Over the years, I’ve found the most played with toy at our house has always been the Play Kitchen for boys and girls alike. We’ve had a wide variety of play food over the years, but my favorite has to be the In The Hoop felt food. This food can be made from felt or fleece and I’ve found even holds up to being thrown in the washer occasionally in a mesh bag and laid flat to dry.
The Shoebox Stove and Sink play mats were designed for Kitchen Play fun in a limited space. These quick to stitch mats are made from inexpensive felt or fleece. They are attached to the top of a plastic bin with hot glue or your favorite adhesive. The bins can be nestled inside of each other when not in use and the play food can be stored inside as well.
Shoebox Stove and Sink play mats are great for car trips, Grandma’s house, church nurseries or anywhere space is limited.
