blondie Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 hi, just been reading about mud kitchens and have become very interested in starting one - the thing is how and where i start? what do i need? any help/ideas very gratefully received x Quote
Stargrower Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 If you Google Jan White Natural Play you'll see a section called Make a Mud Kitchen for Mud Day. It's last years Mud Day I think, but there's absolutely loads of info on there. Also Alistair Bryce-Clegg's Blog ABC Does has a post from last month on Mud Kitchens, again with lots and lots of ideas. I have to say though that Alistair's mud kitchen that he set up in his garden is rather beautiful and not very muddy!! We made one last year and it is a fantastic resource/area to have and really popular with all ages. We asked parents for donations and were lucky enough to be given two Belfast sinks and a big range cooker so our mud kitchen is on quite a big scale! We all raided our kitchen cupboards for bits and pieces that we didn't use at home and I bought some enamel camping plates and cups. Good luck with it! 1 Quote
HappyMaz Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Also, why not ask around locally and see if you can go and see one in action. Sometimes seeing children actually playing with the resources makes everything so much clearer! :1b 1 Quote
Guest lillybeth Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 have a look on ABC does and look under child initiated play there is an amazing article on mud kitchens and an idea on how to make one. x Quote
