Mud Cafe

Today we had a mud cafe... and it was even more fun than it sounds! We made cakes with sprinkles, pies and even chocolate smoothies!

Set up was easy. I threw some odds and ends from the kitchen (dried pasta, beans, bird food) into our outdoor fruit tray and brought out our bin of dirt.
W was too excited to wait until set up was complete so he began exploring as soon as he saw the picnic table set up!




When setting up our invitation to play, I added some water to our dirt bin. I left another big bucket of water available at the end of the table. Soon we had a bin full of wonderful sticky mud!  

Some of the tots decided to add some of the dried pasta and beans to the bucket of clean water... other tots used it to rinse their tools. There are no rules to our play as long as you are not endangering yourself or others or interrupting another friends play.
