CREATING MUDDY ART

The goal of this project is to get dirty and have fun while waiting for your plants to grow! Every time you water your plants the soil they are growing in turns to mud! Woohoo! I LOVE MUD! There is so much you can do with it.  Grab a scoop of it in your hands and enjoy the feeling of it squishing through your fingers! I promise it'll make you giggle.  Once you're done with that grab the following items and ....drum roll please...prepare to become an amazing mud artist.  

Here's what you need:

​Bucket
Mud
Paper
Leaves & sticks
Fingers and hands

​Now, stir up the mud in the bucket to create your paint.  See what happens when you add more water to the soil?  What happens when you add more dirt?  This is a great time to learn a bit about consistency.

Once you have the mixture to where you like it, grab a leaf or stick and start to draw. Create pictures of whatever comes to mind.  Cover leaves in mud and press them onto the paper to make animal ears or try to write your name with different looking letters! The only rule is to have fun and get your hands dirty!​
