They are allowed to dig in the garden as well. Everyday is endless imaginative play with everything! If you Google Mud Kitchen or search for it on Pinterest that describes my space pretty well.
Awesome, thank you! I think we could use some more open ended items outside. We are in the suburbs have almost no interesting natural items in my backyard at the moment.
