In my classroom last year, the kitchen area got zero play. When I noticed tumbleweeds blowing across that area of the room, I decided to remove the massive kitchen furniture and create a new space. As the new school year approaches and I’m thinking about my space, I knew I did not want to bring in more big furniture.  I wanted to offer something that represented a stove top/oven, though, just in case the children are interested. So, I turned a bread box into a mini oven.  It’s a great space saving item to have.

Simple.

Cheap.

Portable.

Fun!

Here is what you need:

~ Bread Box  (THIS ONE opens more like a traditional oven, but it’s more expensive.)

~ Burner Stickers

~ Mod Podge

Place the stickers on the top.  Seal with mod podge.  Done!

I love that the children will be able to take this to various places in the classroom to “cook”.  Here’s to hoping it’s a hit.
