Get ready to get messy!

THE Bendigo Toy Library’s annual Messy Play Day is being held tomorrow at their Spring Gully location.

The event promises to be a lot of fun for the kids and a lot of clean-up for parents, but the offer of cheap memberships on the day may soften the blow.

Bendigo Community Toy Library president Jess Widdicombe said she would love to see as many parents and guardians and their kids attend as possible.

“It’s open to anybody,” she said. “It’s a gold coin donation and you can come in between 9.30am and 12pm and have a lot of fun.”

Ms Widdicombe said there will be a bunch of activities to keep the kids entertained.

“We will have a lot of messy, colourful sensory experiences set up,” she said. “We will have coloured spaghetti, coloured rice, magic mud, and buckets full of jelly.

“Basically, anything that’s messy we have got and we are hoping parents will come along and get some ideas that they can use at home.

“I recommend bringing along a change of clothes, or an art smock because the little ones are inclined to get really messy!”

There will also be incentives for parents Ms Widdicombe said.

“There will be membership specials,” she said. “So, if you’re not a member you can come along and get a discounted membership just on this day.

“Come suss out what the library is all about, check out our range and our party packs and see all the benefits.”
