Messy Munchkins: A New Program for Preschoolers

Calling All Preschoolers Who Like to Get Messy!

Messy Munchkins is a new preschool program sponsored by the Friends of the Library and offered each month at the Zionsville Branch of the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library. We begin by reading a story that incorporates the theme of the month, and then children are free to explore six hands-on stations. This program helps children gain developmental skills while getting messy and having fun!

Messy Munchkins also encourages the development of:

  • Pre-literacy Skills
  • Emerging STEM Skills
  • Fine Motor Skills
  • Gross Motor Skills
  • Social Skills
  • Confidence
  • Decision Making
  • Creative Problem Solving

Check the Library Event Calendar for upcoming sessions. Registration is now open for the Nature Play Days Messy Munchkins session held outside on the 5th Street lawn on Monday, June 3, at 2 PM. We’ll have fun with paint, sidewalk chalk, mud, sand, water and bubbles! Join Ms. Anna and Miss Charity for the fun! Dress for mess!
