Mud kitchen
Kids love getting dirty – it’s in their nature! And what better place for them to do it than in the great outdoors.
Our mud kitchen is a firm favourite with children of all ages as they roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty.
Complete with pots, pans, teapots and cookie cutters, our mud kitchen is the perfect spot to encourage children to get creative.
The potting shed
Our popular potting shed houses all that budding gardeners need to grow their very own plants from seed.
Simply step inside and follow the instructions to pot your very own seed to take home and watch flourish.
