Modified Mini Play Kitchen for Children
This mini play kitchen was originally made for Arata, with the idea of adding sound and light to the stove using Arduino — but since that project stalled, it was eventually replaced by a plastic toy kitchen. So I decided to repurpose and redesign it for Mirei instead, narrowing the width and making several upgrades.
The modifications include:
- Reducing the width to 51 cm
- Increasing the rotation speed of the hand spinner
- Replacing the hot-glue attachment of the Magic: The Gathering life counter with screw-mounting after drilling holes
- Adding a 1986 Mt. Fuji climbing stick across the top
- Installing an elephant hook from Bali on the inner left side
- Swapping the sink bowl for a small metal container gifted from Village Rokko
- Fixing a 100-yen shop bell with screws to signal “finished cooking”
- Adding pebble-stone tiles — along with a number of other small adjustments
