# Mud, Glorious Mud!

  ![Image of Mud, Glorious Mud!](https://files.schudio.com/lilycroftnursery/images/blog/DSCF4031.JPG)  27 June 2019   [Blog](https://lilycroftnurseryschool.com/blog/category/blog)

***Today we celebrated International Mud Day!***

***Our children came kitted out in old clothes and wellies ready to join in lots of messy play here at Lilycroft Nursery.***

***Our nursery staff encouraged children to shake off modern restrictions, changing “don’t get dirty” to a much more positive “get dirty” and allowed them to have a physical connection to the natural world around them. The children were allowed to explore and discover whilst playing outside in the mud kitchen.***

***If you would like to make your own Mud Kitchen at home then take a look at this free booklet [here](https://www.muddyfaces.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Making_a_mud_kitchen_2019.pdf).***
