Dig into mud play! Mud is a wonderful, engaging medium for sensory play and learning. It can also be good for you-the microscopic bacteria in mud can help stimulate the immune system and in turn help prevent allergies.
The rich sensory experience of mud lends itself to wonderful art activities, scientific experiments, exploration of properties of matter, physical skills of balance, strength and motor development and playing and learning with mud is open-ended and stimulates creativity.
