Simple Play Kitchen

Foodie Play Stove
Inspired by Land of Nod, this looks like the real thing! To make this wood play kitchen stove, we used up 1 - 1x12 board (about $15 here) and the rest was scrap wood random stuff left over from various other projects. Save the little stuff - it's what can transform a $15 board into a solid wood play kitchen!
Play Kitchen with Back Wall
How cute is this play kitchen?!
A new, easy to build play kitchen! The kitchen is just 1x12 boards (the door too) and the back is an off the shelf 24" x 48" plywood panel, so no difficult cuts needed. Have fun designing the back to create a one of a kind play kitchen for your child.

Retro Play Kitchen Dish Hutch
DIY retro play kitchen dish hutch for kids! I love the retro styling, and how it's not too girly.
