What to look for when choosing a mud kitchen A mud kitchen is a play kitchen to be used outside, where children can use their imaginations to role-play and pretend to cook.

The TP Deluxe Mud Kitchen Playhouse Accessory attaches easily to any playhouse, shed, fence panel or any suitable surface for lots of extra play value and hours of fun! Made from FSC ® certified wood, the Deluxe Mud Kitchen Accessory is sold complete with a starter set of stainless steel pans with mixing whisk, a working water butt with tap, a splash bowl and stencils. Encouraging social play, children can create perfect mud pies or use the mud kitchen for sand and water play. A perfect accessory for any playhouse. In its simplest form, a mud kitchen is an outdoor play kitchen designed to encourage children to pretend to cook using mud, grass, sand, water and more. Simpler versions will have a worktop space with sink-like bowls, while more extravagant ones might have shelves, hooks for utensils, cupboards, pretend taps, a pretend hob or oven, and even twisty knobs.The beauty of mud kitchens is that they can be used by children of all ages from three up to about 10. While the core activity might be the same, the ways in which different aged children will play with a mud kitchen will be different. Storage space: A mud kitchen with shelves, cupboards, drawers and hooks will take lots of building, but it will look more authentic, provide extra fun and be good places to store accessories and ‘ingredients.’ This is ours... Still going strong 3 years later” (Recommended by Mumsnet user purpleme12) Our verdict The value of learning through play is no secret. There have been numerous studies published over the years that show play to help children develop a whole range of skills and psychological traits. There are direct links with improved creative thinking and imaginative skills, fine and gross motor skills, independence and confidence, social skills and more.
If you’re limited on space in your garden, this wall-mounted ‘bolt-on’ makes a great alternative to a free-standing mud kitchen. It comes with a starter set full of pans and a whisk, so your kids can get creative straight away. The water butt and large sink are also ideal for washing and rinsing away. 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. We were surprised at how great the wood was once made, it's solid timber and looks like it would last.” (Brand recommended by Mumsnet user BunnyBerries) Our verdictA selection of treated wood (quantity will depend upon the size of the mud kitchen you plan to make) How many children can play with it: For a mud kitchen to work for more than one child, there needs to be multiple activities, so they aren’t fighting over the same thing. A chalkboard, easel and gardening section are all great additions to the standard cooking area. The mud kitchen needs to be wide enough for side-by-side play; alternatively, a 360-degree design is ideal for two or more children. If you want to up the ante and get something super special, this Big Game Hunters mud kitchen has a working tap that you can attach to a hose for running water.
