Playing in mud can be a beneficial activity for children. Brain development: The sensory stimulation and increased input from mud play helps form pathways in the brain. Motor skills: Children use their smaller muscles by squishing, squeezing, scooping, mixing, and pouring mud.

Pedagogy in early childhood education takes into account all aspects of a child's development, including their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and creative development. Play is at the heart of all these developmental aspects of pedagogy. #PlayMatters

Play whether it’s adult led or child initiated keeps children busy learning and supports their development, their hands and bodies are active and so are their minds. Fixed it. #PlayMatters
