Great news Southsiders! Leave the good clothes at home because we’ve got a brand new sessional messy play space in the area and it is GLORIOUS.

Located in the beachside suburb of Chelsea, Little Buttons offers unstructured and open ended messy play sessions for preschoolers (though all ages are welcome). Once you make your way through the gated entrance, grab a smock and start getting messy!

For the creatives, there are multiple painting stations, an acrylic wall for creating masterpieces with shaving cream and a collage table complete with glue and colourful bits and bobs.

For those who enjoy engaging in sensory play, there are multiple stations thoughtfully dotted throughout the generous space that encourage those little hands to dig, scoop and squish to their hearts content. Filled with kid friendly materials like oats, jelly, rice and slime, this is where Mamma’s little 2 year old spent all of his time.

Offering two 1 hour sessions a day during the week (and open for party bookings on weekends), Little Buttons also offer a low sensory session on Tuesdays for those who benefit from a taking things down a notch.

Bookings are essential as each session’s numbers are capped to ensure quality of play.
