Quote

The feel of the raw materials, and the way they change as they are put to use is the first lesson about the nature of the materials, and one that needs full concentration to extract the most from the experience. It needs uninterrupted time, and opportunities to experiment, so that the full muddiness of mud is understood. This is so important that it may need to be repeated – do you still stand in mud puddles and rock your feet to make the mud move, to gauge its texture and consistency? If not, try it, and do not deprive your children of repeating this experience each time that they go out.
