Our Play Space: Mudpie Kitchen on a Balcony

A peek inside a reader’s play space…

I’m beyond thrilled to introduce to you our mud pie kitchen! It has all the elements of play that’s close to any child’s heart – cooking, getting touchy feel-y in mud and water, making pretend dishes, washing utensils and – well – feeling oh-so-busy!

The best part is – this has become a space for much play, collaboration and friendships. Not only my daughter’s friends huddle here; even some adults – my family members – like my mom and sis-in-law get tempted to get their hands dirty in the mud.

Thank you Rashmie of Mommy Labs for sharing! You can see (and read) more about her family’s fun in their mudpie kitchen here. If you have a playful space in your home (or preschool) why not share it with others! Submit your play space here.

Looking for more inspiration for the kid’s spaces in your home? I have a fun Kid’s Spaces board on Pinterest. If you are on Pinterest, you can follow me here.
