Autumn Mud Kitchen Play Ideas
Inspire children to get outdoors and let their imaginations fly in a mud kitchen. Cafe's shops, bakeries, Pizza station, Ice Cream Cart. Children develop their gross motor skills through large mixing and stirring movements, mashing with pestle and mortars and in our giant masher and perfect their fine motor skills as they take a pinch of herbs, grass or leaves for their marvelous bakes and mixtures.
Autumn brings with it an abundance of natural treasures to collect and forage for your mud kitchen. Allow children to collect their own ingredients - go on a hunt for acorns, pone cones, leaves of all colours of the season, conkers.
