Use a box with a cover entirely overlapping it, like a candy or writing paper box.
1. Cut the cover the right height for the back.
2. Study carefully the proportions of the cabinet shown in the picture; then cut pieces from the sides and top as in the piano.
3. Slide the box up to the point where the sides are cut out. Mark, cut off the bottom and fasten the parts together.
4. Use the other end of the box for the shelves, as in the bookcase. Fasten them in.
5. Cut pieces of cardboard for the “drawer” and “doors”; then fasten them on with “knobs” and “hinges.” Shape the legs.
6. Paint some color suitable for a kitchen. Possibly someone might show you how to “grain” it.
“SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE.”
Lace paper from candy boxes
Can be used upon the shelves;
Paint and print on spools some labels,
And arrange them all yourselves.
Then when you play you’re little cooks,
How nice ’twill be to see
Your shelves with sugar, salt and spice,
In rows so orderly.
Kitchen Cabinet.
GETTING SUPPER.
Surely, I couldn’t be lonesome
With dolly right here in her chair;
With my stove, my table and dishes,
Her supper I now shall prepare.
