Buckets of mud and water, lots of watering cans and pots, and rubber ducks? Must be Mud Pie Mayhem!

 

Yesterday was the first of our summer holiday activities for the under 5's - Mud Pie Mayhem!

We've got a variety of activities for kids of all ages over the whole of the summer... On Wednesday mornings (starting at 11 am) it's all about the under 5's - getting mucky, messy and have fun! The best thing is we are tidying up so the kids and parents don't have to!

We had a great day yesterday - the kids had a great time making potions, playing with the water and making mud pies!

  How cute is she!

 

 

  Playing with water and making potions...

 

 

  The finished potion!

 

We had a great time - we hope the kids did too!

Kids should get the chance to get close to nature and at this young age being giving the chance to touch and play with natural objects is really important - and to know that nature is not scary or dangerous, and it's ok to get messy and have fun is something that all kids should know.

 

Get the kids out this summer - explore and get muddy!
