Use this incredibly innovative and creative Muddy Elf Ideas Pack to get your children outside daily to enjoy an Elf that likes to get muddy and messy! Muddy Elf is a nature-loving Elf that will help your excellent class connect with nature while getting outside and doing kind acts for the Elf, nature, and themselves.

The Muddy Elf is a new tradition schools are embracing to help improve wellbeing and do something a little silly! Silly is how children enjoy themselves and it is lovely for adults to step out of their world and into a child’s for just a few moments a day.

In this pack, you will find:

• Tips on how and where to hide your Muddy Elf
• Daily Christmas outdoor learning challenges

Here are some top FREE EYFS Outdoor learning ideas this Christmas:

1. Make some Christmas trees by using a stick and threading leaves onto them. Then, plant them in the ground to prepare your wintery pine forest for small-world play.
2. Make Santa’s sledge by using sticks and making a big rectangle. Then, all jump aboard and pretend you are getting your free ride on the eve of Christmas. Imagine, pretend and be children.

We also have other Christmas outdoor learning packs for EYFS here.
