Mud Kitchen Play Station - Handmade
Description: Our Double Sink Mud Kitchen with a back wall is perfect for all sorts of activities such as water play, sand play, and sensory play, outdoors and indoors, year round. Let your child’s imagination run wild by giving them pots and pans, some objects from nature, and scoops, and see what they create. We have been building mud kitchens for over 4 years and have perfected the design. They are built with “L” shaped legs to provide extra support, there are no visible screws on the surfaces, and they are quick and easy to assemble.
The bins are 6” deep, 9.25” wide, and 11.5” long.
Age recommended: All ages love and benefit from sensory play, but if we had to put a recommended age, it would be from walking until pre-teen (1.5 to 12 years old).
Each kitchen comes with a lower shelf, tabletop, 4 legs, a back wall, 2 stainless steel bins and their lids, 2 hooks, 1 shelf for the back wall, and all hardware needed for assembly. Accessories such as play food, pots and pans, baskets, water dispenser and utensils shown in photos are not included. The kitchen will ship 1-2 weeks from ordering date and will arrive in 2 boxes. 1 will have the wooden kitchen and the other will have the bins.
Dimensions: The kitchen is 38.5” long and 16 1/4" deep. The legs are 24” tall.
To Add Running Water: Running water can be added to your kitchen by purchasing our Green Water Faucet Kit, which includes a bendable green faucet, table top extender, and hardware, so you can attach it to the side of the kitchen. Our green water faucet attaches to a garden hose for running water in your kitchen!
To attach the faucet to a hose YOU WILL NEED TO BUY (each piece is approx $6 at your local hardware store)
1. A FAUCET CONNECTOR (see photo) THAT IS 12”-16” LONG AND 1/2 INCH FIP TO FAUCET AND 1/2” FIP TO VALVE (see photo)
2. BRASS GARDEN HOSE ADAPTER 3/4” FH X 1/2 IN MIP (see photo)
Our Mud Kitchens are handmade in the USA by highly skilled Amish builders out of all natural, pine wood. We do not use pressure treated wood.
Stain:***We currently are not able to offer the option to buy the kitchen with stain already applied to it.***
We recommend adding weatherproof staining if you will keep it outside for extended amounts of time and want it to look new for years to come. Please check with your local hardware store to find out what stain is recommended for your climate. Stain will need to be maintained yearly and leaving it unstained will allow it to beautifully grey as it ages, just like a natural wood fence or deck. As the wood ages, it will slowly grey in areas that get the most sun/rain. Greying wood is not an indication that something is wrong with the kitchen or that it is no longer safe to play with. Is is simply a change in color and the kitchen will remain as strong and sturdy as the day we built it for years to come.
Assembly: Some assembly is required and we will send easy to follow instructions and all needed hardware. The only tool you need is a screw driver or screw gun. The table, lower shelf, and back wall are all completely assembled so all you have to do is attach them to the legs. Assembly takes about 10 minutes. Watch our quick YouTube assembly video.
Our mud kitchens are not to be climbed on or sat on. Always supervise children when playing with water and small objects.
