Staying clean is overrate and June 29 is the day people all over the world will embrace a little mud. How do you celebrate a “holiday” for all things muddy? There are mud baths, mud facials and mud packs. There is mud volleyball, mud tug-ofwar and mud wrestling. Playing in the mud isn’t all fun – it’s good for us too! Mud provides a lot of practice for gross and fine motor skills as children play with it, using it as face paint, making pottery and simply squishing their little fingers in the gooey murk. Mud also exposes children to Mycobacterium vaccae, a type of good bacteria found in dirt that builds up the immune system and causes a release of serotonin. And if all else fails, and temperatures continue to rise, swine swear to its cooling elements.
