Many children investigate the natural world more fully in summer, building their understanding of natural materials and phenomena through small moments and large.

Jumping into water

Pushing stones
 
 
 
 
 

Moving water with tools

Finding a small animal
 
 
 
 
 

Harvesting an early crop

 
Climbing a tree
 
 
 
 
 
 
Wondering if it will rain, feeling the heat, and mixing to make mud!
June 29^th, is International Mud Day, recognized by the Nature Action Collaborative for Children, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children, among many organizations.
Do you have plans to celebrate, and then investigate, the nature of mud?
