I got the urge to make some new spaces for the Barbie area at the day care. I split a box in two and gave them both contact paper flooring and a splash of interior trim paint with a semi-gloss finish. The paint warped the cardboard just a touch. Gluing things to the walls fixes that problem sometimes if you plan on doing that. I let one of my kids here help me decide what the retail spaces would be. We decided that one should be a pizza place and the other a pet shop. The ideas were flowing in faster for the pizzeria so I started with that one. I used food boxes, card stock and recycled containers for the counters and table and stools. I printed some pizza boxes from myfroggystuff.BlogSpot.com and made little pizzas from clay and painted them. I also made a pizza oven and a cash register with the help of myfroggystuff on youtube. I like the way it turned out!
And this one will be the pet shop! I've already got the check out counter made.
My day care friend and I ordered some pets from amazon this morning.
I think they will be adorable!
They are the Littlest Pet Shop pets. I was hoping for a fish too. I guess the aquarium I have in mind could be for the turtle.
We got them from
THIS listing.
