TINY Greenock adventurers are having a muddy good time in their nursery garden thanks to a very talented member of Inverclyde Shed. 

Bluebird Family Centre now has a mud kitchen as part of its outdoor learning space. 

The 'cooker', kitchen unit, shelves, and tables were all crafted by Alan Cameron who has been a member of the Shed for around two years. 

Alan also made a beautiful rocking horse that sits in its own separate paddock in the garden away from the crafty kitchen. 

The team at Bluebird asked Inverclyde Shed if they could help them with some items for the garden just before the summer holidays. 

Alan Cameron and Bluebird pupil Ronan Brown (three)Alan took on the task and said it's great to see the youngsters making using of his creations. 

He added: "I'm so pleased to see them getting some enjoyment out of it. 

"It's all been worth it just to see them running about outside and seeing the smiles on their faces.

"It was a nice wee project for me to get involved in."

The Paint Shed in Greenock donated wooden pallets that Alan used for some of the structures. 

He used golf balls for the dials on the cooker, and laser cut discs for the hob. 

Bluebird early years education and childcare officer (EYECO) Kayley Paul thanked Alan and the Shed for all their help. 

She said: "We've been working on our outdoor space for two years and have done a lot of work on it. 

"A lot of our learning happens outdoors, we're all very outdoorsy here. 

"Being outside helps children build their confidence, use their creativity and imagination, and develop their problem solving skills. 

"It encourages them to be curious and explore as well. 

"We're already seeing them copying some of the activities they're seeing at home in the mud kitchen. 

"They're all really interested in it and it's a fantastic addition to the space."
