Tom Bedard’s framework, game me a lot to thinking and reflect upon. We have the bare bones of a mud kitchen, but I started to really reflect and think how the children use the space. They love what we have- but I know they will love it even more when we make a few changes. Items with holes, high/ low, and vertical….ahh, things we are missing. Seating in that area would be great addition as well. What I discovered this week- they tend to use all table tops for the cooking and never sit to enjoy it.
Your short tour, allowed me to think and see how it works for you, but also what might work for our little school. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Music to my ears. Can’t wait to see pictures and see how your space is evolving and how the play is changing. Have fun!
My design process for incorporating the mud kitchen continues to be exciting.
As I reflect on our playground play, I have observed the overarching process in our sandbox. Many times we remind the children to “Keep the sand in the sandbox”. I often see the disappointment in their faces as I never allowed them to continue their plan with the sand. My aha moment is now understanding Tom Bedard’s framework and how the children can really explore this space and enjoy sensory play as they should without holding back their creativity and imagination.
Thinking about how they like to transport things from one place to another, We chose a corner area next to the sandbox as our location for the mud kitchen. As a classroom discussion with the children we did ask where they thought it should be. Many had the same idea next to the sandbox. Their reasoning was that the sand was already there and all they needed was water so they could carry the mud back and forth. The actual design is not complete.
As we continue on with our design, I will take careful thought to the elements of a high, medium, and low zone. I am excited to show beginning pictures of building our kitchen in the next week.
I feel like a child myself!
Have fun everyone.

Oh my goodness…this is so exciting. I love your “aha” moments and how you are inviting the children into your process. Tom Beddard’s Framework of Play is amazing and helps guide us (adults) on “letting go” and allowing the children to play. Can’t wait to see your designs.:) Keep up the fantastic work.
