Mud pies and outdoor play kitchen inspiration



Sunnyboy loves making mud pies with friends in the garden.


July 2011

He's always had an indoor play kitchen and also a box of kitchen utensils, bowls and buckets for the garden, where he has a mud patch. Recently he said he'd like Nozy to help him make a wooden cooker for the garden so I've been looking for inspiration for an outdoor play kitchen area we can get ready for spring. These are some of the kitchens I found.

  2. Play kitchens are great for children and every child should have one at one point or another. It doesn't matter if the child is a boy or a girl, there are certain skills that are learned through playing with kitchen sets.

  8. Love your pictures. My children have an indoor kitchen, but they would rather be outside. I have never thought to set them up an outdoor kitchen for their mud. I can't wait to get started.

  22. What a lovely collection of outdoor kitchens. We make a lot of sand cakes in our sandbox. I made her a stove out of a large box with a foam core shelf in it. I don't know if I ever put pictures up. We have it in our garage for the winter so if the weather is yucky we can still use it.

    Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!! Have a great week!
