Wild Explorers: Mud Kitchen - Play Recipes & Nature Crafts

Welcome to Wild Explorers - Mud Kitchen. This class is for all the nature lovers who like to get messy. Each week students will get a recipe card for the new recipe we will be making together in class. We start our class by making a "dish" together. Afterwards, we will do a nature themed craft or activity. 

*THESE RECIPES ARE NOT FOR CUNSUMPTION. DO NOT EAT OR DRINK!

MATERIALS:
Each week students will need to forage for their supplies and gather some household supplies. A list of specific ingredients for each recipe and craft/activity will be sent out on Sundays with a recipe card you can print out. 

Recipe ingredients: water, dirt, sand, rocks, sticks, grass, herbs, flowers, flower petals, leaves, dried leaves, seeds and pinecones.
Household items: mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons, cupcake tin, baking sheet, cake pan, loaf pan, bowl, plate, cup, spoon, ladle, spatula, mortar & pestle.
Games/Crafts/Activities: These will all be nature themed. Some will require nature items like leaves, sticks, and flowers. Some will require access to a printer to print out PDFs. And some may include other household items like paper, glue, scissors, paint, etc. 

*This can be a messy class. We are working with MUD! Certain recipes may require us to use our hands. Gloves are optional if you'd like.
