This mud kitchen has a cute and creative look, with large white knobs and square taps that are colour coded for hot and cold water. This will be particularly useful for younger children that are still learning which one is which. 

It also has holes at the top to slot pots into, so kids can learn how to grow and look after their own plants. It's a great find, and has even won an award in 2020 for the best role-play toy! Plus, it comes with five different accessories and the wood is pre-treated and ready to use straight away.

The Charles Bentley mud kitchen is another great budget option with smaller dimensions that's suitable for younger kids. It has all the basics, including an oven, bowl, storage space and blackboard that can be added to if you fancy. 

Perhaps the most appealing feature for kids, however, is the realistic ignition sound which adds to the excitement. And for the parents, it looks attractive with its slightly darker treated fir wood. It's also all sustainably and ethically sourced as the wood comes from an FSC-approved forest.

Here's a more compact version of the Big Game Hunters' triple mud kitchen without an opening oven. It's more modest in size and therefore better for younger children, single-child households or smaller outdoor spaces. 

There are some great features, including a water butt, a working tap and a sliding drainage board you can extend to create more room – perfect if friends come over to play. We also love the large chalkboard space for decorating and writing down recipes.

Plum's kitchen has a unique design, as it includes plant storage and a trellis. You could easily double this up as a gardening station and teach your kids how to grow and care for plants. It also has a wind chime and painting screen that will keep them entertained for hours. 

The construction has a natural woodland look, which will complement any garden, and the FSC-certified wood has been treated so you don't have to worry about doing that yourself. Overall, it's a great find from a very dependable kids' brand. 

Your child's friend or sibling can join in if you purchase this mud kitchen. It's spacious with two sinks so they can have a separate workspace to create their mud pie – you could even turn it into a competition! This option also comes with eight kitchen accessories, making it good value for money.

Produced by reliable brand Chad Valley, it's also likely to last a long time as the construction is sturdy and well made – just remember to coat it with a wood preserver first. To top it off, there's plenty of blackboard space for kids to write down their recipes.

Are freestanding mud kitchens seeming a little out of your budget? You can save money by purchasing this accessory that attaches to a wall. In addition, it still comes with all the basics your child would need, including a large bowl, a water butt and four kitchen accessories.

This is another one that is a little difficult to assemble and will require drilling, so it's best to purchase it if you have some DIY know-how. All in all, it's excellent quality and the wood is sturdy and treated, so it'll last a long time.

This table is perfect if your child would prefer to focus on making mud pies or other concoctions instead of engaging in role-playing. Unlike other options, it doesn't have a pretend oven or other bits and centres more around the sink and pump. 

Admittedly, it does seem a bit expensive considering it only comes with the sink. However, it's still a great product as it's made from sturdy, high-quality acacia wood that's beautifully presented with a shiny finish. It looks good enough to go in a real kitchen!

This mud kitchen benefits from a large mixing bowl with a sliding wooden cover, which can be opened for extra cooking space if playing with friends and family. Kids will have easy access to water, as there's a butt. It'll feel just like a real kitchen as they can turn the tap to release the water!

One thing to note is that it can take a while to construct, and you'll need a drill and perhaps an electric screwdriver to hand. On a positive note, it's a good pick if you're environmentally conscious, as it's made from FSC timber which is ethically and sustainably sourced. 

If your child loves Peppa Pig, why not treat them to this themed mud kitchen? It's beautifully decorated with pink surfaces and an illustration of Peppa in her chef's outfit. The realistic look of the sink and the opening oven will immerse your child in the experience.

It also comes with a range of accessories to keep your child entertained, and it's big, so they'll have enough space to move around. There's plenty of room underneath for storing items, too. Just note that the wood is not treated and some parents report that it is not the strongest, either.
