Little Mess Club

Creative Play Workshops for Toddlers + Their Grown-Ups
Hosted by My Good Brain – Liberty Station, San Diego

Welcome to the Little Mess Club—where toddlers can make big messes and even bigger memories.

Designed especially for children ages 18 months to 4 years, this playful workshop series encourages hands-on creativity, sensory exploration, and connection between caregivers and little ones. Each 45-minute session features a themed art activity that’s developmentally appropriate, messy-in-a-good-way, and all about the process—not the final product.

Whether we’re painting with bubbles, sculpting with squishy clay, or splashing colors with nature brushes, your child will build:

  • Fine motor skills

  • Emotional awareness

  • Language through art play

  • A love of creativity
