How To Make A Childrens Play Kitchen

I am so excited to finally share the costless plans for this DIY Play Kitchen that I built for my girl! She is a alpine 8-yr-old and her top asking for Christmas was a Play Kitchen. Subsequently searching and searching online, I realized that there are no big kid play kitchens! She towered over her former one, which is why we donated it. So, since I I did not want to invest in some other tiny kitchen, I decided to design and build ane for her.

DIY Play Kitchen

This was the most fun projection that I have built in my ten years of building! My goal was to not just brand the size more proportionate to a big kid simply as well to give it a very realistic look. I got creative and love how I was able to include a farmhouse sink, real stove burners and a peninsula.
