Create your very own mud face

One of he most popular Freelance Ranger activities is mud faces. Mud is great to play with and we all know what faces should look like. This a great activity where everyone can get really creative using natural materials. We can leave our tree faces behind at the end of the day for other people to see while we take a mud head back home with us to remind us of our day. 

I bring water, towels and wipes etc to get everyone clean again at the end, or another alternative is to do a water activity like my water lab or bubbles activities to get clean again.I have gloves if people really don't want to get muddy and anyone with eczema or broken skin on their hands should also consider doing this.

This activity goes well with any of the other arty crafty activities and also is a bit of fun after building a shelter or making a den.
