Hi Victoria
Thank you. I found the workshop interesting and useful.

Some things I will take with me:
*Plant mint and other plants that the children can cut to use when making mud cakes etc.
*Our centre has just purchased a beautiful mud kitchen and picnic table/bench, I like the idea of adding stumps and knobs, this will add character to the mud kitchen area
*Asking families to donate pots and pans – great idea, cost effective and re using, looking after the environment. Children may have the opportunity to explore various cultures within our community as families may use different cooking equipment.
*Children to be prepared and have appropriate clothing and footwear to play in mud. Spare clothes to change in.
*Blackboards and signs

I would love some information to share with families about the Value of children playing with mud. As I feel the families will need to be educated.

Thank you again
