The house area in our classroom is one of the most popular areas and is a great area to observe the children grow and learn. By having a kitchen outside on the playground this will bring a whole new world of pretending to my children. Being outside in the fresh air and beautiful scenery will inspire their work, because after all children’s play is their work and they work hard. There are so many awesome things children learn through pretending such as social skills, language skills, math, science and problem solving skills. Take a moment and think about the math and language skills that happen in your own kitchen: the recipes, the conversations, measuring, accounting for guests and or visitors, not to mention the power of their imaginations growing.
There have been so many times my children pretend that the wood chips are food or they pretend to serve ice cream and ask for plates, cups, or other household items. Why not bring the kitchen outside?
Having a kitchen available outside will open so many new and exciting opportunities for children to grow and learn.
