We’re always looking for great new hobbies to introduce to our kinds from a young age. It’s a great way to keep them busy while doing your part of stimulating their minds. And what better way to spend time with your kids than cooking with them!

It’s the perfect blend of art and science that even ends with a meal. The only problem is that our kitchen can be a dangerous place for younger children. There are all sorts of knives and hot surfaces, plus it’s just so easy to make a mess. But this one mother came up with a wonderful solution! That is, to make your own “play kitchen,” even if you’re not the craftiest person! All you need is an old television cabinet and some creativity.

For the sink, cut out a circle in one of the television cabinet boards, just large enough to place the bowl in without it falling through.
