Mud Kitchens

A perfect addition to any play environment, this ‘kitchen’ comprises five worktop stations – three ‘sinks’ and two ‘hobs’, and two ‘oven’ compartments with opening doors, as well as a parcel shelf. Through adding mud, pebbles, and other natural materials, children will create endless imaginative play scenarios, and earn their first Mud Michelin Star in no time!

Ideal for larger gardens as well as playgroups and nurseries, this robust, 2m long timber kitchen is built to last.

Mud kitchen play is a brilliant way to encourage roleplay, sharing, and turn-taking. Simulating a kitchen environment, children often mimic the home environment of their caregivers cooking at home, or become budding restaurant chefs! Acting out these roles helps to heighten emotional understanding, and develops social skills. This creative mind mud café is a versatile piece of equipment, including a serving hatch, kitchen, and picnic bench for all mud kitchen roles from chef to diner!

Just a few of the benefits of Mud Kitchens

1. Connecting to nature

With the constant rush of daily life it is not always practical to get out into the countryside, but the same benefits can be recreated in the smallest of outdoor spaces. Outdoor play inspires children to feel a connection to nature and develop an appreciation for the environment.

2. Provide focal point in your garden

Bringing children of all ages together. Pre-schoolers and older children alike benefit greatly from immersive messy play. Children need regular sensory input for their all-round good health and wellbeing.

3. Sensory play

Supports language development and cognitive growth. Children learn to problem solve through social interaction by sharing ideas. Use of real tools in play situations develops fine and gross motor skills.

4. Mud play

The open-ended nature of mud play encourages creative thinking and allows children to freely create without fear of making mistakes, contributing to a child’s sense of self, and helping to build confidence. Not to mention the huge health benefits of immune boosting dirt!

5. Imagination

Allowing curiosity, exploration and experimentation in an open-ended way allows a child’s imagination to flourish!

The Mini Mud Oven is the perfect accessory to any kitchen, with functioning door and internal compartment, your little chef will bake their mud pies to perfection.

Based on our classic Mini Mud we have added a compartment below the worktop for cooking up some lovely mud pies and wood chips!
