10 Messy Ways For Kids To Have Fun
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Maytag. All opinions are 100% mine.
When I become a mother I fully underestimated the amounts of messes my kids would make. Other than messy faces after diner and spilling of the occasional glass of juice I figured the messes would be pretty manageable. Pretty naive right!? Three kids later I know that kids can make even the cleanest activities a complete disaster, can you say bath time!?
Since moving to Alaska, my little family has been introduced to a whole new level of messy. From rainy days to muddy hikes we have been having a blast with all of our new experiences. Let’s face it, a lot of the time getting messy=having fun. Our current favorite way to get messy? Picking raspberries. Alaska is home to thousands and thousands of wild berry bushes. It is amazing. Our friends have raspberry bushes that run along their fence and they just can’t keep up with all of the delicious ripe berries! We headed over there this weekend to help them out.
From grass stains to accidentally kneeling and even sitting in some fresh raspberries, the picking process what quite a mess and they still had to be eaten! It is amazing how much damage those little berries can do!
Thank goodness for Maytag’s newest Top Load Washer & Dryer pair! It is better built because they are designed, engineered and assembled in America and have the power to clean big league stains. Because my kids love to get filthy while playing, we have to have the heavy duty cleaning power to back it up!
Maytag and MLB are teaming up to bring fans new programs that enhance their connection to America’s national pastime, baseball, by asking the fans to submit their own “Filthy Plays”. Here are a 10 ways my kids LOVE to get filthy:
- Playing Baseball.
- Playing in the rain.
- Building mud villages.
- Digging for bugs.
- Playing at the beach.
- Going for a hike.
- Playing Soccer.
- Art Projects.
- Sidewalk chalk.
- Dirt bike riding.

I let me kids get messy without even thinking twice about dirty laundry. I know my washer and dryer will get their clothes clean, plus I use Norwex and that stuff is amazeballs!
My kids are the messiest kids on the planet. They get messy just by sitting down doing absolutely nothing, I don’t get it. They wake up messy, they’re just messy kids lol.
Yeah, kids don’t need instructions on how to get messy. I am glad, something is out there is on our side – like Maytag
We have 5 kids and someone is always making a mess on their clothing! These washing systems sound fabulous!
I know I am like most parents…I have kids who like to get dirty! This contest from Maytag sounds super fun!
My kids love to get messy! They love the outdoors and would play with rain, mud and sand.
Kids seem to find the best ways to get dirty, especially their clothes. You need a really good washer and dryer to keep up with them.
My kids are so messy. I could use a ew washer and dryer. My dryer isn’t drying well anymore.
Eating is definitely when my kids make the biggest mess! Whether its accidentally getting food on their shirt or knocking over their plate, there always seems to be some kind of mess to deal with!
Baseball was always a big one for us. I have no idea why they decided to make the uniforms bright white!
These are all great ways to get messy! I love doing all of them with my daughter!
When my kids were younger they always got messy playing outside. I was always getting grass stains out of their clothes.
My kids have mastered getting messy! There is always new stains appearing on their clothes.
My kids worst mess maker is definitely mealtime. Ever since they learned to self feed my laundry woes have been ever present :-).
These are all way we have enjoyed getting messy. It’s a good thing we have a good washer and dryer!
As a mom to a son, I don’t think it takes much for him to get messy! These are all things we enjoy though.
My daughter loves playing in the mud, and loves eating fruit and getting it everywhere! She has a very creative imagination, so there’s always plenty of messes to clean up, especially laundry.
I have given up trying to control the mess. LOL. That washer pair sounds amazing. I entered to win, so fingers crossed
My son usually gets his messiest when we go to the park. Other than that it’s any time ketchup is involved in his meal, haha.
We practically live at the beach in the summer and it’s definitely dirty! Very dirty!
My kids are professional mess makers! They cant take a new outfit and make it unrecognizable with their stain super powers.
We love to get messy in our house!. Get really get into projects and have a ton of fun! I could use this washer to help with all the messy clothes LOL
The best times of my life involved dirt. I was either at the creek or helping in the garden or just tooling around the countryside.
I don’t have kids. However I do remember that the best times I ever had as a child involved dirt!
My kids get messy from a lot of things. Eating certain foods is one of them as well as being outdoors. We have chickens and ducks outside, so they can get messy playing outdoors a lot!
