Doing it yourself is the cheapest route when it comes to play kitchens. You get to choose which eco-friendly materials to use, and often stuff around the house works for this project so costs can be low to free. My absolute favorite DIY play kitchen of all time is Lili’s Play Kitchen via Ohdeedoh shown above. Cost – about $30. Your child’s amazement – priceless! Seriously, how gorgeous right?!

Build An Eco-Friendly Play Kitchen – amazing DIY kitchen with easy $12 instructions!

Totally sweet re-purposed entertainment center! So creative and a great idea for keeping furniture out of the landfill.

The most beautiful blue play kitchen. This looks so pro I can’t believe it. Good instructions given too.

I love Via Toy Box and they have a sweet homemade kitchen that uses their pretty cubes. This one will cost a little more due to the cube purchases, but all cubes are made with beautiful baltic birch plywood that is sustainably grown and harvested and finished with eco-friendly paints; you could do this in any configuration and color scheme you like, and it’s quality that will last.

Hopefully this gave you some summer inspiration. Later maybe I’ll post some places to get less expensive eco-friendly play kitchen accessories to go along with your bright new kitchen!

Which kitchen is your favorite? I still like the first one the most, but that blue one is pretty darn enticing.
