Muddy case studies

The real practical work carried out at different settings on a day-to-day basis can be fascinating and inspiring. These examples of work in practice have been gathered from a range of settings and locations in the UK and internationally, and focus on the creation of mud play opportunities, mud kitchens, and Mud Day events.

Outdoor Hub

We hope you'll find these case studies useful & inspiring, and that they may support you to develop even more confidence to get children outdoors and interacting with natural materials wherever you are.
