My daughters are really getting into dramatic play lately, specifically Grocery Store. Using stuff from around the house, I've been putting together things for them to play with.
For this project, I started with these supplies: a treat box (found in the Christmas section at Hobby Lobby; it's a package of 10, but I needed the others for Christmas goodies), a printed picture of cupcakes, packing tape, clear contact paper and scissors. I also used a ruler and Scotch tape (not pictured.)
It was so easy! I just measured the window in the treat box and cut the picture 1/2 inch larger than the opening. I used the Scotch tape to tape the image inside, then put the box together. I used the clear contact paper to cover the box. Where the contact paper overlapped, I secured the edges with packing tape, just to make sure Sweet Girl (almost 2-years old!) can't tear it apart. :)
I've used clear contact paper to cover other boxes from the kitchen as well...pasta, pastries, bread mixes, etc. Won't be long and they'll have a fully stocked grocery store! Sweet Hubby and I are working on a big project to really make the grocery store special. You'll have to come back later this week to see it...you will NOT want to miss this! :)
