Tot friendly kitchen cupboard revisited

In February I cleared out a kitchen cupboard and made it into a tot friendly cupboard for Luath.  The idea is that she can take and play with any of the contents while we are in the kitchen together. The cupboard has been working well although it has become a little bit of a disorganised shambles.  Some things Luath chooses to play with a lot, others she overlooks.  Some days Luath enjoys pulling everything out of the cupboard.  I decided it was time for a thinning out of the contents, although there still is quite a few items in there.  I should have taken a before photo, especially when everything has been taken out and is all over the kitchen floor.

 How it looks now.

 Contents:
Some cookie cutters.  Two plastic jars with screwable lids.  A microwave pot with lid (that has a slight crack in base so can't use any more).  Two different tins with lids.











A tray of different lids, extra ones that fit the above two jars and one of the tins.  An extra bowl for transferring items into.  A bowl with various small sized cooking utensils - spoon, spatula, whisk and sieve.
 








Towards the back of the cupboard, items for me to take out as Luath not so interested in independent play with these.  Various ice cube trays - have used these for coloured ice cubes, playdough, sorting.  Small shaped jelly moulds - playdough, water play.  A cat shaped jelly mould - water play.  Ice lolly mould holder - coloured ice, sorting

At the back of the cupboard base.  A salad spinner and a bowl with coasters and some paper cases.


No doubt it'll get a untidy again, espeically as daddy tends to put Luath safe things in here when he isn't sure where they belong!
