The ever-popular “Messy Me” returns this year with even more sense-engaging fun. Play in the elementary school gym with different “sensory bins” filled with mediums such as water and sand while searching for dinosaur molds and model fish. Painting with marbles will be a new, exciting activity this time around, as well as balloons filled cornstarch for a squishy, tactile experience that’s sure to entertain. Held from 2:30-4 p.m., Oct. 19, this activity is free and is for children ages 2-5 and their chaperones.

For more information, call 360-378-4953 or visit www.islandrec.org. The office is located at 580 Guard St. and is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
