Epic Muddy Boots. Seriously!

We headed out to the beautiful woods with our boots on and we were ready to play. The mud on the way was epic, and we had a few pauses to catch boots before they got caught in the mud! Once there, the children burst into active free play and ran, explored, chased, found sticks, tied string to sticks and "fished" on the bridge, and immersed themselves in the muddy boots club experience.
here's to the mud,

this was hard work, digging stones out of the ground with sticks!

Searching for Bugs....

We had a time outdoors with bug nets. The children chased and caught all sorts of bugs and looked closely at them and returned them to nature when we were done. When we came in we made a "bug explosion" of 30 bugs to celebrate our 30 days/30 minutes outdoors.

there was a lot of movement

and close looking

and conversation as we looked for bugs!

Out and About

We headed out to the treehouse and explored what happened when we pounded leaves-a lot of green! The trails were blooming and we tried honeysuckle-does it taste like honey?- as well as looked at oak tree flowers. A moment of dry in a day of rain, and we took advantage of it!

Until next time,

A Windy Walk

Muddy Boots Club headed out for a very windy walk with rainbow streamers to test the wind. The children enjoyed the "dance" of the streamers and the windy weather. We discovered that trees that the wind didn't always blow hard, particularly when there were trees nearby.

Until Next Time,
