There's nothing quite like real mud. I'm convinced that no amount of moon sand, play-doh, water beads, colored rice, cloud-doh and homemade slime or any other sensory tub filler can take it's place in a childhood. What do you think?

I agree! It's a texture and experience you just can't get anywhere else!

It's not only texture. I think the nature of actually playing in and touching the earth has an impact.

Ha ha ha, I agree! I never could get my two rowdy boys to play in the mud, but their girly little toddler sister plays in it and has eaten it!

I think that's a good point!

I agree also - but I think Maggie is a bit too clean.  Where are the dirty clothes?
