Hands-on fun that keeps families in centre

The Messy Club brings hosted craft stations to your centre, where kids make something of their own and every family leaves with a keepsake. Here are some of our favourites, grouped into two collections, and everything can be themed or tailored to your centre.

This is just the start

Don't see it here? We'll make it.

These collections are a taste of what we do, not the full list. We regularly theme, combine and create activities from scratch to suit a centre's calendar, audience and space.

Seasonal themes

School holidays, Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Mother's Day, Lunar New Year and more, with materials and styling to match.

Your brand, your look

Custom patches and charms, campaign colours and branded packaging, like the custom logo patches we made for Lamanna.

Built around your space

From a compact cart in a walkway to a full fenced-off makers' zone, we fit the footprint you have.

Flexible formats

Free drop-in, ticketed sessions, gift-with-purchase or a recurring workshop series. We'll shape it around your goals and budget.

A full house, every time

Built to draw a crowd

Our stations fill fast and stay full. Families settle in, kids get making, and the buzz pulls even more shoppers over to see what's happening.

We run regular kids' workshops at Highpoint, so we know what it takes to run a busy station smoothly in a live centre.

How it works

Easy for your team. Big for your shoppers.

01

Pick your activities

Choose from either collection, or mix the two across a school holiday program or seasonal campaign.

02

We set up the station

Our team arrives with the materials, display and friendly facilitators, and tailors the setup to your space and foot traffic.

03

Families make and stay

Kids create something of their own while parents shop nearby, and every child leaves with a keepsake that carries the memory of your centre home.
