In the mudpie kitchen for The Playlist

Miss A and Master R got to work in the mudpie kitchen this weekend.

Cooking utensils were assembled, ingredients were sourced, water was added, and mixing, pouring and slopping took place.

Mudpie Cafe was opened for business, and mummy was served a lovely treat, complete with Ice-cream container lids for plates and an extra special drink on the side.  Mmm...delicious x

The Playlist is all about encouraging outdoor, imaginative free ranging play.

Getting Sandy for The Playlist

This weekend has been one of the warmest so far for Spring...and we made the most of it by getting outdoors as much as we could. As always the kids gravitated to the sandpit...Sand will keep my children occupied for hours!

And why wouldn't it...there are so many possible games and adventures to be had in the sand. Sometimes they will be building castles, and sometimes tunnels and tracks for their cars...

...but when the weather is warm, like it was today...a little water is added and the sandpit becomes their very own beach!

This post was inspired by 1000 Homes of Happiness who have set up the Playlist, after this recent news article stated that kids need to get barefoot, wet and dirty to become smarter, wiser and more resilient adults. I love this idea, and if you would like to get involved in The Playlist, head over here.

Hope you have enjoyed the great outdoors this weekend!
