If I am correct you are talking about 8 year old children. If so , they would be fine with mud/clay. The cow slurry was used as a plasticiser, and help make the mix more fluid. If you were to leave out all but the sticky clay/mud, it would be fine for children of that age. A pair of gloves, an apron and a bath when they get home would be fine. To Marty.

If so, what is the recipe for the daub? I'd rather not use dung, but would a salt/flour type media work? We're visiting colonial Jamestown (Virginia, USA) in a week, and I would like this "hands-on" experience for them before they see the buildings in the fort.</p> Is it possible for school children (3rd grade) to build a small wattle and daub wall?
