Celebrating Mud Champions

Do you have a Mud Champion?

A person or a project that has really supported natural play or messy play outdoors?

Maybe a colleague, practitioner at school or nursery, a volunteer or grandparent. Maybe a special place that works with very special people.

We want to know.

We'll also be nominating our own Muddy Faces Mud Champions - follow this link to find out more.
