Description
Inspire outdoor learning with this Mud Kitchen Bench with Hob, a ready-made resource carefully curated by Early Excellence specialists to spark curiosity, creativity and collaboration. It provides a purposeful space for outdoor exploration, inspiring children to mix, create and experiment with materials confidently. Pair with the Mud Kitchen Accessories Collection 3-7yrs and Mud Kitchen Bench with Sink for a complete mud kitchen area.
Constructed from high-quality, durable, hard-wearing timber, delivered fully assembled, this robust bench is designed to withstand daily use in busy outdoor classrooms. It features four integrated stove plates that provide a realistic surface for mixing and combining materials. A wooden shelf with hooks allows for easy organisation of utensils, while a lower storage shelf keeps pots, pans and natural materials readily accessible. The child-safe door is designed to prevent little fingers from being trapped, ensuring safe independent use.
Through purposeful mixing, pouring and transporting of soil, water and natural materials, children develop core physical skills including balancing, carrying, lifting and controlled movement. The bench also promotes collaboration as children share resources, plan their “recipes” and negotiate roles during their investigations.
Children can collect leaves, petals and natural objects to create mixtures and “potions,” observing changes in colour, texture and scent. Extend these opportunities with the Set of Bug Jars and Magnifiers or the Exploring Nature Resource Collection 3–7yrs to further observational and investigative learning.
For additional enrichment, pair this bench the Mud Kitchen Resource Collection 3–7yrs, a Set of Outdoor Utensils and the Set of Outdoor Metal Bowls to support mixing, sorting and imaginative kitchen scenarios.
