To make the stove, we used a large cardboard box. The wheelchair
tray was a great source of strength for the top of the stove. Make
sure you allow enough room for the stove to fit over the outside of
the chair. On the front of the oven door, cut out a piece of shiny
chrome like paper to represent the window. You can glue the handle
onto the front of the door as well. We used velcro on the inside of
the door so that you could open the oven door if you want. On the
stove top, cut out circles of black paper for burners and glue them
to the top. Use the bottle tops for the burner control knobs. Add
utensils and a pan to finish out the stove top. Since Sydney is a
macaroni & cheese fan, we took a box of macaroni & cheese and emptied
the macaroni into the pan and then glued the box onto the surface
of the stove so it looked like she was cooking her favorite meal.
