Incredible kitchen made from boxes - even adults will love it. Stylish DIY kitchen for girls DIY toy kitchen for girls

Hello! Tell me, have you tried to make your children’s playroom yourself? If you have experience in this matter, share it in the comments! I and all readers will be very grateful to you for this! And, continuing the topic, today I will tell you what needs to be done to make a kitchen made of cardboard for a child with your own hands. Of course, everyone can participate in the manufacturing process, both adults and our main assistants, children. After all, everything is done for them.

Kitchen from scrap materials

Before we start tinkering, it’s worth addressing a few questions:

1. Where will the craft be placed?
2. Based on the first point - what size will it be?
3. What material will be used (perhaps some are already in stock, but others will have to be purchased)?
4. What is the age of the baby for whom it is made. And also, right there, at this point: are we going to make crafts for a girl or a boy?
5. Will it be durable design or for a short time?

Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to make a layout or drawing on paper to at least roughly see what we will be aiming for.

If there is a suitable place for a large structure in a child's room, that is wonderful. Then you can create a play area where the house will find its place (we talked about it in one of the articles), and the kitchen will also be located here.

Space allows, we can make a craft that will not be for our child’s toys, but for him. That is, according to its size, both tables and stoves.

The most suitable material for "furniture" there will be simple box. We will also need pieces of wallpaper, colored and multi-colored paper, paints, and also children's dishes. And among the tools - scissors, a stationery knife, glue, tape, possibly a stapler (but only for fastening parts where the baby will not get caught and get hurt). For realism, you can take accessories from old furniture. Plastic bottle caps are also very helpful.

The size will depend on the age. The comfort of the baby is important, so that when playing, he does not hunched over, but also does not stretch. And yet, it will be more interesting for a boy if there are more “technical devices”, such as a toaster, microwave, etc. Perhaps your baby will enjoy fixing all these things more than fiddling around in the kitchen.

If you plan for your little one to regularly play in his kitchen, you will need to try and make the structure more durable. Perhaps then something from real kitchen can be transferred. For example, chairs or some dishes.

What can be made:

• Bake,
• Table,
• Sink,
• Fridge,
• Closet,
• Devices;
• Dishwasher, etc.

It seems that we have not forgotten all the main points. All that remains is to put everything into practice. Let's see how to make both a toy and a game for toddlers. A small master class.

Master class: Kitchen

Small comfortable kitchen

The kitchen is only 2 boxes, but it has everything you need: a stove, a refrigerator, a shelf and a small countertop. Project and implementation belongs to Alis from Spain.

Kitchen with sink, stove and slate board

My favorite thing about this kitchen was the slate board idea. After all, it is very easy to make and fits into the kitchen, and the baby will be delighted - 2 toys in one! The author of the idea shared master class on your personal blog.

How to make a slate board? There are many recipes. The easiest one is to paint it black. acrylic paint. It will last a long time, the child will get tired of it faster than spoil it. There are more durable options: with the addition of grout for joints, putty.

How to make a slate-magnetic board? Magnetic soil or a special film is used as a basis for it.

Large kitchen-cafe

If you have already drawn up a rough plan of work, and know what to do and how, if you have accumulated enough boxes, then go ahead! And also, think about what you will do and what you will entrust to the baby. Children's work doesn't have to be difficult; rather, creative.

And today I will tell you about a wonderful idea for such a kitchen that belongs to one young mother from the Philippines - Rodessa Villanueva-Reyes.

Here we go? What do we do:

• Let's put the boxes in their places. Our big ones will be a refrigerator and an oven. A table and cabinet can be made from several small ones.
  
• Don't forget that we want to keep everything as close to the real thing as possible. So, draw on top of the furniture, etc. doors and windows. The hole in the sink should be the size of the bowl that we will allocate for this. Cut out all these holes.
  
• Now let's give it all decorative look. Cover the cardboard with wallpaper and paper.
• Perhaps appliqués need to be made somewhere. For example, if there is a “window”, then we will glue curtains to it; or, “handles” to the doors, “burners” on the stove, or a program of operation on the microwave.
  
  
  
• All that remains is to arrange the flowers and dishes in their places.
  
• Do you want to call it a Restaurant or give it a name "restaurant". Then you need to make an elegant sign or even an advertising brochure.
  
  

Kitchen appliances made of cardboard

And today I propose to make a toaster.

While playing, the child will also learn time!

Found a wonderful master class on the blog estefimachado

What about the products?

Last time we did, but for this kitchen we need more ingredients. As you can see in the photo above, excellent toast and scrambled eggs are made from cardboard.

How do you like cardboard pizza?

Another option is felt products. How delicious they are! You don't even need to sew them.

And the bones and veins can be drawn with wax crayons or felt-tip pens. If desired, of course, you can sew it together and stuff it with cotton wool for volume.

My daughter Masha began to take an interest in kitchen chores by the age of two! And we decided to give her a children's kitchen for her birthday. We studied the stores' offers, compared the prices, and assessed the quality. I didn't like anything. Even the most expensive options left much to be desired.

We decided that we would make the kitchen ourselves! While my husband was actively working, I drew a sketch and determined the dimensions of the future structure. Dad was greeted ready to visit the hardware store. We bought the essentials, planning to use what would no longer be useful at home. It's even more interesting!

The base for our kitchen was the nightstand. No one has used it for a long time.

We carried out an inspection of the house and found an old disassembled desk, several slabs of chipboard.

We replaced the top of the bedside table with a tabletop that was previously covered with a film that imitates marble. The base was installed from below, the side parts and the top shelf were attached.

The sink was installed. It was a stainless bowl.

