mud kitchen

another Pinterest find...
when I first saw a picture of one, I thought "no way."
but I kept going back to it, and thinking about it, and working it through in my head
until I just knew that this was something the daycare kids needed.

 

I began scouring and searching  for a table and kitchen
items to fill it with...
after finding the table on clearance I realized it needed something more
so the chalkboard was created..

 

last night I found this wicker basket set at hobby lobby, at half price...loved that
picked up a few inexpensive kitchen items.  Also found items at the dollar store and of all places
Pamida.

but the best source was the thrift store..where I picked up tiny pans and pots
and all sorts of kitchen stuff...and when I checked out the best news of all
everything was half price yesterday...
yes that just made my day

so today while they napped I set it up...and now it waits for them to head outdoors
and to discover all the fun an outdoor kitchen can bring.
can't wait to see what they create..
