How to Construct a Play Kitchen
- 1). Turn one box upside down. Glue sheet cardboard, the same width but approximately four inches taller, to the back for a back splash.
- 2). Cut a large, rectangular flap in the front for the oven door. Leave the uncut side for the "hinge" along the bottom. Spray paint the inside black, and the outside whatever color you like.
- 3). Cut a rectangle in the oven door. Glue a clear page divider to the inside of the door to make a window.
- 4). Glue a paper towel roll to the door to be a handle. Glue old CDs, upside-down, onto the top surface as burners. Glue on bottle caps as knobs to the back splash.
- 1). Stand your box upside down. Glue a sheet to the back, about four inches taller than the box.
- 2). Make a cabinet door on the front by cutting a large, rectangular flap to open sideways. Spray paint the unit. Glue on a bottle cap or painted toilet paper roll as a door handle.
- 3). Find a bowl or basin at least four inches smaller than the top of the sink surface. It must have a lip around the edges.
- 4). Measure around the bowl or basin, just under the lip. Cut a hole in the top of your sink of that size. Place the bowl or basin into the hole. It should sink all the way in, except for the lip which will stop it from falling through.
- 5). Glue on painted paper toilet paper roll tubes, cut in half, just behind the basin for knobs. Cut out a cardboard shape to resemble a faucet and glue it between the knobs.
- 1). Turn a tall box upside down. Measure the top of the refrigerator. Cut two cardboard sheets to the same size.
- 2). Cut a rectangular flap, sideways, like the sink cabinet, on the bottom two-thirds of the box. Cut a smaller rectangular flap, sideways, just above it, on the upper third. Bend back the flaps to create the fridge doors.
- 3). Slide in the cardboard sheets, spacing them out, to create shelves. Glue them in place, wherever the edges touch the inside of the box. Spray paint the fridge and attach painted toilet paper tubes to the front as handles.
