Its standout feature is the etched black perspex stove top — a black perspex panel with hotplate rings etched into the surface, paired with turning knobs for that satisfying \"click\" of adjusting the heat before serving up the next mud pie creation. The perspex surface is scratch-resistant, though not scratch-proof, so it's worth keeping play props to soft-edged, kitchen-safe items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the stove top, the Molly includes a plumbable sink with tap for sensory water play, a chalkboard splashback for writing up today's menu, open shelving for displaying play food and utensils, hanging hooks for aprons and tools, and a lower storage cabinet to keep the whole outdoor kitchen tidy between play sessions. Like the rest of our mud kitchen range, the Molly is supplied unpainted, so it's ready for your family to choose a paint colour that suits your outdoor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMud kitchens support open-ended, screen-free play — mixing, pouring and stirring build fine motor skills, while running a \"cafe\" or \"restaurant\" encourages imaginative role-play, language development and social skills as kids cook and serve alongside friends and siblings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEtched Perspex Stove Top\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack perspex panel with etched hotplate rings and turning knobs, scratch-resistant surface\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlumbable Sink \u0026amp; Tap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor sensory water play (fittings not supplied)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChalkboard Splashback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWrite up daily \"specials\" or a cafe menu\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Shelving \u0026amp; Storage Cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeeps play food, pots and utensils organised\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanging Hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor aprons, utensils and play accessories\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 carton, 110 × 47 × 25cm, 22kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105cm x 100cm x 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpainted timber — painting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStove Top Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black perspex, etched hotplate design, scratch-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notice-painting\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainting Your Mud Kitchen Molly\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Molly arrives in raw, unpainted timber.
