The Mud Kitchen - A Recipe for marvellous Outdoor play

Welcome! I am sharing the newest edition to Dimples out door play area today. The awesome and totally messy mud kitchen. The best recipe for engaging children in messy, active, outdoor learning is with mud. Here is the DIY mud kitchen that we built for Dimples in a few hours using recycled materials. The mud kitchen is built from off cuts of wood that I painted with chalk board paint, they're butted in to a old sink that came from a wrecked caravan, you could grab one from the wreckers or the buy back at the tip.

Nearby I have up cycled an old sand pit as a mud pit. Playhouse Log Cabin. 25 Free Backyard Playground Plans for Kids: Playsets, Swingsets, Teeter Totters and More! Now that you’ve built your picnic table… it’s time to build your kids the ultimate backyard playground!

How to Make a PVC Sand Table for Children

We have had 2 of these sand tables now for over 4 years and they work great. I doubt you will be able to find one commercially to match their price and durability. We have been wanting to have a third for a while now so here is a write up for how we made it. The credit for the original design of this sand table goes to an article in the July 2005 issue of Family Fun magazine.

Mummy Musings and Mayhem: Weekend Wallabies & Wanderings......

Here are a few snippets from our weekend....i mainly stayed away from the computer of which i am most proud of....it really did allow me to just relax and be with family and get some of those jobs done that are always easier with another set of hands around! This cheeky wallaby poked his head over the back fence Saturday morning to say hi! Was probably heading to the side yard where he can get to the vegetable patch!

Beach in the Backyard

There are quite a few outdoor projects that we have slowly been working on every Saturday. All projects(minus the one that I am showing you today) are about 50% done. None would make it to being 100% done, if we hadn’t built this first… The previous owners of our home had built a special place to put their patio furniture.It was a 7 ft by 7 ft box. We thought it was kind of strange. We started by taking all of the stone off and temporarily relocating it to other parts of the yard. Next we dug out most of the dirt and relocated that to other parts of the yard. Then we dug deep holes to hold our pvc pipe. Then we rolled out the landscaping fabric, cut it to size, and secured it to the ground with landscaping staples. Then we poured in the sand! And of course, our son just patiently waited till this was done :) More like tried to crawl out of his swing.

Next step was to paint the pvc pipe. The last piece to this back yard beach was the awning. Flickr: Intercambio de fotos. Google Image Result for.
