I can’t express how excited I am about this! I’ve been keeping my eye out for the perfect mud kitchen for a long time and lo and behold came through!
Lots of dry mud, clay and stones- as well as a stubborn tree root- but it’s taking shape! Eek! A frog jumped out at one point which was the highlight for my son.
