Kit List

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”

Our aim at Muddy Munchkins is to give children the freedom and opportunity that previous generations took for granted. Despite the cultural shift away from outdoor play and learning, it remains essential to children’s health, development and well-being.

It is essential that the children are kitted out in the correct gear for our British weather.
