Mini Mud Kitchen

Description

The Mini Mud Kitchen gives children a workspace built to their own height, made for scooping, pouring, mixing, and sorting with sand, water, mud, and other natural materials. A wide work surface holds a built-in aluminum mixing bowl at the center, with an open shelf below for storing tools, containers, and loose parts within easy reach.

Because the format is open-ended, children set their own goals at it. One day it is a kitchen for imaginative play, the next it is a sorting and measuring station. Built from cedar wood, it is designed to hold up to regular outdoor use as a standalone piece or alongside other PIP collection stations.
