🌳🔨 Some GREAT tool use from our little Muddy Feeters this morning! We had LOTS of fun doing Hapa Zome or "Leaf bashing!" to create our own prints! We also used the wooden mallet to help chop wood for our campfire! The water play and giant marshmallows were also a BIG hit! 🔨🌳
🌳 Next week will be ALL about the mud! We will be taking part in The Muddy Puddle Walk to raise money for Save the Children as well as having lots of mud- themed Muddy Feet fun! This session is available to book as an individual session as in other weeks, if you'd like to come along and see what we get up to, as well as raising money for a great cause, come and join us! If you are a regular Muddy Feeter you will hopefully have taken a sponsorship form home with you, but this can also be downloaded from the Save the Children website and I will bring some spare copies along next week!

🌳 WEDNESDAY 29th MAY 10.30-15.30 WILDCRAFT ADVENTURE FULL DAY for children aged 6-10. Inspired by video games like “Minecraft” our Wildcraft Adventure Day takes many of the things kids love about their favourite video games and transforms them into an outdoor experience that kids will love . Over the day, children will be set a number of challenges, where they have to work together, learn outdoor skills and earn points along the way. Players will light their own campfire, “mine” for resources and use tools to complete the challenges

🌳All sessions must be pre-booked on our website -www.muddyfeetoutdoors.co.uk ... See more

🌧🌳 Well done Muddy Feeters! Today was our first really soggy session and you were all fantastic! 🌧🍃 We used the rain to make our own watercolour pictures, we collected raindrops (and especially enjoyed collecting the water we poured off our tarps to use in the mud kitchen!) We had a muddy walk around the woods, jumping in puddles and had lots of fun with the big bubbles!! 🌧🍃 Rainy days don't mean indoor days here at Muddy Feet! ... See more

🌧🌳 Remember those waterproofs today Muddy Feeters! 🌧🍃 We will be having lots of water play and fun in the rain today! The tarp will be up and campfire lit earlier to keep us warm! 🌧🌳

🌻🌳 A lovely morning spent exploring dandelions with our little Muddy Feeters! 🌻🌳🌻
We've been painting with them, playing with dandelion playdoh, bashing them to make prints and making dandelion cakes! 🌳🌻
We have a few places in our sessions on WED and FRI this week so please TAG and SHARE our sessions with any friends with little explorers!

🌳🌻🌳🌻 We hope everyone has had a great bank holiday weekend! Here at Muddy Feet HQ it's been birthday party central (but this time for our own Muddy Feeter!) 🌳🌻🌳🌻 We are looking forward to this week's sessions when we will be looking at and learning all about dandelions!! If the rain forecast this week does arrive, we'll be having lots of rain play and investigation instead! 🌧🌧
As well as our usual Muddy Feet fun! Hammock swinging, mud kitchen cooking and campfire lighting!
🌳🌻 We still have some spaces in this week's sessions TUES/WED/FRI mornings- and if you find some dandelions on your way, bring them along!! ... See more

🌳⛆🌳 People often ask what we do when it rains, do we cancel our sessions or go inside? The answer is we put up our tarps, put on our waterproofs and wellies (sometimes after discovering what it feels like without waterproofs first if you are anything like my own little Muddy Feeter!) Get a hot drink and then we crack on with our session! We had a lovely morning today and definitely lived up to our name (think we had Muddy feet, hands, heads even!!) We did a brilliant job of finding the ribbons and made our own May baskets. Some of us braved the barefoot walk and we made some great Green Man sculptures on the tree! We also had some FANTASTIC fire lighting from some of our little ones and discovered that one of our littlest members is a BIG fan of the fire! 🌳🌳 We had some new Muddy Feeters join us for the first time today as well as some familiar faces and everyone did a BRILLIANT job! 🌳🌳
⛆🌳 It was great to hear some of our parents say how coming along to a group like ours encourages them to go outside on a day when they normally would have stayed inside!! 🖒🖒🌳🌳
🌳If you have any photos from today's sessions that you are happy to share (of your own child) we would love to see them!🌳 ... See more
