Mud Kitchen

 There are some weeks we can't go to the forest simply because of weather. Today, however, we forwent going to the forest so the boys could play in an area we don't typically spend much time in, the mud kitchen! This part of the hillside isn't visited often because of the simple rotating schedule we abide by for all of the different zones that are roped off. Since the boys have really shown expanding play skills we figured the mud kitchen would be a nice change.

It was quite successful! As soon as the door of the kitchen opened up, the boys began exploring. They got out pots, pans, muffin tins, bowls, spoons, and cups to begin their pretend play. While some were more interested than others in prepping food, those who chose not to found another way to play. We had some cooks at the stove and a kitchen jam band near by providing all kinds of enjoyable music. A busy musical morning for our Wednesday 😊
