Today is International Mud Day and around the world preschool children are playing in the mud. Send us photos of your Mud Day celebration to include on an online Mud Day Photo Gallery — send photos to [email protected].
Thinking of Mud Day, Zvia Dover sent us a story headlined, "Kids Get Hands Dirty to Become Healthier," from CBS Miami:
"Battling childhood obesity is not easy, but a program at Miami-Dade College North Campus hopes to change that by educating kids early. Toddlers as young as two-years-old are getting their hands dirty to become healthier.
"Toddlers at the Miami-Dade College North Campus pre-school lab program, with the help from adults, learn to water their vegetable and herb beds. Thanks to an endowment from an alumnus, young students are learning how to build and organize a garden and most importantly to eat better."
