Mud Pie Kitchen ~ Am I CRAZY?!

[torontokids]

I had a mud pit they could play with and I'll be honest it wasn't worth it. They didn't like it as much as I thought they would. What we do instead now is I have an outdoor kitchen and they bake cakes etc in there with the sandbox sand which they love. We do dig regularly in the garden for worms etc or to garden so they get lot's of mud time in there.

Last year I let them dig in the dirt and using watercans to make mud. They used scoops, shovels and little trucks. It was more like playing in the sandbox. I did it on a day with a smaller group of kids and just hosed them off afterwards. It is definitely messy, wouldn't do it too often.
