Get dirty and learn about animals with mud prints of animal tracks, hands, and feet!
The boys have been loving their dirt patch. Henry keeps talking about making mud and turning it to dirt and the other way around, not fully understanding it I don’t think.
So I thought, what better way to show him what mud is exactly than making it!
We turned the dirt patch into a mud patch for the morning.
We brought out some of our animals to play with and make mud print animal tracks.
I set out a piece of cardboard as well to make mud prints on.
I don’t think our mud was the right consistency, because it barely worked.
But it was fun trying.
I was hoping for some guessing games of what animal made what tracks, but we mostly had blobs of mud on the cardboard.
So, they just played and had fun with mud.
George was into it at the beginning. He was right in the mud with Henry.
Then his sandal got stuck in the mud and he wouldn’t go back in after that. Wouldn’t touch it at all.
Oh well. I can’t blame him.
His father wasn’t too happy about our mud patch either.
Henry, on the other hand, got such a kick out of it. He played and played.
He loved making muddy handprints and footprints in the mud and on the cardboard
Then, Henry used his loader to dig and scoop trenches and make dams to stop the water
I had to constantly use the hose to keep adding water to keep it as mud. Our ground has been so incredibly dry this year.
Henry also checked out what else we had around the area to see what mud prints they would make.
And then it moved onto mud painting for a little bit.
Our dirt patch is on a hill. And it got slippery! Very slippery.
Henry slipped and slid trying to climb up it. Over and over.
Such a great, muddy morning.
We cleaned up with the hose and the boys were ready for lunch.
Find lots of Mud & Dirt Activities to continue playing in the mud!
Making mud prints with toy animals, hands, or feet is super fun! Another great option would be to make your prints with paint.
This activity, with either mud or paint, would be a great activity extension to any animal-themed book.

Get in the mood for spring with this collection of super simple spring crafts for kids!
I am seriously excited to share this collection of spring crafts for kids. Why?
Because that means spring is just about here!
Goodbye snow! Even though a snow day can be lots of fun!
As we’re not the craftiest kids around, we like to keep them as simple as possible.
I think of flowers, oh the fresh smell. And the April showers too. The hope of a rainbow.
And then, of course, Easter. And when I think of Easter, I think of bunnies, eggs, and crosses.
I combined all these into one sweet little collection of simple spring crafts.

Making flowers to creating rainbows, as well as egg and cross crafts!
I’m starting with some gorgeous flower crafts for kids to make because this is the first thing I think of when I think Spring. The new flower popping up outside is always the first sign of Spring here in Iowa. These would also make great Mother’s Day gifts!
Another sure sign of Spring is the sighting of a rainbow during April showers. Plus, its a part of St. Patrick’s Day, the beginning of Spring.
And we cannot forget the major holiday in Spring — Easter. Easter crosses and eggs and, of course, the Easter bunny. So many cute ideas!
