WORCESTER — Kids got down and and dirty by creating mud pies and mud paintings, and playing mud games during Mud Day at the EcoTarium on Saturday. 

Children of all ages took part in muddy activities at the science and nature museum that included making mud, playing with mud, stories about mud, making mud and clay sculptures and other artwork, the science of mud, mud games, and a barefoot sensory walk through, well, mud.
