Checklist For Mud Kitchens
- A mud kitchen should be chosen according to the size of the child, because no child really has fun if they can’t reach everywhere.
- Children usually play with mud kitchens from 1.5 – 2 years old, starting with 40 to 50 cm countertop height. The total height of a mud kitchen is between 80 and 120 cm. In the toddler age, make sure that 100 cm is not exceeded.
- Length and width can be selected individually, especially according to the available space in the garden.
- If several children play with the mud kitchen at the same time, we recommend a larger model with more storage and play space.
- Mud kitchens are made of wood or plastic. Metal parts are often incorporated for added durability.
- Wood is much more durable as well as robust and especially models with a large amount of resin are very weather resistant.
- Plastic kitchens, on the other hand, are easier to move and clean due to their lighter weight.
- For mud kitchens made of wood, however, you usually have to spend more money.
- To make sure that the products are free of harmful substances, you should look for test seals such as Stiftung Warentest.
- Wood splinters or other unclean processing must not be present, so that your child does not injure himself.
- Ideally, matching accessories such as dishes and cooking utensils are often included.
- Compared to normal play kitchens, earth, water and sand are used for “cooking” instead of play food.
- Storage boxes or crates are also essential and you should get these in addition if not included.
- Some mud kitchen manufacturers also offer integrated chalkboards or sound effects for even more fun.

FAQ About The Mud Kitchen
As a rule, mud kitchens can be used from 1 year. However, some are only released from 3 years, because small parts may be included or the kitchen is more detailed.
Both a wooden and a plastic mud kitchen have advantages and disadvantages. A plastic kitchen is easy to move around and clean. A kitchen made of wood, on the other hand, is much sturdier. In addition, the wood is probably visually more beautiful and simple design.
The price of mud kitchens ranges from 40 to over 200€. This is primarily dependent on the material. Wood is more durable and therefore more expensive than plastic. In addition, the size is crucial, where larger kitchens, for example, additionally a freezer compartment or more storage space is given. So with these the price is of course also higher.
