International Day of Mud

Today over 1,600 architects, community planners, early childhood educators, engineers, environmental educators, environmental activists, health specialists and landscape architects from six continents are members of the World Forum Foundation sponsored Nature Action Collaborative for Children: Alternatives in Action's Home Sweet Home Preschool is proud to be a part of this organization.

On Friday, June 29, 2012, our learning community will joyfully spend a day engaged in messy mud play.  How, one may rightfully ask, is this different from any day at Home Sweet Home?  The intentionality with which we hold this day unites us with hundreds of thousands of children, parents and educators world wide identifying with and advocating for children's Nature Education. Pause, breathe, and when you pick up your child on this day, wear old clothes, stop and crouch in the garden, and make a mud pie.  SMACK!
