Ready, Steady, Cake!


Take the children to visit a local bakery or the relevant aisle in a supermarket. Seeing all the cakes on show will inspire all sorts of muddy creations in your mud kitchen, from sponge cakes to brownies. Provide some decorative items or see what the children collect from the natural world around them. Use a blackboard or clipboard to list the cakes available from the kitchen. You could invite staff and/or parents to choose a treat or even judge a bake off !

From Here, There and Everywhere


Children are often not aware of how far the food they enjoy has travelled or the cultures they are associated with. Using food stones, children can select produce that they would like to learn more about. Going together to a shop or market to buy examples is a good learning experience, as is checking the packaging to fi nd out more about the origins of the foods. They will enjoy comparing the food stones with the real thing and be inspired to create their own versions in the mud kitchen, asking questions and telling stories as they play!
