What a beautiful day for some outdoor play ☀️☃️!

The children have been enjoying the winter sunshine☀️ and making mud pies in the outdoor area.

Mud kitchens provide good practice of eye hand coordination and help further develop the neural pathways responsible for these movements. So while scooping, mixing, pouring, carrying pots full or mud, transferring materials and serving up mud children are increasing their eye hand coordination and through moving around the different weighted materials, balancing them and having steady control of them, they are strengthening all those important muscles that are still growing.🐛
