That we can squish and squelch as much as we like but that it will just wash off! The best muddy activity I’ve ever been a part of was building a mud castle. It was all initiated by the children. The children had been having fun collecting stones from around the woods in a wheelbarrow, they did this for weeks just enjoying pushing the heavy wheelbarrow around and balancing as they steered around obstacles. One day the contents of the wheelbarrow was dumped by accident into the mud pit. This is where their play really extended. The children began to use the mud to join stones together. Play and discovery progressed over the weeks and they made a castle using the mud to join the stones. Then they dug a moat, they used logs for bridges and further stones for dragons eggs. As the weeks carried on the weather changed and it rained for weeks. The children designed ways to keep the eggs dry by making a cover and diverting the water using channels and making mud baths which they enjoyed sitting in! This play carried on for months and they learnt so much along the way with each group of children (we have a different group of children attend each day of the week) having a different focus for their play. Small details such as flags and ladders were added and the castle walls grew taller and taller. A lot of learning, all from free play in a mud pit!

Favourite bit of kit: water! Ease yourself in gently if new to it all – make potions/stews by adding just leaves/flowers/stones/bark/seeds … or food colouring! Kids can find dry mud (scraped or dug with a teaspoon) to add and sprinkle in as they (and you) feel ready! Scatter the bicarbonate of soda on a flat surface and you can drip acid on it to write messages or make shapes. This is a great way to make sure that children don’t end up with anything unsuitable in their mud pie play. It also adds another level to the game, and plenty more opportunities for learning.Medley S.R. & Eisner, T. (1996): Sodium: a male nuptial gift to its offspring. PNAS 93(2): 809–813. PDF fulltext Puddles are a source of recreation for children, who often like jumping in puddles as an "up-side" to rain.

Muddy puddles, and the pleasures of splashing mud in them, are a repeated theme in the children's animation Peppa Pig, to the extent of selling character-branded wellington boots. It doesn’t need to be more than the things laid out on the lawn, then just add some prices and start selling!

Mud kitchens are great, but they’re also expensive and not everyone has the space to dedicate a permanent corner to one. The key is to create an invitation to play, to make your child feel free to get involved and to use their imagination. Even the most elaborate mud kitchen won’t get a child to play if they don’t feel free to enjoy it in a messy carefree way.

Top Tip number 1 – “Suitable Clothing”. We wear Puddle Suits and wellington boots. These enable us to play outside whatever the weather and protect children’s clothing as much as possible. Children are not afraid to take part in activities as the worry about keeping their clothes clean has gone. DeVries, P.J. & Walla, T.R.

If the play is in my garden I always provide compost from the garden centre rather than leaving the children to dig up bits of garden – this is because I feel cats, foxes, and certain wildlife poo anywhere, and it is a garden where wild life is welcome, and I feel it is healthier for the children that way, also more reasonable for plant and animal life.

Retrieved November 23, 2010.My best advice for mud play is start simple and take the time to actually watch how children explore and use the space. This way, ideas for resources, displays and activities will all naturally come from them and can be built up over time. After a while they decide to run inside and show Daddy Pig; who teases them by trying to guess just what the two of them were doing. After he guesses, he then suggests to them that they should get cleaned up before Mummy Pig finds out about the mess. Peppa then asks if they can all go out to play and Daddy Pig agrees. After cleaning, Peppa, George, Mummy, and Daddy all change into their boots and head outside to play in the mud. They all jump in it until Daddy Pig falls over; momentarily worrying them all until Peppa points out it is only mud, and they all start to laugh. Puddles commonly form in potholes in a dirt road, or in any other space with a shallow depression and dirt. In such cases, these are sometimes referred to as mud puddles, because mud tends to form in the bottoms, resulting in dirtied wheels or boots when disturbed.
