Summary

I've been a huge fan of Penny's for years and years and have so enjoyed all of the gorgeous, hands-on nature ideas Penny shares through her movement Mother Natured where she aims to connect kids with nature and sprinkle more nature play into childhood. In this episode we discuss Penny's brand new book, The Muddy Chef that she co-authored with Emma Bear. We do a deep dive into mud kitchens and talk about the best age for mud kitchens (the answer will surprise you), the must-have utensils and tools for your mud kitchen, Penny's top three mud kitchen ingredients PLUS the key to getting kids to come back to the mud kitchen time and again. Beyond mud kitchens, we talk about safety and risk, how to bring nature indoors, what you should have in your Wildlife First Aid Kit (and other kids you should keep in your car), and why it is lovely to get your hands dirty.
