IKEA STÖDJA hack: The best ideas with the cutlery tray

Encourage creativity with the IKEA STÖDJA hack

Children are playing more and more with prefabricated toys that encourage less creativity in our children and more simple consumption. Nevertheless, every child has creative potential from birth. You've probably already noticed it : Your child wants to know what the cream tastes like or how great a sand shower in the sandpit would be? Because they are curious and want to discover the world. Help your children to experiment on their own by encouraging them to explore and creating the necessary environment and materials. Sarah @2little_lims had a great idea for this with the IKEA STÖDJA cutlery tray*! There's something for every creative mind with this IKEA hack!

Create your own play world with the IKEA STÖDJA cutlery tray

Whether a farm, a building site or a jungle - the cutlery tray makes it super easy to turn any idea into a great play world with things that you already have at home.

What you need for this:

• IKEA STÖDJA cutlery tray*
• Sand, earth, stones, grass or dried pulses
• small play figures, cars, animals or similar.

The separate compartments of the cutlery tray are perfect as small fields for the farm, as different building sites on the large building site or as a swamp and pond for the animals in the jungle. The children discover the variety of habitats and learn how to recreate and playfully realise them. To do this, the children can collect stones outside, pick grass or bring along some soil to fill the compartments of the cutlery box with real life. Dried pulses are also suitable for fun if you want the floor of the small building site to look more realistic.
