Mucky Ducks is the first and original entirely edible messy play specifically designed for babies aged 2- 18months. Events take place once a month across a variety of community venues with two age groups, Mucky Ducklings 2-6 months and Mucky Ducks 6- 18months. At weekend and school holiday Mucky Ducks events we do offer additional activities that appeal to older children too. And if you love what we do, why not book us for a private event or birthday party!
An Introduction to Messy Play for pre weaned babies.
2- 6 months
Best for those starting their weaning journey or still in the oral sensory stage.
6- 18 months
Did you know there are over 9,000 nerve endings in a babies foot? We will be dipping those toes into lots of different baby safe textures, as well as rolling around, practising our tummy time and splashing in them too! Each baby will have the opportunity to have their footprint taken which is turned into a duckling on canvas for you to take home.
Messy play materials will be entirely edible. Food will be nut, egg, soya and dairy free in case babies have allergies that are sensitive to touch, you are not yet aware of.
After the messy play part, each baby will have a bubble bath. Once babies are clean they can lay in the ‘Duck Pond’ (a sensory play space) while the adults are served hot drinks and fruity flapjack.
Over or under 6 months is just a guide, the rule is- if your child has not begun their weaning journey then Mucky Ducklings is best. If your child has started their weaning journey then Mucky Ducks is best.
Experience the joy of Mucky Ducks – we’re not just about Messy Play; we’re your all-you-can-eat buffet! Each month, we unveil a new theme with a corresponding seasonal menu, carefully crafted to introduce kids to both familiar and new foods. Research indicates that exposing children to diverse flavours early on reduces fussy eating and encourages healthier choices in adulthood. Let Mucky Ducks be your guide through the weaning journey, providing inspiration for home experimentation. Our menus feature a rotating selection of seasonal herbs, beans, pulses, grains, as well as an enticing array of fruits and vegetables. Dive into a world where every meal is a playful exploration of tastes and textures!
Mucky Ducks is a great way to introduce food to your baby.
All fresh fruits and vegetables are prepared as finger foods or cut so small they can be swallowed whole. All beans are blended. Bread is served as breadcrumbs & breadsticks. Rice, lentils, pasta, couscous and spaghetti are simply cooked. Chia seeds are always soaked overnight and oats served raw or cooked.
All ingredients used are sugar, nut, egg, soya and dairy free. We are vegan friendly. We can also cater for specific fruit or vegetable allergies by using an alternative.
We can only cater for wheat and/ or gluten allergies for party hire.
Food is selected for quality as Mucky Ducks would like to give children the opportunity to experience the best tastes and textures, sights and smells that food has to offer. Each event has a different menu, so far some of our favourites have been; seaweed, Tumeric, kale and fresh basil. Mucky Ducks selects seasonal foods wherever possible and any remaining food is composted.
During weekend & school holiday events we add additional activities that may appeal to older children so that sensory seekers and older siblings can enjoy too. This includes things like an edible painting wall and creating station.
Celebrate your little one's birthday with a delightful twist! Indulge their love for messy play or food with our 6 delectable tuff tray creations, water station and Mucky Ducks cleaning station. As the party winds down, we offer children's cleaning stations and bubbles to have them refreshed and ready in their party attire. For older guests, we introduce a creating station and an edible painting wall. The messy play party, lasting 45 minutes to 1 hour, can accommodate up to 25 guests at your chosen venue. Opt for themed experiences like Farmyard Friends, Dino World, Under the Sea, Magical Lands, or Zoo Keeper, or discuss your specific theme or character ideas with us. Rest assured, we can accommodate all allergies – just let us know.
