As a daycare staff who highly value the purpose of “messy”
activities in developing language, social skills, motor skills and a positive
attitude towards learning, we knew that International Mud Day had to be a big
celebration! This morning, our daycare
director ordered a tractor bucket full of dirt which was dumped on the cement
pad outside our front doors. All you need to add to complete the recipe for fun
is kids and a garden hose!
We enjoyed the rest of our afternoon making some mud pies! The kids had so much fun. These activities were great to build gross and fine motor skills, discover the names of our mud pie plants in their natural environment and build some exciting vocabulary such as squishy, gritty, brown, cold, slimy and goopy!
