'A fantastic addition to every bookshelf' - Kathy Brodie, Host and founder of Early Years TV on The Muddy Puddle Teacher

The playful guide to creating an outdoor Key Stage 1 curriculum from the popular Muddy Puddle Teacher

Based on the well-loved Muddy Puddle Teacher Approach and following the Three Muddy M's – mother nature, mental health and getting more kids moving – this handbook is jam-packed with simple outdoor activities for every season. As in the popular Early Years guide, there are step-by-step instructions and full-colour photographs to demonstrate the activities. Whether you're a forest school enthusiast or just getting started in taking your teaching outside, there are plenty of inspiring ideas to promote children's engagement, effective learning and wellbeing – and save hours of preparation time!

Using natural and upcycled materials, the activities in this book span key National Curriculum topics and themes, from muddy maths and literacy to muddy meditation and yoga. From using wellington boots to test materials to using clay grass heads to talk about emotions, every activity is ideal for delivering a fun and practical session while inspiring a love of nature and raising environmental awareness. Perfectly adaptable to all outdoor spaces, this book will transform your teaching practice in an affordable, sustainable way.
