Have some muddy fun!

Find a spot in your backyard/school grounds where you can make some mud!  Feel it in your fingers (or between your toes if you’re really keen!). Can you make a picture in the mud, or a sculpture with it?  Use other natural resources like sticks, stones and leaves to create a piece of art in your mud.  You could add some toy cars and trucks, or plastic animals to make your mud play even more fun! 

Did you know that there is scientific evidence that playing in mud is good for children? Click here to read a fantastic article about all the reasons that playing in mud is so great for kids.

Below you can see what Aroha has to say about the positives of getting dirty and connecting with nature. This page is from the wonderful book, ‘Aroha Knows’ by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
