Making magic on International Mud Day
|
International Mud Day 2020 is next Monday 29 June and is a great way to celebrate the wonderful sensory experience of... you guessed it MUD. Luckily for us in New Zealand, International Mud Day happens slap bang in the middle of winter so there is usually plenty of water around which makes it easy to mix up a batch of the good stuff.
International Mud Day traces its origins to the 2009 World Forum for Early Childhood Care and Education in Belfast when two members of the Nature Action Collaborative for Children, Gillian McAuliffe from Western Australia and Bishnu Bhatta from Nepal discussed the challenges children faced when playing in mud in each other's context.
