SANTA CRUZ, CA, October 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Messy Play Parties, a fully mobile event service, has expanded its operations to deliver sensory play stations across the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz County. Founded in 2014 by Robin Imholte, a former preschool teacher turned early childhood sensory play champion, the company has been known for its curated science and art activity boxes sent to homes nationwide. Now, Messy Play Parties is shifting its focus to bring that same engaging and messy play directly to local communities.
Robin Imholte, the founder and Chief Mess Maker, believes that everyone needs more play in their lives.
The mobile party service offers fully customizable sensory themes tailored for toddlers to pre-teens, and even adults. The traveling team can customize parties with interactive favorites like messy play activities, slime stations, and tie-dye. Each mobile event is guided by a trained staff of play experts who understand how to channel boundless energy into creative, open-ended exploration that secretly boosts kids' fine motor skills and cognitive development, while reminding adults to stop working and have some child-like fun.
Messy Play Parties is currently taking bookings for birthday celebrations, corporate team bonding days, and weekday school or library workshops across all cities in Santa Cruz County and the greater SF Bay Area. Parents and others shopping for holiday gifts for kids can grab the final remaining physical stock from the e-commerce store while supplies last through December 2026.
Imholte said.
The expansion of Messy Play Parties is part of a broader effort to bring high-energy, premium sensory events directly to local neighborhoods. The company is stepping into the spotlight to give local families what they really want: stress-free, smile-inducing entertainment. As the online shop winds down through December 2026, Messy Play Parties is poised to become the go-to provider of sensory play experiences in the region.
