You saw some of my mum’s crafty work yesterday, today I present you with the handywork of my dad…
As a gift for Emma’s second birthday, he built her a little play kitchen out of an ikea bedside table and bits and pieces from his shed.
It has everything a little chef could want, a hotplate with a real light that turns on when you press a button, a sink, an oven and a little fridge/cupboard.
Needless to say, Emma loves it.
She already had the pots and pans (from Ikea) but used them as a drum kit before the kitchen.
It’s in the lounge room at the moment and is her second favourite toy (after my iPad).
She loves making toast and eggs, and pretends the oven is HOT. “Be careful mummy, HOT!” I may make some mini oven mitts, she loves wearing ‘glubs’.
Although should I be concerned that she was cooking a dog toy the other day?
That is fantastic! I have a kitchen DIY on my to do list this summer!!
Too darn cute (what talented stock you come from!)
LOVE. much nicer than the horrendous pink affair we have.
What a clever Dad you have! It looks awesome! I have been nagging hubby to make one for the kids for ages.. must show him this post 🙂
Oh, glubs! How sweet 🙂 Tell your dad he's great!
That's super awesome! What handy parents you have 🙂
Ps. I'm sure dog toys are a gourmet feast in make believe land! 🙂
This is so cool! Nice one My Poppet Granddad 🙂
What a clever man! Make sure you send a photo in to ikeahackers.net!
