Outdoor Mud Kitchen
What is a Mud Kitchen?
An EYFS mud kitchen is an engaging and open-ended piece of EYFS outdoor classroom equipment, suitable for use within any setting, including within pre-schools, nurseries and schools.
The high-quality children’s mud kitchen is designed to inspire a broad range of learning in the early years including imaginative play, mathematical thinking, creativity and language development.
The mud kitchen mimics the indoor home corner role play area whilst offering the freedom for sensory seekers to engage in messy, exploratory play. The Mud Kitchen Complete Collection includes an outdoor kitchen hob for children to 'cook' mud pies using the mud kitchen resources and the outdoor sink unit to 'wash up' or conjure up mystical witches potions.
With endless possibilities, the outdoor mud kitchen will be a favourite outdoor classroom area for many years to come.
What are the Benefits of a Mud Kitchen?
Early Years children will benefit from the hands-on, sensory and experimental play that an outdoor mud kitchen area offers, whilst being a hub for outdoor language and literacy development.
Pair the mud kitchen with our children’s mud kitchen accessories, including kitchen utensils, pots, pans, ‘witches' cauldrons and large trugs for endless learning opportunities. Introduce maths and literacy opportunities to the outdoor classroom - challenge children to write a mud pie recipe, or create a weekly menu for the ‘mud cafe’, explore measuring and quantifying 'ingredients'.
The mud kitchen offers endless opportunities to develop children’s fine motor skills and gross motor skills, collaborative problem-solving skills, mathematical thinking, and language development - whilst also enjoying imaginative role play experiences.

Why Choose a Wooden Mud Kitchen?
The wooden mud kitchen is exclusively manufactured in the UK for Early Excellence using only high-quality, sustainable materials. The mud kitchen will withstand heavy use within a busy outdoor classroom environment.
The mud kitchen is simplistically designed to avoid overwhelming children and to make the learning process easier. The small mud kitchen sink unit has a hard-wearing stainless-steel sink and shelf underneath to store resources. The large mud kitchen unit features hobs for pretend play cooking plus some useful hooks to keep kitchen utensils organised, mimicking a working kitchen environment.
All outdoor resources must 'earn their place’ in the outdoor classroom. Our curriculum team have curated the age-appropriate Mud Kitchen Accessories Collection, to give you the assurance that you are investing in meaningful and high-quality resources. Enhance the collection with the Mud Kitchen Water Dispenser and Tuff Tray to create a fully equipped children’s mud kitchen area.
Outstanding Outdoor Mud Kitchen
Children will be naturally drawn to the messy play opportunities that an early year's mud kitchen offers.
To create an outstanding mud kitchen area, choose a hard wearing outdoor mud kitchen that can be returned to over time.
Inspire children to explore the many opportunities that our outstanding mud kitchen accessories offer. Will they be a chef preparing the classes lunch, or a wizard conjuring up magical potions? The possibilities are endless.
The mud kitchen resources are thoughtfully chosen by our experienced curriculum consultants to meet early learning opportunities and to provide children with meaningful outdoor experiences.
