Mud Sculptures

 

"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers,water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade...bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to toll, sand, snakes and hornets; any child who has been deprives of these has been deprived of the best part of...education".

- Luther Burbank

There is nothing more joyous than feeling  mud oozing through our toes . With the right amount of water, mud can be molded, formed, and set out to dry. The children love to use it for mud pies, cakes, meatball making, and sculptures. Give the children the opportunity to get down and get dirty!

  2. Hi Maria,

    Fantastic mud play! I like the "smiley mud cake" and the "angry dog"..really cute. Kids had fun, they're too engrossed with their work.

    Lovely pictures! Thanks for the sharing.

  4. Seriously LOVE those sculptures! Art in dirt, who'd have thought!? I definitely had to feature them in a roundup of dirty, muddy ways to play!
