If you feel like playing with mud, don't miss our video 02 MUD PLAY!

Mud play is not only a way to make precious childhood memories, it’s also a great way for children to learn, relax, and let out their creativity.

Mud play allows children to connect and interact with the natural world around them. Like other outdoor activities not only does it get them away from screens, but gives them fresh air, exercise, and sunlight.

Mud play is also a teaching tool that can help children boost creativity, imagination, independent learning, and teamwork. It can also help develop construction, building, and problem-solving skills.

BENEFITS OF MUDDY PLAY

- Provides a space for many feelings to be experienced (wonder, delight, happiness, repulsion, fear…) sometimes all at the same time!

- Inclusive of all children. It allows children to play at their own developmental level.
