Single Mud Kitchen

Big play, smaller footprint.

Our Single Mud Kitchen packs all the ingredients for wonderfully messy outdoor play into a compact 60cm-wide design. There’s a removable stainless steel bowl, a wooden stovetop, chunky knobs, handy utensil storage, and the option to add a real working tap or a removable chalkboard.

Handmade in our Cape Town workshop from H3-treated South African pine and finished with ProNature Outdoor Wood Sealer, it’s a proper little outdoor kitchen designed for gardens, patios, and smaller play spaces.

Features

Built for Real Outdoor Play
We don’t simply make an indoor play kitchen and call it an outdoor one. Our Mud Kitchens are made from H3-treated South African pine, specifically treated for outdoor use, and finished with ProNature Outdoor Wood Sealer, a locally made, natural, plant-based finish that helps protect the timber outdoors.

Strong, sturdy and made for life outside, it’s a proper piece of wooden outdoor play furniture designed for years of adventures.

Compact Design, Big Possibilities
At just 60cm wide, the Single Mud Kitchen is a great choice for smaller gardens, patios and play spaces without compromising on play.

There’s no single way to use a Mud Kitchen. Today it might be a café, tomorrow a potion laboratory and next week a garden kitchen filled with leaves, flowers, sand and water.

Stainless Steel Bowl & Wooden Stovetop
A removable, easy-to-clean stainless steel bowl sits alongside a wooden stovetop with chunky wooden knobs, offering plenty of opportunities for pouring, stirring, scooping, and imaginative cooking at a child-friendly height.

Yes, It’s a Real Working Tap
Add the optional working tap and connect it directly to a standard garden hose for real water play.

Perfect for pouring potions, filling bowls, washing dishes, experimenting with water and creating the inevitable puddles that come with a good afternoon outside.

The tap comes with plumber’s tape and a hosepipe connector fitting to help you get set up.

Optional Removable Chalkboard
Add a chalkboard for café menus, recipes, drawings or very important potion notes.

The chalkboard hangs from the utensil hooks, so it can easily be moved or removed as play changes.

Handmade in Cape Town
Every Mud Kitchen is made by our small team in our Cape Town workshop. We cut, build, sand and finish each one ourselves, right down to the wooden stovetop and chunky knobs.

It takes a little longer than pulling one from a warehouse shelf. We think that’s rather the point.

Made for Life Outside
Yes, your Mud Kitchen can live outdoors. We use H3 treated pine and ProNature Outdoor Wood Sealer specifically because our Mud Kitchens are designed for outdoor play.

Like any quality wooden garden furniture, a little ongoing care will help protect the timber and keep it looking its best for years. Keeping it undercover where possible will always extend the life of the finish, but it isn’t essential.

Simple Setup
The base of your Mud Kitchen arrives fully assembled. Simply position the backboard, line up the pre-drilled holes and secure it using the screws provided.

Then it’s ready for play.
