Mud Kitchen

We know that children are instinctively drawn to anything that’s likely to get messy – especially mud! That’s why, like the children who go on to play in them, we take much delight from building a mud kitchen into our designs. Our mud kitchens are designed to be modular – ensuring that no matter what size your outdoors, if mud is what you’re after, then we can accommodate it! The designs are sympathetic to those who will be clearing up after playtime, to ensure that children can enjoy themselves, without creating an area that becomes a no-go zone for days afterwards! We even offer a design of mud kitchen with a roof (‘skylight’ openings provide light from the sky above) and raised beds to ensure earth is on hand for potion creations!
