"The best things in life are free" and so is mud
Don't be shocked at the desire of children to play with water and mud. Don't let a rainy day keep you inside, dress the children in their 'messy clothes' and let them just be kids. There's nothing worse than a child creating a whole landscape of river channels and landmarks (such as shops) in the sandpit and wanting to add water but unable to because the educator won't allow it. Warn parent's that children will get wet or muddy and ask them to provide daily outside clothes. Then when it's time to come inside just change them into their nice warm dry clothes and play some active games inside so they don't stay cold.
