International Mud Day 2021
It’s okay to get dirty!
Our toddlers had the fun of getting messy in mud. They celebrated International mud day by squishing and squeezing their way into learning more about nature.
Playing in the mud has many health and developmental benefits for young children, including healthier immune systems, emotional health and creativity, along with the development of cognitive skills through their senses.
Research says, when children have the opportunity to get outside and touch the dirt and play, they expose their immune system to bacteria that helps decrease their responses to allergies potentially.
This year the preschoolers enjoyed making various articles using mud, resulting in development of motor skills.
