Role-play games for children – making your own toy shop accessories

Children love role-play! You’ll no doubt notice in everyday life how the little ones want to help out around the house. Whether it’s hanging out the washing, cooking or hoovering – they simply have so much fun imitating what we do. That’s why, as parents, we keep turning to children’s kitchens and toy shops, because we simply can’t satisfy them with small tasks alone. In this way, children develop role-play scenarios in their own little adult world and imitate their surroundings. So that you don’t always have to resort to ready-made toys, we’ve created templates for toy shop accessories and collected the best craft ideas for you.

Free downloadable templates for play shop accessories

Inspired by a shopping trip with Mum or Dad to your favourite supermarket, we’ve designed checkout dividers, an ‘Open/Closed’ sign and a loyalty card for little shoppers. This helps children process their experiences through play and take on a variety of roles. As parents, it’s important to create the right environment for role-play by providing the appropriate accessories – leave the rest to the little ones. You can easily download the free craft templates here.

Make your own toy shop accessories: from felt

Felt can be sewn, laminate, printed on and decorated. That’s exactly why we love it so much: making your own toy shop accessories. Be inspired by our selection of pizza, sushi, strawberries and more for play shop and play kitchen.

Ideas for felt play shop accessories

You can conjure up that

Italian way of life in your child’s bedroom with a delicious homemade pizza. To make it, cut triangles out of felt, stuff the ‘pizza base’ with wadding and sew it up. Finally, cover it with red felt for the tomato sauce – and then it’s time to let your creativity run wild! Draw on your favourite toppings, cut them out and top the pizza. An old but still clean pizza box completes the ‘dolce vita’ feel perfectly.
For barbecue and summer lovers, sausages are the perfect choice. Download the template, place it on two-coloured felt and cut it out. Then make three cuts in the dark felt to create a charred effect and stick the light-coloured felt behind it. Now sew it together and, just like the pizza, fill it with wadding. Your bratwurst for the ‘ play barbecue’ is ready.
Fancy something a bit more extravagant? No problem with our felt sushi. Simply cut different coloured felt into small rectangles and roll them up. To make the rolls hold their shape better, it’s best to stick them together. Then just fill a green felt rectangle with the little rolls and your sushi is ready!

Make your own toy shop accessories – upcycling ideas

It doesn’t always have to be brand new. You can make wonderful toy shop accessories yourself, especially from things you already have at home. Our favourite idea: potatoes made from tights. The instructions are super simple and it’s done in no time.

First, cut the tights into pieces about 10 cm long. Now fill the tights with cotton wool. Use about as much as you’d need to make a potato.
Fluff up the cotton wool a little to give it the shape of a potato.
Now all you need to do is sew the ends shut with a needle and thread.
To make them look even nicer, you can pack the potatoes you’ve made into an old potato sack or a pretty shopping bag. You’ll find the perfect label for this in our embroidery set.
