It’s been a month or so since our Mud Pie Kitchen (read how it began) has been here and it attracts residents and visitors alike - from every age group!
The other day, my mom and sis-in-law stopped by in the evening when Pari was busy in the balcony with her outdoor kitchen.
It was only for a short while that they could watch and gush over it. For soon enough, first my mom, and then my sis-in-law – both were playing alongside Pari!
Continue to read and see some pics of their creative play…
Mom was making all sorts of sculptures with the clay-like mud. She and pari were brainstorming and working feverishly. This sight was utterly heart-warming. Two ladies – generations apart – were most comfortable playing along-side with the same tools!
Well, THAT is the effect of free play – especially mud.
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy the creativity and camaraderie between these ladies!
Making mud ‘kebabas’ on skewers. Oh well, those skewers are actually from the broom I use to clean the balcony 
That’s my mom seriously focused on some sculpting. As a girl, she liked making beautiful clay ‘shivlings’ and idols.
This was good fun and learning trying to form mud balls and then balancing and stacking them on the skewer.
While I was engaging Sarah in our five senses nature box, Pari stacked her ‘kebabs’ with help from my sis-in-law
Are you tempted to play along, too?

Isn’t that great! Great for the adults but also great when kids see adults playing – I think it can really energized their play. I REALLY have to do more of that with my kids!
