Kids can explore their senses, play in the dirt, sand piles and water to make mud & get messy at Babes in the Woods: Mud Day. This outdoor unstructured playtime helps develop creativity and imagination and creates a big mess!
No worries though! Dress your kids to get messy, and bring a change of clothes because there will be a chance to hose them off after muddy playtime is done. You'll all enjoy a snack after playtime too.
This free Mud Day is designed for ages 0-3 and their caregivers and is sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
All attendees must register for this free program.
Friday, September 9 at Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center in Kirkwood. Two sessions are available: 10 a.m. and 11 ap.m.
