Adele and her set-ups are absolutely amazing! My daughter had the best time at the messy play session. Everything is beautifully organised and the kids just love it.
What is messExplore our range
Mess is more than just mess...
Mess is colour, creativity, connection and a little bit of beautiful chaos.
It’s the joy of creating something together, the freedom to get messy, and those little moments that become big memories.
Mess is about experiences, community and connection, its about giving children the space to explore, create and be completely themselves, while giving families a chance to slow down, get involved and enjoy it together.
Oh Hi!
I'm Adele
I’m a mum of three under 5 and the face behind Mess.
I get asked all the time if I’m a teacher or have a background in childcare. The answer is no! My background is actually in travel. I worked as a travel agent for eight years, spending most of my 20s travelling the world - a huge passion of mine!
I’ve always loved creating, colour, children and experiences, so Mess felt like the perfect way to bring all of those things together.
When I’m not making a mess, you’ll usually find me outdoors; on a bushwalk, at the beach or chasing an ocean swim but more than that, I love a really strong marg!
Mess is something I’ve built, with a whole lot of love, a little bit of chaos and a big belief that childhood should be colourful, creative and fun.

Booked the parties package for my son's 3rd birthday and it was such a hit. The activities were age-appropriate and the tuff trays are gorgeous.
The art smocks are the best purchase I've made. They actually keep clothes clean during our messiest activities.
