Since both my kids are in school now , I’ve got a lot — A LOT — of free time to deal with my seperation anxiety from them … The first couple of days, I painted the bathroom ceiling and move furnitures around … Today , I track down toys … You see, my housekeeper’s way of picking up toys was to put them in plastic bags , tie a dead knot, and throw it in the storage room upstairs … She has taken my hiding of unpicked up toys to a whole new level …
This toy kitchen is just a cheap TV stand covered with felt and contact paper … I sew some pockets to the sides, fill them up with plastic forks and spoons, a mini notepad+ pen ( to take short orders ), child-size kitchen mitten … The lower shelves are filled with plastic food , clay, red beans (kidney beans , bigger means easier to clean up) , pestal and mortar ( a necessity when you live in Thailand ), and other kitchen utensils …
I t was quite a success and a thrifty remake of old furniture and scattered around toys … The kids played for over an hour , cooking up red beans everything …
