Today I put a jug of water and some pots of mud outside in the mud kitchen, and left them to see what the children did with them.
Once they found the mud and water the fun began! We had cupcakes, porridge, chocolate cake and pies. There was lots of mixing, measuring and problem solving while the children made their creations. We also had some pretend tasting, apparently the mud cakes were yummy!
It might have been raining this morning but, it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits!
Have a fantastic weekend

One of our children told me this morning was “Super Fun!” He was right, we had a fantastic morning out in the rain playing with the water and mud!
4 of our boys had been playing with the diggers and decided to add some water to the mud to “make a big massive flood”. There was much discussion about how they were going to transport the water from the water butt to where they were playing, and the boys decided to use the diggers and trucks they had been playing with to do this. After a while one of the children realised that if he used a pot from the mud kitchen he could transport more water to make the flood bigger. The boys then sat in their flood playing with their diggers and trucks.
They demonstrated fantastic imaginative and problem solving skills.
