Build your own children’s kitchen: Instructions
Of course, the first thing you need is a big box
Step 2: Dye
Step 3: The hotplates
Just take a big box and glue it up and down with colorful paper. You can either glue the other side again or color it with spray. Then cut out round black circles (4 pieces) and stick them on as cooking plates.
Step 4: The buttons
To make our children’s kitchen real, we naturally need buttons for the hotplates. Just cut them from another box of different color and stick them under the hotplates. But you have to fix the small circles so you can turn. If you want to make your buttons even more real, there is another variant. Make 4 holes and take 4 tealights. Remove the wick and make a small hole at the tealight with a nail. Attach these from the inside. Write numbers on the buttons and you’re done!
Step 5: The sink
Step 6: Use an old sink or large metal bowl
Every kitchen needs a cloth
