R4900
PLUS adorable play dough gift bags included 🎁

Because childhood should be messy… and parents shouldn’t have to scrub it off the walls 😉

Slime obsessed? So are we.

I truly love what I do. Being surrounded by children, creativity, sensory play and laughter is honestly the best job in the world. 💛

This weekend we hosted the most beautiful Slime Party for a fabulous group of 10-year-olds at The Milk Bar in Parkmore — and the joy, creativity and laughter were pure magic! ✨

At Play Lab we bring the party to you in Johannesburg and Pretoria. Our slime parties include a variety of exciting slime stations where kids can mix, stretch, swirl and create their own masterpieces.

✔️ All ingredients are natural
✔️ Non-staining (so parents can relax!)
✔️ Designed for sensory exploration, creativity and FUN

A little about me — I’m the Founder & Director of Play Lab, and this year marks 12 years of messy, creative adventures with children. With branches in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town, we’ve been so lucky to bring sensory play experiences to thousands of kids.

A huge thank you to my incredible team — I couldn’t do this without them — and to all our loyal families and supporters who have been part of our messy play journey over the years.

Want us to bring the slime magic to your party?

📍 We come to you in Johannesburg & Pretoria
🌈 Perfect for birthdays, celebrations & events

What a fantastic week of messy play and science at Parklands College in Cape Town! 🌈🧪

We were welcomed by the warmest, most incredible staff team – thank you for your energy, support and enthusiasm all week long. It’s always such a joy to spend time at a school that is so strong in development, sensory integration and learning through play.

✨ Did you know? Kids don’t just like slime… they’re basically magnetically attracted to it!

There’s something magical about gooey, stretchy, squishy slime — it engages all the senses, sparks creativity, and gives kids the freedom to experiment like real scientists.

When children play with slime...
💜they’re actually exploring textures,
💙cause-and-effect, color mixing, and even basic chemistry…
💛but to them, it just feels like pure FUN.

And that’s exactly why Play Lab Slime Parties are such a hit in Johannesburg!

At The Play Lab, kids get to dive into an all Natural, bright, wiggly world of custom colors and immersive slime fun that make them go, “WOW!”
It’s messy in the best way — and you don’t have to clean up a thing.

Perfect for birthday parties, school events, or just celebrating the kids who can’t get enough slime.

🌈 Stretch it. Squish it. Spark their imagination.

"This is the best day of my life" - said by a little cutie @ Bryanston Primary School

Play Lab spent a week having a messy play blast with the kids and teachers at Bryanston Primary School.
Tons of learning, science and exploration!

Well done for enriching your learners with such important sensory development. We ❤️ schools that are forward thinking and always aiming at expanding their educational tools for the benefit of child education

We can't wait to visit your school again.
