I can't tell you how excited I am about these weekly themes. Because it's not just about the theme, but also about the super fun elements each one includes and it's going to make for some epic fun!

Book your spots asap.

We. Are. Launching!!

I have been dreaming of this for the longest time and we're finally here. And the timing could not be better. Starting weekly workshops in December means that I get to meet and play with all the little ones who are home from school for the summer holiday. Mommies and grannies, this is your chance to get out and spend quality time with those busy bodies, and the best part is that weather won't stop us. I have some really fun themes lined up for this very special holiday season.

Book your spot soon because I have a feeling slots will be filling up fast. Email themesscollectiveza@gmail.com or Whatsapp on 0646575223.

It's here 🥳

I'm finally launching party packages and I'll start taking bookings for a few limited spots in 2022 and full swing in 2023. Witbank and Middelburg areas.

Parties can be booked for any event or birthday party, ages 0-6. I customize the elements and play trays to your party theme to make it even more magical. In the new year I'll also be adding a few extras to make the party expereince even better.

This is one of the things I was most excited about adding to workshops. And I built it myself too 😁 just look how the paint texture and colours pop 💥🌈

We had so much fun at our first public appearance today. Getting to meet mommies and all our new little friends! Seeing my work and ideas come to life gave me a load of feelings today ♡

This was such a blast that we were left wanting more, so we decided on the spot that we'll do another round of messy play at the market on Friday afternoon. I hope we'll see you there.

Why though? Making me work for it 🙃

Many times we use sensory play or home activities to allow a child to play and learn at their own pace and explore in their own way. But we can also see this as an opportunity to connect with our children. Dive into their world, get down on their level, learn how they love to play and expereince the play opportunities through their eyes. In a busy world, we need to set time aside to fully connect with our children

If you have more than one child and you'd prefer to bring them to one workshop instead of seperately to their respective age groups, we are more than happy to fit them in regardless of their age. And as a bonus, we'll even let babies under 9 months old join for free with their older siblings. You can never start sensory fun too early 😉

Want to see what we do in person before signing up? Then come and say hi at one or both of these market days. Your little one will even get the chance to try out some messy bins or join in a 20 minute zoom-in workshop. We would love to meet all of you!

Please share the love by spreading the word of our amazing business bringing messy play to town.

I am beyond happy to reveal our rebranded website, our workshop prices and group time slots. I am putting so much love and many, many hours of work into every small detail so that I can focus on all the fun stuff once we officially start doing workshops regularly.

With our launch date getting closer (soon to be revealed), I think it's time I told you just how valuable you and your little ones are to us. There is so much more behind the purpose of this business than just messy play.

Our Vision
To create a safe space for children and their caregivers to connect, explore and play freely

Our Mission
To nurture and encourage every child's natural curiosity and tendency to get messy without limitations. Everywhere children go, they are limited to some extent with rules and boundaries. We aim to provide a safe and loving space where children are allowed to indulge in their desire to play however they see fit, no matter the mess. This freedom will encourage and build on a variety of other skills such as:
Sensory sensitivity - your child being exposed to different sensory experiences will teach them over time to tolerate textures, tastes and smells all around them
Social skills - playing in an environment where no pressure is added, young children may learn to connect with those around them and figuring out how to play along
Natural skills - your child may discover a natural skill or passion they have, whether it be technical like building structures or creative like painting
Building bonds - by spending this quality time together, whoever the parent or caregiver may be that joins the workshop, the child strengthens their bond with them by spending this dedicated time together through play
Filling your own cup - parents or caregivers may choose to use our workshops as an opportunity to unwind, connect with other parents, and fill their own cup again

Our Values
To love every child that we meet
To be kind and supportive to every parent and caregiver
To put the same amount of love and passion into every workshop
To never stop having fun
