We’re in the process of making a proper pallet up cycle mud kitchen for Toddler H, however, in the mean time I’ve put a few bits and pieces together to make a quick mud kitchen so the toddler can enjoy hours of fun outside… We love all toddler garden activities as they’re he best way to tire her out! 

Here are a few items to make a fab easy outdoor kitchen. It’s also great if you’re lacking space, or don’t want a permanent kitchen. 

1. Sink: aka a silver mixing bowl 

We do plan to insert this into the pallet kitchen hubby is making (slowly as we have a billion other jobs to do)

2. A kitchen counter: aka a plastic box or old plastic sand pit!

Use any size you like! I’ve used a sharpie on the top of this old sandpit to make a stove top. 

3. Some spoons

I’ve just given her some old spoons from the kitchen! Plates and a sieve/colander are also other great ideas. 

4. A saucepan

This plastic saucepan came from nanny’s charity shop haul! 

5. ‘Food’

Grass, mud, water, flowers, petals… 

I’d recommend showing your toddler how to use a mud kitchen if they haven’t seen one before. Once they know what to do they’ll have hours of fun on their own. 

Toddler H loves her makeshift mud kitchen. I can’t wait for her lovely pallet up cycle version to be ready though! I’ve seen so many fab ones on Pinterest.

We’ve also made a water wall… I’ll be popping the blog post up next week so do follow so you don’t miss it! It’s SUPER EASY and QUICK to make too ✔️

I’ve a Pinterest board Homemade Garden Toys with loads of ideas on that we’re hoping to make. Most likely over the next few years…
