Stomping in the Mud Play Group is a rich, natural outdoor play environment where children have the opportunity to play outside,
rain or shine ... a chance for preschoolers to 'live in the moment' while learning through play.

Month End Snapshots - February 2014


Our little Stompers' imaginations and creative energy flourished during our cold and wet February.  They filled their time with us by exploring, socialising, climbing, jumping and balancing, with an energy that is always surprising to us no matter how challenging the weather is.











I heard they were making apple pie in the wheel barrow....Yum!
 






















 See you in April.
Thanks for Stomping by!

Month End Snapshots - January 2014

It doesn't matter what Mother Nature throws our way we always have a Stomping good time. The weather has been cold and damp, and I've often thought about how nice and warm it would be inside.  The children, however, never ask to go indoors - they are too engaged and happy to be at Stomping!


This has always been the 'Running Hill' now it is the 'Rolling Hill!
 




                                                                                     

These two discovered their shadows!
                                                                                         










Our wonderful stick forest!
 





Time to make our bird feeders!
 




Our forest walks are now followed by some wonderfully warm herbal 'Tiger' tea!
 

Chalking in the rain...


and stomping in the mud!
 






  
This little Stomper discovered how he could move a heavy tree stump...


He had it sliding across the wet grass.


He then enlisted some help and they tried to move bigger ones. They weren't successful, but I bet they try again next week!
 




This has to be the best piece of play ground equipment that money can't buy...they love it!
See you next month and thanks for Stomping by!
