Create Mud Tacos
This week working educational activities at home we carried out an activity using natural elements. We started by reading the book Mud Tacos by Mario Lopez. When we finished reading the story, we went outside to look for natural materials. On the way we find leaves, flower petals of different colors among others. when we return to the interior we place them on a tray classifying the elements by color. Previously, I printed and laminated the drawings of some limbrices to give a detail to the activity. Then the children had the opportunity to work with the earth and in this way create the mud blocks using the collected materials.
