The outdoor environment, whatever that is like, is alive with learning opportunities and can be a vibrant place for children’s growth. It is the place where children are often at their most inventive, physically active and emotionally engaged. With hands in mud or feet in sand, eyes to the sky or ears to the ground, children are fully focused and absorbed. Wherever you can find a puddle, feel a breeze or play in the mud, there is learning to be had.
Developed by Claire Warden, founder of Mindstretchers™ and a pioneering consultant in connecting children with the outdoors, these card sets have been designed to offer portable inspiration whatever the weather. Printed on washable card, each pack of Mud, Wind and Puddles contains 30 photographs (120 x 75mm) with activity ideas on the reverse. They are held together by a quick-release metal ring, so that you will always have ideas for outdoor learning at your fingertips.

Great visual product and its main advantage is its simplicity. We loved the design and the pictures are great, and found that it really helped to make our outdoor planning child-led.
