Mud Kitchen Café

Ages2–7
TimeAbout 40 min
MessBring a towel!

You need

  • Old pots, pans and spoons
  • Dirt and water
  • Leaves, petals and pebbles

Let's play

  1. Set up a "kitchen" on a low bench or box.
  2. Mix mud soup, pebble pies and petal cupcakes.
  3. Write a menu and take your grown-up's order.
  4. Hose down the cooks afterward!
Grown-up tip: Keep play clothes by the door so mud kitchen days are stress-free. Mud pies are pretend food: keep them out of mouths and wash hands after.
