Kitchen Role Play
Mud, mud,
GLORIOUS mud!
Not only is it wonderfully tactile, mud is also rich in learning opportunities. It connects children to nature and provides numerous open-ended sensory experiences. A mud kitchen – elaborate or homemade – can be a key element of this, and of your outdoor continuous provision.
