This project has been rumbling around in my brain now as an addition to our dramatic play corner (which you can see here).
All it took was a book sized packing box which I cut the front from. And two flat pieces of thick packing cardboard – one for the dressing table top and one for the back. I curved the edges of two corners to give the dressing table a touch of softness and wrapped it all up in some bright pink self adhesive book covering. The top and back were attached with a hot glue gun.
I hemmed a piece of white fabric to make the dressing table skirt which has created a nice hidey hole for storage. Then I hung a piece of ribbon down one side of the mirror as a clip holder.
The mirror I attached with copious amounts of double sided tape (I would suggest buying a shatterproof mirror). I collected rollers, hair ties, headbands, a brush and comb and some little bottles for pretend potions. And then it was time to play…
…and play…
…and play…
…Dads included!
I am joining a gang of super creative bloggers who are all blogging about playing around with cardboard boxes in honour of Tinkerlab’s first bloggy birthday. You can check out more of the great ideas below…
