A kitchen that transforms using accessory parts
A pretend-play kitchen you can enjoy by changing it up with included accessories! Make the kitchen base with a stovetop and sink, and prepare the accessory parts separately.
When attached to the top of the kitchen, the accessories can be used to hang cooking utensils or add a curtain.
Embedding lights so it illuminates is a nice touch, too.
And if you attach them on the other side of the stove and sink, it instantly transforms into a counter-style kitchen where kids can line up and serve the dishes they’ve made in pretend play! It’s a charming idea that broadens the ways kids can play.

You can also customize paper plates and drink cups to create displays that look like a charming little shop.
It’s a visually delightful craft that sparks creativity.

First, take your home kitchen as a reference and picture the finished design.
