Ready, set, go!
- First, the LID needs to be clean and free of dust or dirt.
Next, position the decals like in the youtube video (click above).
- Voila! Your mini stove is ready for "cooking." It's so easy!
Can you sew up a kid-size apron to add to the fun? Child-size potholders or oven mitts will help your small cook make believe – sew them, knit them, crochet them, or remember potholder looms? If your kid is old enough, help them weave their own potholder!
In nice weather, this mini stove can be taken outside, to the park or the beach. Get ready to add the "ingredients" of sand, water, pebbles, and sticks. Before you put the mini stove away the "stove" stickers will need to be clean and dry for the next cooking session.
Indoors or out, this mini stove will keep your little one busy "cooking" for hours. It makes a great holiday or birthday gift too. You can "cook" with your child or just "eat" whatever they whip up on their mini stove. Don't forget to take pictures.
