Are You Mudding Today?
June 29, 2011
Humans are vulnerable and rely on the kindnesses of the earth and the sun; we exist together in a sacred field of meaning.

Today is International Mud Day and around the world preschool children are playing in the mud. Send us photos of your Mud Day celebration to include on an online Mud Day Photo Gallery — send photos to [email protected].
Thinking of Mud Day, Zvia Dover sent us a story headlined, "Kids Get Hands Dirty to Become Healthier," from CBS Miami:
"Battling childhood obesity is not easy, but a program at Miami-Dade College North Campus hopes to change that by educating kids early. Toddlers as young as two-years-old are getting their hands dirty to become healthier.
"Toddlers at the Miami-Dade College North Campus pre-school lab program, with the help from adults, learn to water their vegetable and herb beds. Thanks to an endowment from an alumnus, young students are learning how to build and organize a garden and most importantly to eat better."
The Learning With Nature DVD provides examples of Nature Explore Classrooms that have been designed around the country. Discover techniques for using outdoor classrooms as an integral part of preschool and elementary children's daily learning. See how well-designed outdoor spaces facilitate children's overall development in traditional academic areas. As you watch footage from a variety of settings and hear stories from educators, you will gain new insight into ways to help children make deeper connections with the natural world. ExchangeEveryDay

Our hospital based employee child development program recently was instrumental in raising awareness about the “hygiene hypothesis” and the relation to the nature of play:
