the drive thru! DAY HOME

So first off, of course I got the idea of making a PVC pipe 'house' from pinterest, really with a site like that who has their own ideas anymore! So, my daughter and her day home friend are often playing 'house' and started placing orders, usually for double doubles. (this might have something to do with Nic and I's addiction to roll up the rim...) ANYWAY! I thought it would be fun to set up a 'drive thru'.  I got this idea when it was BEAUTIFUL out and thought we would do it on the patio and they could drive up on bikes, however, the weather of course turned. so inside it was!
So the above picture is the door, i had a shopping cart and a collection of purses close by to extend play.

 So here is the inside, it was a little bigger then i had intended on making it, so the whole kitchen fit in the house.

 The drive-thru counter, stocked with a phone (the children added this!) ice cream serving stuff, disposible coffee cups, a cash register and a basket full of credit cards. (Like my previous mail box post, these are mostly collected from junk mail! you know when a credit card company wants sends you junk mail and there is a little fake plastic credit card in the envelope? well, i keep the card for play!)

And here is the drive thru window, there was ties so they could tie the window open, or leave it closed.

SO! i was thrilled that before as soon as I put the house structure out, before i placed all the 'drive thru' items inside, the children instantly went in and started playing like it was a store, placing orders, passing things back and forth through the window.
ANYWAY! it's a hit! and the best part, this PVC house can easily be taken a part and stored.
