What are some of the benefits of having a mud kitchen?

Mud kitchens are a great learning feature that promotes all types of learning including sensory, creative and exploratory play. Children learn to take turns, problem solve with others and develop their language skills whilst explaining what they are making.  It also helps them with physical skills such as learning to stir, mix, carry and pour water. Use fine motor skills such as holding tongs, forks and spoons.  Children also learn to count, measure water in cups and weigh materials.  Mud kitchens may be a little messy but they are full of magic.

The University of Western Australia has identified that nature play also has an important role in combating the increasing rates of childhood obesity, depression, behavioural disorders and the risk-averse culture that is developing in children, all of which have been linked to the rise in indoor screen-based activities.
Children who play outdoors are also more resistant to stress and have higher self-worth.
