Mud campaign

The Muddy Faces Mud Campaign initiative has three strands

1. Developing information & literature

Jan White is the author of Making a Mud Kitchen and other fantastic mud play resources. Muddy Faces offers free downloads of the book, and many resources and information on the benefits of mud, including free activity downloads and mud play tips, here on the Mud section of our Outdoor Hub.

2. Developing a range of resources

Jan White designed the Mud Kitchen range in our shop, where each set is a collection of beautiful items that wonderfully support young children’s natural desires to explore and discover, imagine and create, relate and interact. Each collection has been carefully selected starting from what we know young children want to do, and with strong regard for how children’s play and learning is best supported during the early years.

To find these collections and many more inspirational and open ended resources visit the Muddy Faces shop.

3. International Mud Day

Supporting the World Forum Foundation’s Nature Action Collaborative for Children annual International Mud Day, which aims to bring together children and early childhood professionals all over the world to celebrate nature, outdoors, and mess, by getting really muddy! Muddy Faces produces a dedicated Mud Day newsletter each year, runs competitions, social media campaigns and shares Mud Day activities, resources and information.
