It’s been a month or so since our Mud Pie Kitchen (read how it began) has been here and it attracts residents and visitors alike - from every age group!
The other day, my mom and sis-in-law stopped by in the evening when Pari was busy in the balcony with her outdoor kitchen.
It was only for a short while that they could watch and gush over it. For soon enough, first my mom, and then my sis-in-law – both were playing alongside Pari!

As the song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac played on my ipod, its soulful words filled my heart with a dull ache – a misery that I could not recognize immediately but it did not seem a stranger to me either. I heard it once with moist eyes; the second time with a big lump in my throat; the third time around I just needed to connect with myself and figure out what was going on.

I’m beyond thrilled to introduce to you our mud pie kitchen! Ever since I first saw it on ‘Let the Children Play‘, I’ve been yearning to make one for Pari. I knew she would love it. It has all the elements of play that’s close to her heart (in fact, to any child’s heart!) cooking, getting touchy feel-y in mud and water, making pretend dishes, washing utensils and – well – feeling oh-so-busy!
So, we finally have it – on our balcony!
The amount of delight this has brought to Pari is inexplicable and immeasurable! Really.

The last time we went for a nature walk, we came back with tons of ‘finds’ or ‘harvest’ as Pari and I like to call! We were going wild with ideas for what to do or create with our nature collection.
One of the ideas that really struck a chord was to make a 5 senses nature sensory box! This idea sprung from the ‘Garden of Five Senses’ here in Delhi that we’ve visited often.
