Playing with Dirt in the Rain!!!!

It was a rainy day today, so it could not have been a better day to play in the Dirt!!
Well crepe paper dirt anyway.
I decided to cut up small pieces of coloured crepe paper and organise a scene in which to play and use diggers and trucks INDOORS!!! ( I am hearing your sigh of relief!!!)

The children enjoyed loading, unloading, driving and ultimately just having fun.
Even if by the end of the experience the children had scattered the paper from one end of the room to the other!

Thank God for vacuum cleaners!
