Fast forward 30 years, and those road trips turned into global wanderings, and landed that girl in Australia, with children of her own, and a desire to give them a taste of the playful learning nirvana she had experienced in the museums all those years ago.

And that's how Mud Kitchen began... by scouring the world for products, equipment, and resources that captured the same magic of hands-on, 'old-school' immersive screen-free play that was so captivating and memorable.

Since that time, Mud Kitchen has cemented its niche in Australia by supplying a vast array of classrooms, communities, businesses, and homes with larger-than-life, high quality, and truly unique playful learning products. We are proud to distribute some of the world's most innovative educational brands, including Big Blue Blocks (Imagination Playground), Rigamajig, and Kodo. And we're even prouder to have developed products of our own, designed and manufactured in Australia, and sold all around the world.

We consult with educators, museum curators, early childhood professionals, parents, and most of all, kids themselves, as we test ideas, pick our products, and build our Mud Kitchen collections. We know we offer something special, and we would love to share it with you and your school, your home, your community, but especially, your kids... and Australia's future.

Thanks for getting to know us, we hope to know you soon, too!

All the best,

Liz, Stephanie, Laura, Katie, Hannah & the whole Mud Kitchen Team
