Elmer's Build It Tools Starter Set:

Instructions:

1. Gather cardboard boxes, Holepunch & Screwdriver, Kid-Safe Cardboard Cutting Tool, Screws, and Brackets.

2. Using your Cardboard Cutting Tool, take 1 cardboard box and cut out 4 medium circles, 5 small circles, a small rectangle, and a larger square shape as pictured. Then, take 1 box and open the flaps of 1 side to form your cardboard play kitchen stove BASE.
