Big Game Hunters Mud Kitchen with Working Tap – Kid’s Wooden Outdoor Play Kitchen

Product Information

It has everything your kids need to pretend they're in a real kitchen, from an oven with a door and a removal splash tub to mixing bowls and blackboard space. With some mud kitchens, you'll get a whole set of pot, pans and other accessories with your purchase; others will come with nothing else included. It has water-based wood preservative to give it as much protection as possible whilst living outdoors. It’s designed to be used through 360 degrees, so it worked well on our patio rather than stuck against a wall. There is also a small chalkboard for kids to get creative, plus it comes with pots, pans and utensils.

Our mud kitchens help children experience sensory, emotional and imaginative play as well as developing maths, science and speaking skills.

Made from FSC-approved fir wood, this cute Peppa kitchen has three hobs along with a sink, opening oven and recipe chalkboard.

Decorating your kitchen It is also important to give thought to the overall appearance of the product. Putting it together was surprisingly easy considering it’s a more complex mud kitchen – it took two people about an hour to do. With 11 characters to use, you can have your child's name or favourite phrase on the mud kitchen to add a personal touch.Your mud kitchen is going to get covered in dirt and, if it is left out in the garden, it will have to survive wind, rain and possibly even snow as well. The kitchen is 110 x 90cm and is big enough for multiple children to play at the same time - with plenty of storage and worktop space too. This compact mud kitchen also doubles as an art station, with the reverse side sporting a baton for a roll of paper and extra shelves for paint pots, chalks and crayons.

We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world and expert advice. Giving children toys and play equipment where the games and play options are more varied or 'open ended' gives so much more value to their play time. My 2 year old granddaughter loves this kitchen, so nice to be able to fill the water container with warm water on those chillier days.The use of water in your play sessions is really important, so make sure these parts are substantial. Our little testers also loved the weather dial on the side, which encourages little ones to select what the weather is today – it invited great conversations about clouds types and different weathers. if nothing else, a bucket or a bowl, pans, some sticks and some mud are all you really need to get going, the rest is down to your imagination! If you are choosing a place for your mud kitchen at home or within a setting, finding a little cosy corner, or wall space will help to keep this separate from other areas which may be utilised outside.

One of the key pieces of equipment for an outdoor learning space, which will tie into lots of different areas of learning is to have a mud kitchen. There’s a huge amount of workspace for creating potions, meals and whatever else their imaginations come up with, and enough play prompts to invite them in without being too prescriptive. Not only do we have stand alone childrens mud kitchens, but we also have accessories that can be attached to your TP playhouses, or even the side of your house.

Always read labels, warnings, directions and other information provided with the product before using it. And, unusually for a mud kitchen, it also features a built-in planter (for planting and tending flowers or veg) as well as, on the back frame next to the shelves, an easy-clean painting screen (for al fresco arty creations). There is a little shelf above the main workspace, which our little testers liked using for lining up pine cones and other treasures. Mud kitchens vary in size, but most have a removable bowl to use as a sink, some worktop space and a ‘hob'. I have talked before about this separation of indoor and outdoor play, and the negative consequences that this can have in my post about the importance of learning through play outside which can be found here.