While our dad was working, I decided to make a stove myself. I used two flat flashlights with LEDs. I took them apart, took out the rings with semiconductor devices and, using small self-tapping screws, screwed them to thick cardboard.

On top I glued another layer of cardboard with holes for rings and buttons.

Then I used a sheet of black cardboard the same size as the main one and cut out circles corresponding to the diameter of the LED rings. WITH inside I glued thick film from a doll box onto the slots and painted the edges with bright nail polish.

I made slits in place of the buttons. WITH outside glued disks onto film circles, leaving free space. The holes for the buttons were sealed with aluminum tape, extruding the shape of the buttons. Added a little decor.

Pasted it front part to the base. She covered the top with thick film and placed the structure in a poster frame.

I drilled holes in the countertop under the future stove to hide the wires.

The hob was secured using liquid welding and covered with aluminum tape around it so that the child would not pick it off. The result is a glass-ceramic panel with touch buttons.

Everything is working!!!

Plywood was attached under the tabletop. They drilled a hole in it and inserted a light bulb for oven. The battery pack was also located there.

The inner walls of the oven were covered with self-adhesive film, and guides were attached for the baking sheet, the role of which was played by a plastic tray.

The panel has

• button to start the oven, turn on the light;
• a temperature controller made from the front wheels of an old car, decorated with aluminum tape;
• a timer made of rear wheels equipped with a spring mechanism, which, after winding, returns to its original position, simulating the end of the cooking process.

The door was made of chipboard. We cut a hole in the slab and covered it with the remaining film from doll box, attached a handle, as well as a magnet holding the door, which was hung on its hinges.

My husband made the washing machine. For the drum, he used a plastic colander - the base of the lid for microwave oven. The motor was removed from an old broken radio-controlled car.

This is how everything is attached inside. What glitters is the detergent container. It is made from an ice cream container and covered with aluminum tape.

The machine panel has a power button (the light comes on), an opening powder compartment, and a dial for selecting the washing mode from the teether.

I still can’t believe that I have FINALLY completed my BIGGEST unfinished construction! I was inspired by a chest of drawers from Lena Nikitina back in the fall, and I nursed my ideas for a long time and thought about where to get the material, and how to pull this whole thing off so that my husband wouldn’t kick me out onto the street with such a large-scale project. And so, somehow I was dragging myself out of the store, loaded with string bags of groceries, past the trash heap, and there was cardboard exactly like I needed - HUGE and not very wrinkled. My husband wasn’t at home, so I threw my string bag and went back to get some cardboard. The cardboard, although large, was quite thin. I glued it together into a 70x70 square and put it aside until better times, when I could get hold of more cardboard. A month later, somewhere in the store with Kristinka, they asked for several boxes, my husband stomped his feet, threw my cardboard boxes from one corner of the room to the other, so it was necessary to put this stuff into action quickly. Here's what came out of those stocks:

My cardboard something stood in this form until the new year, because 1. The cardboard ran out. 2. I was terribly unhappy with the crooked shape that turned out - there are no right angles in it! But I’m a builder, but I’m ashamed!

I wouldn’t have finished anything if it weren’t for my husband, who started stomping his feet again - “What kind of cabinet is this, it’s just taking up space! Either finish it, or I’ll throw it away!” In short, I again stocked up on materials, and firmly decided to finish my something for my youngest’s birthday. And I was hooked! Changed the technology a bit and top part it turned out better.

Here is the result:

The faucet - Kristinka took out the shower at the right time while bathing, the fittings were cheap - 100 rubles, self-adhesive, the cabinets inside were painted with water-based emulsion, the sink - a stainless steel bowl, the burners - metal lids from cans painted with a marker. The oven door on top is magnetized with magnets from the grower to the coins. The valves on the stove are made from corks from Agushi (with bolts - you can turn them) with acrylic paint to match, but the paint is peeling off... Another disappointment - the hinges on the stove and the drawer to the kitchen itself are screwed with self-tapping screws coated with glue and hold tolerably well, but to the doors you can’t screw the loops on, so I just sewed them on, it’s somehow unreliable, but I can’t think of anything better, can anyone tell me how to attach them?

Such a play item as a children's kitchen has already become a full-fledged part of the children's interior. What child wouldn't be happy to see a small copy in his room? adult kitchen. This is not just a set of furniture and various kitchen utensils, it is, first of all, an opportunity to engage your child in play.

Here you can cook lunches and dinners, invite household members for tea, and if adult relatives are full-time, they can always be replaced with dolls. And everything will be completely real!

Toy kitchen can be in a wonderful way introduce a child, regardless of his gender, to food products, functions kitchen appliances and furniture, as well as instill important social skills such as table manners.

However, if you have already been to children's stores in search of a play kitchen for your child, you have probably already seen these prices? Even such kits are quite expensive. We offer you to get acquainted with several ideas for creating your own game kitchen furniture. By the way, for this purpose, it is quite possible to use items from IKEA.

Shelving, chairs, bookcases, bedside tables and many other things can serve as a basis for your creativity. You can even find pieces of furniture that you won't have to repaint, as this chain offers furniture and miscellaneous items in a wide variety of shapes and colors.

On top you need to make a sink with a tap and a stove, and at the bottom there are shelves for kitchen utensils and an oven.

To wash, you need to find a small sink and, after drilling a hole in the tabletop of the bedside table and sanding the edges, insert it into the prepared socket.

You can screw on a real faucet that has already been used, or be more creative and screw on a faucet instead English letter“J” made of plywood (you can cut it yourself with a jigsaw), for strength, place it on wood glue.

After that, we paint all this beauty in the chosen color, and paint the burners with silver or black paint. We screw on the handles, they can be bought at any store furniture fittings.
