International Mud Day Celebration

In celebration of International Mud Day, we got messy!

The construction pit was transformed with a little help from the hose. It went from this...

 To THIS...

  

We also played on our water pillow.

There was a lot of hopping,

flopping,

rolling, and laying. 

A wonderful sensory morning on a hot summer day.

To make the water pillow: 

• Double over heavy duty plastic sheeting to twice the finished size you want 
• Fold in half to finished size
• Fold over edges twice and duct tape [use heavy duty tape] down as you go 
• Leave one corner open for filling
• Check seal of tape, securing firmly all the way around
• Add a second tape layer, overlapping first by at least 1/2 inch, as needed
• Place about 6 drops of green and 6 drops of blue food coloring into the hole
• Fill  to desired depth, 1-2 inches
• Double fold opening and seal with tape
