    Here's mine!

    Donations from parents & a wooden pallet from a friends van! Not quite finished yet but workable

    I have it next to the playhouse and have herbs and an overgrown flower bed for mud pie garnishes and salad

    Yours looks great! I wish my partner was DIY minded

    I've finally decided to go a bit further with my pots and pans / mud/sand and create a mud kitchen. I don't know why I've had reservations since I last posted because I really love the idea!! I think because I've seen the way mud makes the rest of my garden such a mess and the horrified look on some of the parents when they see it! Not only that but at the moment its free flow between my garden and house so I don't know if children are covered head to toe in mud that \i really want them wondreing in and out and carrying it in! Also when i bring them in and clean them up and get them changed whether I really want them to go back out and get messy again - especially if its pick up time iyswim !! Anyone who has one of these kitchens can you give me some advice - do you let kids just 'go for it' and loads of free choice or do you restrict it to certain times or have certain rules?

    In a skip down the road there is a metal kitchen sink with draining board and a gas oven - I tried to persuade my husband to get them out for my mud kitchen but he was having none of it. In the end I comprised and took out a couple of plastic planters with faces on for a gardening project.

    The house is empty but being done up for sale, the owner has gone into a home - I had some nice melamine shelving out of the skip for my playroom last week.

    My husband says I'm embarassing him but surely it is just recycling?

    Of course it's recycling! Go for it (get your next door neighbour to help if you can't lift it on your own).

    Wish I lived in your neck of the woods - I'd be skip-diving
