I love the mud pie kitchens here and here and here. We are going to create a little natural playground for Bear and J-jo with a big rock and some stumps in the near future, (where the tree/ bush is behind the chair) but in the meanwhile, I am making do with what I have to create them their very own mud pie kitchen.
Or sand pies as the case may be.
The big plastic bowl on the chair is the "kitchen sink". A board across the sand box acts as a counter/table. I will be going to the thrift store to see if I can round up some cheap wooden spoons and metal bowls and we will put away the sand toys for our beach trip.
The tree/bush in the background has been adopted by Bear as her "house" and she spends a lot of time pretending in there. We have plans to find some stumps for her to use as table and chair in there.
Great use of space! Sammy loves to play with sand and water.. I am sure he would love dirt and water.. just not sure if I am that brave ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe did this last summer and it was a HUGE hit. We used two sawhorses to set up our kitchen and they played for hours! I hope you enjoys your "kitchen" just as much!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what we are going to do for our little guy when the weather warms up! We're still getting snow. Ugh. Anywho, great use of imagination!
ReplyDeleteI love your yard, it looks spacious! We also like mud pie and pretend cooking outside. Hopefully we can do more of it when the rains finally stop!
ReplyDeleteMy children love the sand too. Especially my little girl. She loves to dig and measure and poor.
ReplyDeleteWe have a big plastic tub like yours filled with rice. We keep it on the porch so we don't have to worry too much about clean-up.

Again, we are doing the same thing on the same day. Wow, this is getting crazy!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun, thanks for sharing.
Oh, Julie. You may have just inspired me to let the boys make a huge mess. LOL. It's good for the soul, right?
