Are you ready to get messy? Messy Play Matters celebrates the world of squishy, squashy, foamy, slimy and goopy. It's a chance for families to enjoy a day out, play and create as much mess as possible!

Play Matters Australia hosts signature events in key locations and supports groups to deliver their own Messy Play Matters events.

 

All events are held during May each year. Thousands of families attend the events which raise awareness about the importance of play!

 

In 2025, our Messy Play Matters events are proudly supported by the Queensland Family and Child Commission.
