DIY Cardboard Kids Play Kitchen
I noticed that my son enjoys playing in the play kitchen when we visited our cousin's place for a vacation and also during playdates at our friend's house. So, I was thinking about whether I should buy him one or make him one. While this thought was running at the back of my mind, I found this cardboard box in our storage room and the moment I saw the box it screamed "DIY play kitchen". The shape was perfect for the layout I wanted and here is how I made this play kitchen.
Close the top portion of the cardboard with hot glue. Design and mark the layout for the oven, refrigerator, drawer, sink and any other kinds of stuff(like knobs) based on your requirement using a ruler and a marker. For the sink, trace the outline of the plastic box you planned to use as a sink on the top of the cardboard box.
Use a box cutter or craft knife and cut the areas where necessary. Make slits for inserting handles and insert the handles and glue them in place
If you don't have those, you can always make your own handles using plastic cutting mat from the dollar store (they come 2 in a pack) or any plastic disposable containers. Cut the plastic for the required length and sandwich in between the duck tape.

That is adorable and very cleverly done!!!
Reminds me of one made for myself and my sister and brother when we were kids. Thanks for sharing! Could be a fun project to even partially make with the kids. Maybe the planning and possibly painting anyway. Thanks for sharing!😊
