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

Product Information

It has an oven with opening door and internal shelf, a 2-ring hob, shelves, a blackboard and a nicely deep, removable stainless steel tub. They serve as a valuable tool for learning, exposing kids to the wonders of the great outdoors and fostering a connection with nature. The timber as sold is not reliably weatherproof, so you'll either need to cover it when playtime's finished or add a few coats of varnish or paint to help it withstand whatever the weather can throw at it.

Mud kitchens encourage imaginative, creative play using natural materials, where there are no rules on staying clean and tidy. Our little testers loved the multi-level shelves on the back board, which are drilled with holes to hold utensils, or to hold a funnel as they carefully make their creations.It feels like one of the most durable and solid kitchens we tried – it’s made from solid, thick planks of wood and has clearly been built to last.

I wanted a space for my 3 and 4 year olds to be able to prep their own snacks and wash up when they want to and this totally fits the bill.If you would like to know why children in year 1 and key stage 1 should still have access to a mud kitchen and play based learning, have a read of my post - should year 1 children still have continuous provision.
