🐣🌷 EASTER MESSY PLAY WEEK AT BUMP AND BEYOND! 🌷🐣

Spring is in the air and we’re celebrating with an Easter-themed sensory adventure full of colour, texture and playful discovery 💛

Think pastel scoops, egg hunting, digging, chocolate-scented (taste-safe!) trays and plenty of opportunities for little hands to explore freely.

As always, it’s about so much more than the mess…
Messy play supports:
✨ Sensory development
✨ Fine motor skills
✨ Curiosity and problem-solving
✨ Emotional regulation through hands-on exploration

And for you?
A cosy, welcoming space to slow down, have a chat, and enjoy watching your little one explore without worrying about the clean-up.

No pressure.
No perfectly posed photos.
Just connection, community and joyful little moments.

Whether your little bunny is a cautious explorer or ready to dive beak-first into the fun, there’s something for everyone 🐰💛

Spaces tend to hop away quickly…
Come along and join us on Tuesdays at A1 Football factory, Pontefract, 10-11am.

🌷🌼 SPRINGTIME MESSY PLAY IS HERE! 🌼🌷

The flowers are blooming, the days are getting brighter… and we’re bringing all that fresh spring joy into our messy play sessions 🌿

Think buzzing bees darting around the hives, taste-safe muddy puddles, planting new flowers and lots of scooping, pouring and exploring inspired by the season of new beginnings.
It’s playful.
It’s colourful.
It’s beautifully messy.

And as always, it’s about so much more than what’s in the tray…
Spring messy play supports:
✨ Sensory exploration
✨ Fine motor development
✨ Early language through seasonal themes
✨ Confidence and independence
✨ Calm, regulated little bodies

And for you?
A warm, friendly space to connect with other parents, enjoy a cuppa, and soak up those little moments of wonder — without worrying about the clean-up.

You can celebrate Spring with us on Tuesdays at A1 Football factory, Pontefract, 10-11am. Call 01977 525545.

Get ready for a week inspired by some of our favourite little-screen friends…

We’ll be collecting badges with Dugee, rescuing creatures with the Go Jetters, exploring and counting in our sensory trays, scooping colourful textures, exploring taste-safe messy play and bringing familiar characters to life through hands-on discovery.

And for you?
A space where you can relax, chat, connect with other parents and watch your little one light up when they recognise something they love.

No pressure for them to “perform.”
Just community, creativity and freedom to explore.

These sessions always fill quickly — especially when familiar favourites are involved.

You can join us on Tuesdays at A1 Football factory, Pontefract. From 10-11am. Call 01977 525545.
