Today I made a little kitchen set out of boxes for my daughter. It was sort of "test" project, because eventually I would like to make her a nice set. I just threw this together to not only see if I could do it, and to use some boxes up, but also to see if she would even play with it.
I made my basic cuts before I decorated the boxes just to make sure it would all work out before I put too much effort into the project. Then I wrapped them with wrapping paper and sharpie-ed some burners and knobs on it. I also made some handles out of the extra cardboard pieces I had.
One of my red mixing bowls made a great sink, and she already has small saucepans of her own to use. Tomorrow we will bake some cookies with it and see if she is interested. She likes to make me soup so I don't have much doubt about it being used.
I should have spray painted the boxes instead of wrapping them, because she thought they were presents and tried to unwrap them. Hopefully, I can get the motivation to build nice ones out of real furniture for her toddler room when the time comes. This will do for now though.
