Flower Shop Dramatic Play

May 31, 2020

My kids love to play pretend so we always have a dramatic play center available in our play area with different themes. We hacked our IKEA duktig toy kitchen to turn it into a little shop and it is perfect for an ice cream shop, lemonade stand, pizza shop, farmer's market, bodega, coffee shop and my personal favorite flower shop! You can find our tutorial here: IKEA kitchen hack

If you don't have a toy kitchen, a little table or a cardboard box is all you really need to make a pretend shop!
