The Hinterland has a new and exciting art studio dedicated to kids doing what kids do best – making a mess! …and have a tonne of fun in the process.
Messy Play Maleny is the brainchild of abstract artist, and mum to three-year old Olympia, Anna Searing, who worked with her partner, Marcus, to create the perfect space for kids (and even adults) to fully express without worrying about the mess! Having a lack of space to do messy play with Olympia at home inspired Anna to seek a more permanent solution for families, in creating a space dedicated to getting messy!
According to Anna, “Every mess created at Messy Play Maleny is a masterpiece”, and peeking into the colour filled studio, it is clear that every wall is a canvas and that breaking the traditional rules when creating art is wholeheartedly encouraged.
With the benefits of messy play for children’s learning and development well-documented, Messy Play Maleny is a wonderful new concept that is already being embraced by many families in the Hinterland community and beyond. With different themed sessions such as paint pistols, sensory paint swings and a giant paint palette, as well as casual sessions and session packages on offer, a visit to this family-run art studio is a must!
