Join Emily Webster from Scholar’s Choice and Kat Kerns from Je Me Demande on June 10th at 8 p.m. EST for a playful and practical webinar all about mud kitchens and their role in outdoor, play-based learning throughout the seasons.

Mud kitchens are more then just messy fun—they’re rich learning environments where children explore, create, and connect with nature. This session will dive into the value of mud kitchen play in supporting early childhood development, from sensory exploration and imaginative play to early science, math, and language learning.

Emily and Kat will share inspiring ideas to help you refresh and adapt your mud kitchen space year-round. Whether it’s mixing flower potions in spring, baking mud pies in summer, stirring leaf soups in autumn, or exploring textures in winter, each season brings new invitations to play, discover, and learn.

Learn how to set up an engaging mud kitchen using open-ended materials and nature’s loose parts, and how to encourage inquiry-based learning through outdoor play. You’ll walk away with practical tips, seasonal setup ideas, and a deeper understanding of how mud kitchens support holistic child development.

​​​​​​​Perfect for educators, parents, and caregivers, this webinar will leave you excited to dig into outdoor learning and embrace the joy of messy, meaningful play!
