About the event
Did you know there was such a thing as International Mud Day? It started in 2009 as a project between Australia and Nepal. Now, people worldwide use this day to reap the health and educational benefits of playing in the mud.
Hosted by the Izaak Walton League in partnership with the Des Plaines Public Library, this event carries a deeper message: the importance of clean soil and sustainable practices. As children engage in activities like Mud Play, Mud Paint, and creating Mud Pies in the Mud Kitchen, they’re having fun AND learning about the earth beneath their feet. They discover firsthand how soil supports life and why it is important to protect our soil.
