If you're having a lot of barbecues this summer, maybe it's time to get some help. Put together this amazing play grill for your kids, and they'll be flipping burgers in no time.
We've seen several of Kate's brilliant food-related play spaces, like her gourmet kitchen and her Parisian food market. Just as adorable is this very detailed grill. With a thrifted table and some household items, Kate created an amazingly true-to-life replica of a gas barbecue. Perhaps most impressive, though, is her salt dough and polymer clay food. The pieces on the kebabs slide on and off, so they can be prepped, grilled, and served in different ways.
See how she made it at Kate's Creative Space.

This is great! I just wish my granddaughter was young enough to play with something like this. With the next grandkid due in January I could probably get it done by the time they're old enough.
Awesome. My little guy would go nuts for this!
Love it! My little boy loves his play kitchen already. I'll have to keep this in mind for the future for sure.
If only we had this when we were kids!
When my 4-year-old asked for a BBQ for Hannukah last year, I got a black enameled colander with legs and found a perforated pie dish that fits on top. It looks like our little Weber Smokey Joe, and she has spent many, many hours grilling her Ikea vegetables. I just now remembered that I never made my planned felt briquets to put inside. That would've been cute but she doesn't care. Best gift of the year! Plus she uses the colander and pie dish for all kinds of other creative play. Keep it simple and your kid will love it anyway.
Super cute!
Am I the only one who thinks by making such elaborate toys for our children we ruin one of the most important parts of play? I'm with Duckster - keep it simple and let their imaginations take over.
Meh, kids can have elaborate toys and still have great imaginations. Love this idea, I made a very basic play grill earlier this summer, but Kate just things to a whole other (amazing) level.
