Beautifully Made in the UK from ultra-tough, weather-resistant DuraPly, this play station is for real-world outdoor adventures and is built to last. It inspires open-ended, sensory-rich play for curious minds and busy hands – whether your child is running a garden café, baking muddy muffins, or cooking up stone soup, this one-of-a-kind mud kitchen is ready to fuel your child’s imagination and love for the outdoors. Thoughtfully developed to offer maximum creativity, flexibility, and outdoor durability, it’s the only mud kitchen available with this combination of modular features, premium materials, and styling.

Key Features:

• Unique new design in outdoor play – you won’t find another mud kitchen like it. Our Mud Kitchen is designed by experienced product designers and qualifed engineers with safety and longevity in mind. Our registered design has a unique modular design with stylish scallops which allows you to fit optional extras (now, or in the future) or bolt together multiple mud kitchens with ease. Ideal for large nursery's or Forest Schools with lots of hands!

• Made in the UK from premium DuraPly – a PEFC-certified, ultra-durable, fungi and insect resistant material treated for longevity outdoors. Our product is superior to alternatives made from screwed together softwood & decking!

• Montessori-aligned: Our Mud Kitchen encourages independence, creativity, and sensory exploration in nature.

• Built for real play whilst maintaining style in your garden: The base model includes a double sink for the mixing & pouring of multiple mud pies, four ring hob with dials which all individually spin, two wooden frying pans, two taps with rotating handles, a utensil rack and a flower pot shelf with flower pots. Our beautiful scallops can be simply swapped to the rear of the lower shelf for a plain front dial piece if preferred.

• Stainless steel sinks and fixings: All components are designed to be weather-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last throughout childhood!

• British-made, recyclable flower pots: Ideal for growing their own herbs plants to make their next mint or parsley soup recipe or for storing their pretty garden finds (sorry mum!).

• Built to withstand years of weather and wear as your little ones grow up. Just wash down with a hosepipe when it is time to come inside and let it dry off in the sunshine!
