The boys love the idea of playing in the mud, but not so much the reality of it sticking to their hands. And clothes. And shoes. I found a recipe for mud dough and whipped it up for the boys. Super easy. They LOVED it:

And they played and played and played….the best thing about this homemade dough, the more you play with it the better it gets.
