Grab your wellies and your wild imagination — this week on Come Chat with Muddy T’s, we’re joined by the brilliant Antoinette Portis, author and illustrator of the much-loved picture books Not a Stick and Not a Box!

In this episode, we dig into the power of child-led play and the beauty of seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Antoinette shares how a simple stick (or box, or puddle!) can become a gateway to creativity, confidence, and storytelling magic — the very heart of early years exploration.

So whether you’re in the mud kitchen, the forest school, or curled up with a cuppa, join us for a joyful chat about imagination, art, and the wonder of open-ended play.
