Messy Fun
Messy Fun runs sensory play sessions for babies and toddlers at Terenure Business Park on Beechlawn Way, Dublin 6W.

Adults are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and join in rather than worry about the mess. Messy Fun also runs themed sessions around events like Halloween and Easter throughout the year, so it's worth keeping an eye on their social media for what's coming up.

It's a good option for multilingual families, or any family curious about other languages and cultures, looking for a shared activity rather than a formal language class.

Parents in the Ballycragh area looking for a varied, imagination-led activity for their little ones can get in touch for current sessions and age groups.
