DIY Kids Bakery Upcycle
We’re stuck at home- thanks Corona and never ending New England winter so I’ve been trying to come up with fun activities for the kids to shake up allllll the time spent inside. I decided to makeover this ugly, under used book shelf in our playroom.
This is what we started with. It was just sitting in the playroom completely unused, tucked in a corner.
first step painting it! You technically don’t have to paint it but I thought it could use a refresh!
I used Benjamin Moore “Mountainscape” since we had some leftover from another project
Next up was adding the sides to support the canopy. I used my brad nailer and nailed 4peices of wood to the sides. The front ones are flush with the bottom of the bookshelf and the back ones are higher off the ground.
Stapled a piece of white fabric on all 4 posts!
Then fill’er up with all kinds of baking goodies!! I sed our muffin tins, cupcake liners, mixing bowls and spoons, rolling pins, extra fabric as “dough” to roll out, cheerios for pouring and mixing and their play kitchen accessories.
I tucked our electric fireplace in their “workspace” to use an oven and added the bakery sign, tray and cups!
The kids had an absolute blast playing with their “new” bakery! It kep them entertained for a couple hours straight and now it’s in the playroom still being used!
