<\/a><\/p>\nA huge thank you to everyone who helped change our area. The children have loved having more space to play and dig. I wonder what muddy creations will be made in our new mud kitchen? In our new mud kitchen this week we have been exploring puddles. \u00a0The rain came and made quite a few large puddles in our garden. We got on our puddle suits and wellies and went to play.<\/p>\n We have been jumping and splashing in the puddles. We have been using new language such \u201csquelchy\u201d \u201csticky\u201d \u201csplash\u201d \u201cjump\u201d and \u201cmucky\u201d to describe the muddy puddles.<\/p>\n We enjoyed the sounds the splashing made as we jumped into the puddles.<\/p>\n Some of the children were inspired by the puddles to work together to make scrumptious \u201cchocolate mud soup\u201d We were also using the mud kitchen to make and investigate more objects. Such as pouring and filling from the tea pots.<\/p>\n We also used the kitchen to cook our creations in the microwave or in the pots and pans\u2026. Can I also ask as a polite reminder if you haven\u2019t brought in a puddle suit or welly boots please do so with your child\u2019s name clearly labelled on them. We have storage for both welly boots and puddle suits if you wish to leave them here. This just ensures your child is always ready and appropriately dressed for our muddy play. The mud kitchen in our Cart Mill garden has recently been reinvented. We have added in a new work top to make all our delicious mud recipes on. \u00a0We have also introduced a seperate mud digging area. This provides a fantastic opportunity for our children to practice their digging skills and also somewhere for them … Continue reading Marvellous Mud<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n
\nDuring stay and play why not come and join us in our mud kitchen but don\u2019t forget your welly boots it can get a little messy. Mud has so many benefits including building strong connections with nature. It also holds microscopic bacteria which scientific studies have shown make you happier. It helps develop a strong immune system and encourages a highly stimulated and active brain function but most of all mud is FUN!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nIt was hard work collecting all the ingredients to make the soup and stir it all together. Let\u2019s hope it tastes as good as it looks\u2026..<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThank you.
\nPlease \u00a0feel free to \u00a0check out our\u00a0mud kitchen floor book for more messy fun experiences. It\u2019s been so much fun in our muddy mud kitchen so far this week. We even have a chance to find a stick to go fishing in the puddle. I wonder what adventurers we will have in our mud kitchen next\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
