Apple Playschools' Mud Day Challenge and Mud Day Mayhem Event
TWO WAYS TO PLAY!
Join us in celebrating International Mud Day with a month-long play outside challenge and a muddy and messy Mud Day Mayhem in-person event. In the Mud Day Challenge you will have all month to complete a series of challenges and activities to collect images of our mystical Mud Monster. Each minute you spend outdoors you can track as a “Muddy Minute.” This Challenge is for kids and grown ups.

International Mud Day History!
This international celebration began in 2009 when a group of young children in Australia raised money to buy extra clothes so that children in Nepal could share in their joy of playing in the mud. It is a way to remind us that we are all connected through the earth.Learn more about International Mud Day!
