what with the need/want for "fake" mud?
what's wrong with real mud???
fresh mud ain't squat to rinse out
(padder hacks need not apply)
..L.T.A.

of couse I can, but I'm going to dirty up my kid, the carpet and the prop I'm using. I'll be using multiple products to make it look realistic. I'll have to experiment for a little bit, before going to location

Some of that soil they tested using the NASA gun would work really well except it extracts best with a Rug Doctor.

but you're going to dirty up your kid, tools, props anyway..
but with something else that "looks" like mud??
Nothing "fake" you'd make would be any harder or easier to rinse and wash off than the real thing.
substitutes might even be harder
the real thing looks most "realistic"
you're WAY overthinking this Moser

Use brown or black mud. Red clay is harder to remove.

I don't know if it will fit the bill but you could use washable finger paint for the footprints.....maybe....I mean it says washable
Coffee grounds and Iodine make a great fake mud.

It's washable until it dries and the water has evaporated leaving the dye behind.

Again, I think you’re asking the Wrong people. You need to visit with a commercial art designer, not a bunch of carpet cleaners
