In the summer, many children are taken to the dacha to see their grandmother and grandfather. Children will always have fun there if you provide them with various entertainment. Not only girls, but also boys will be able to play in the toy kitchen. And you can make it from ordinary cardboard boxes.
Toy kitchen for children - master class
To please your child with such pieces of furniture for him, take:
- carton boxes;
- sheets of cardboard;
- 2 CDs;
- clerical or breadboard knife;
- glue gun;
- the cloth;
- paint;
- decor elements.
If you have a large flat box, you can make a tabletop out of it. If there is a box lid of this size, it will become a kitchen apron. If there are no such ready-made items, then, having familiarized yourself with the diagram, you can make these items from cardboard or boxes yourself. The dimensions of the table are 40 x 90 cm. Mark such a rectangle on the cardboard, cut out the corners, then connect them with a glue gun to add volume to the table top. On the top of the kitchen, you need to cut two corners. The dimensions of this element are also 40 x 90 cm.
A toy kitchen will be more durable if you take a ready-made 55 x 47 cm box as a base. If there is no such box, then make this element from durable corrugated cardboard.
It's time to arrange the oven. First mark its location, then cut it out with a utility knife.
Now we need to make a slab. In order for it to rise slightly above the burner controls, you need to take a rectangular sheet of corrugated cardboard and glue it where the hob will be located. Now you can glue a flatter sheet of cardboard on top. Mark where the burners will be and glue them there. As you can see, CD discs play the role of burners.
Make the burners out of bottle caps. To make them rotate, glue on the reverse side along the self-tapping screw, aligning the cap and cap. Then it remains to screw the self-tapping screw into the cardboard. To make this place more durable, glue the holes on one side and on the other with a metal or plastic washer. Use a felt-tip pen to draw a heating scale.
Glue a shelf out of cardboard into which the child will put various toy kitchen utensils.
Take a plastic bowl and attach it to the right side of the countertop, outline the contours. Step back 1–2 cm on all sides and cut. This trick will help keep this makeshift sink firmly on the table. But you can additionally glue its edges with a hot gun.
This is how the toy kitchen is going to be created next. Take a piece of fabric of the correct size, fold it on top twice and sew here. A rope is inserted into the resulting gap. Its ends are glued to the back of the countertop. Using felt-tip pens and paint, paint a tile look on the backsplash. Your child will be happy to help you do this part of the work.
He will also arrange the kitchen utensils at his discretion and will be able to play in such an impromptu kitchen.
If you like a toy kitchen made from plywood, then check out the next master class. But such a craft requires more time and skills. But the child will be delighted with such a gift, he will be able to work with the spinning drum of the washing machine, rotate the burners, admire the lit stove.
DIY plywood children's kitchen
To create a toy kitchen for kids, take:
- plywood sheets;

Depending on the size of the room where you will put this set, you can make your own adjustments.
Make your own sketch of a children's kitchen or redraw an existing one with your own hands.
In this case, there is a place for a kitchen apron, a tabletop, a base of a refrigerator, a washing machine, a stove and a kitchen table with a hob and a sink are made of plywood. Connect the plywood parts using corners.
Sand all wooden objects so that there are no various holds and irregularities, and the child does not prick on sharp edges.
Now cover these parts with a primer, and when it dries, cover with paint.
So that the borders of the paint colors are not blurred, the places of their joint must be glued with masking tape.
Here the kitchen apron is plastic thin. You can buy this at a hardware store. Purchase hooks there or on the market, attach them with self-tapping screws.
In a store like Leroy Merlin you can buy a cheap tap. Attach such a faucet to your kitchen. Cut holes for washing, use a stainless steel bowl as it.
Here the hob door is attached so that it opens to the left. This is done so that the child does not climb on this door with his feet if it opens down.
Screw the handle, hinges to it. In the oven on the right and left, attach the plywood slats to the walls so that the baking sheet rests on them. Then it can be conveniently pulled out and put in place.
The doors are attached with hinges.
My daughter will be very happy if her toy kitchen gets a comfortable table. Here she can put pots for dolls, and in the upper drawer - cutlery.
Paint the inside of the refrigerator with white acrylic paint to make it look like a real one. Place shelves here so your child can put fabric, papier-mâché, and other materials in them. A metal box can be attached to the side; toy eggs, felt cheese will be stored here.
Children's kitchen for girls will be simply extraordinary if you have glowing burners. To make them, take this LED flashlight. Open it, remove the two LEDs.
Glue them to the fiberboard, then connect the switch structure to the lantern.
One button is designed to turn on and off 1 burner, and the second - for 2. The design is powered by a battery.
This is how it all looks from the inside.
Here's how to make a hob. To do this, you need to take a rectangle of plexiglass and round its corners by turning them. Now you need to draw two circles on each side with a felt-tip pen on the reverse side of this part so that the result is rings. They are covered with masking tape, and the rest of the surface on the back side is covered with black spray paint. You need two layers. When they are dry, you need to remove this masking tape and cover these rings with red paint in 2 layers. When this paint is dry, this hob is glued to the worktop.
To make the burner switches not just spin, but make an interesting sound at the same time, use these children's ratchets.
It is necessary to cut off the central part from such a toy, then glue it to the plywood. In this way, as many burners are connected as needed.
To close the distance between these elements to the button, you need to glue pieces of a plastic tube to these places.
The toy kitchen is very addicting. The child will get acquainted with her objects for a long time, play with the washing machine. To make this item, in this case, a dial from an old phone was glued. It has become a kind of switch for washing modes. You can also attach a one-key button to turn on the machine in this way.
Attach a small drawer to the left, into which the detergent will be poured. These pens in the form of flowers or pandas can also be bought at Leroy Merlin.
Make the drum out of a plastic colander, and the base using the lid from an old microwave oven. Borrow the motor from a broken radio-controlled car.
Then the drum of the machine will rotate. Now see how the parts are held together. Here, the container for filling the laundry detergent is made from an ice cream box, which is covered with aluminum tape.
Saw a hole in the washing machine. Insert the container here, hang the lid on a small loop so that the machine closes tightly.
If you don't have a kitchen faucet, an umbrella handle will do. You need to saw off the bottom part of the required size, and then cover it with silver paint or glue on aluminum foil.
Here's what happens.
Take a closer look at how this washing machine works. The door is secured with a conventional door magnet.
The colander is attached to the motor by a gear from a radio-controlled car. That one is fixed on the board for stability. Then it's time to try out your washing machine by plugging in a phone charger that converts volts. In this case, you can plug it into an outlet.
You can buy or sew pockets for various little things with your own hands. Install a mirror in which the young mistress will sometimes look with pleasure.
Now let the girl arrange the dolls at her own discretion. Give a scrubbing sponge, an empty detergent bottle, or a harmless soap solution.
The girl will be able to learn to farm, playing with enthusiasm in such a kitchen.
And food can be sewn from a variety of materials. See how delicious vegetables, fruits, cheese and bread are made from fabrics and soft fillings.
