The Muddy Puddle Teacher gives you everything you need to create an engaging, active and inclusive outdoor curriculum for your Early Years setting. Based on the well-loved Muddy Puddle Teacher Approach and following the Three Muddy M' s - mother nature, mental health and getting more kids moving - this handbook is jam-packed with simple outdoor activities for every season. Whether you' re a forest school enthusiast or just getting started in taking your teaching outside, there are plenty of inspiring ideas to benefit children and save you hours of preparation time. The activities in this book span key EYFS topics as well as PSHE themes, from muddy maths and phonics to muddy meditation and yoga. All ideas use natural or upcycled materials that are easy to source, including making bamboo cane storyboards, clay 3D shapes and teaching spelling with leaves. Perfectly adaptable to all outdoor settings, the games and activities are ideal for inspiring a love of nature and innovating your Early Years practice in an affordable, sustainable way.
This beautiful, full-colour book is packed with practical, easily accessible ideas and activities, whatever your budget or type of outdoor space. Sarah' s humour and delight in the outdoors shines through every page. A fantastic addition to every bookshelf, whether you' re a fully committed Muddy Puddle Teacher or if you' re only just dipping your toe in the water. -- Kathy Brodie * Host and founder of Early Years TV, @kathybrodie * The Muddy Puddle Teacher is a fantastic resource for anyone who' s looking to engage in the wonders of the natural world.

Sarah Lou, AKA the Muddy Puddle Teacher, began her career in the TV industry working for CBeebies and CITV. After retraining as a teacher, Sarah spotted an opportunity in outdoor learning and The Muddy Puddle Teacher Approach was born. This methodology empowers teachers to embrace outdoor education, and supports children who don' t respond as well to conventional methods. The Muddy Puddle Teacher Approach is used in hundreds of schools across the UK, as well as in the US, Canada and Australia.
