My 2.5-year-old loves playing outside and all kids love pretend kitchens!

Steps
Step 1
Cut wood post to size, depending on height of children.
Cut wood decking and outer front rail to size, depending on how much overhang you want.
Cut bottom rails to size. Attach small piece of wood to two posts and screw bottom rails to that small piece of wood. Do the same for the other side.
Step 2
Attach the decking rails.
I used leftover pieces of wood for the top blue pieces on either side that I attached the pine dar rails to. Use two brackets to help strengthen the rails.
Step 3
Sand everything.
Step 4
Paint using outdoor paint and then varnish the top. Attach your choice of knobs and hooks.
Step 5
For the door, I used 4 small pieces of leftover wood that I attached with screws and wood glued, then I used an old plastic lid and fitted it to the door.
Step 6
I found a second hand metal bowl, which I drilled a hole in for drainage. I will add a tap and water source of some sort eventually.
