Pre-school had so much fun playing in the mud kitchen today!
They enjoyed filling and emptying all sorts of different containers with soil and water and showed really good control when pouring it back out again. Using wooden spoons they mixed their, ” Dinner” and ” Potions”, helped each other use large spades to dig into the mud and took turns to use the hose. The children liked watching how the water splatted the soil and trying to spray the water over the staff with the hose, they laughed lots when they got us wet!
