MUD PIE ARTS
Autumn 2026
'The storyteller was fantastic - she was evidently very experienced with young children and had them captivated from the off. Both of mine were grumpy when they arrived but within a minute, they were really absorbed by how interactive the storytelling was and how many of their ideas she included.

For example, did you know we need fungi to help us mop up after a disastrous oil spill? It's true!
Come along to find some spectacular specimens, identify your penny buns from your stink horns, and pay your respects to nature's incredible, sometimes edible heroes!

Charlie Cook's Favourite Book
Tidy
A story adventure based on the bonkers book by Emily Gravett.
Pete, the Badger likes the woodlands neat and tidy, but one day he takes his cleaning obsession far too far!
Now everyone's forest home is in danger from
flooding! Can the woodland creatures come to the rescue, and persuade Pete to love his wild woods just the way they are?
Your children will be invited to take the roles of woodland inhabitants, be they beetles, bats, butterflies or buzzards! They will meet Pete and advice him on what is best for this wild place.
They learn about woodland ecosystems and the fragile balance of this natural world, having lots of fun along the way!
Mud Pie Arts always promote a love of books, sharing the pictures at the end of the session.
