Books, Sensory Play & Bubbles (ages 1-5) in Pleasantville

The Tiny Mess Club Pleasantville · Pleasantville

Start with a book… end with a bubble party… and make a joyful mess in between! This class is the perfect blend of calm and chaos—for kids who love a good book and a great sensory bin. We’ll kick things off with a cozy storytime, then head straight into hands-on sensory play at our 8 themed stations–a Tiny Mess Club staple. From scooping and pouring to squishing and swirling, each station invites kids to explore, create, and get gloriously messy. And just when you think it can’t get any better… we roll out the bubble party to close out class with pure magic. This class is designed for kids ages 1–5 and is a grownup-and-me experience—so come ready to play, connect, and maybe leave with a little paint on your clothes. Come for the story, stay for the mess, and leave in a cloud of bubbles and giggles. Make-Up Classes: Please cancel at least 2 hours before class.
