During outdoor time, give children the following ingredients to mix together in whatever proportions they want: dirt (this can be purchased from a home improvement store if needed), water, powdered tempera paint or Kool-Aid.® Place in a large container and begin mixing with hands. Glitter is optional. Once the substance is mixed together, encourage the children to make mud pies. Set them in the sun to dry. Add water to them again and start all over.
