The oldest sprout made great use of an afternoon thunderstorm. #begoodstewards #everykidoutdoors #1000hoursoutside #mudplay #letthemgetdirty #immunesupport #thewonderyears (at Anderson, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgoygSp0ha/?igshid=1u0qynidwpop7

When the kiddies get creative, well the grass wouldn't grow there anyway so why not #mudplay #playdates https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jkqDihOlwG5Uvb1f8TGiillakMvsdpG8ri3E0/?igshid=qhrsblze3nlw

A sunny day in the mud! It SOOOO quiet as the children brought the construction vehicles to Rock Park. #150hoursoutsideproject ##mudplay #earlylearning #preschool #letthembesmall #preservingchildhood #familychildcare #howtheylearn #handsonlearning #urbannature (at Creative Journeys In-home Preschool & Child Care) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjRGCTBsuS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9tvg1xv3q36q

As you can imagine, with all the rain California has gotten, we are being occupied by hours of mud play. (Or as I'm calling it the #ultimateinvitationtoplay ) As I scrolled through my Facebook feed, I saw so many of my fellow moms searching to avoid the muck. I know it's a lifestyle choice, and it's not for everyone. Playing in the mud can be very stressful for the parent. I am working on a blog post to help ease the stress of mud play and make it more enjoyable. I would love to know what the biggest obstacles you encounter when faced with dirt, water and muck. Or how you overcame your own aversion to #mudplay
