We have a lot of the pots and pans and utensils which have been donated by the parents.
The natural materials are gathered by the children. We have visual cards with photos of natural materials and the children will use the cards as aguide to find the items. I love to watch the children create their own list of items that they want to use. Sometimes they have to create their own materials out of other materials. I have visited many Outdoor Classrooms and the Mud Kitchen is fairly new to many.
