Anyone want to recommend a good "camping" style stove for children to play with? I am planning to have a igloo tent for my winter theme and wanted to include like a sleeping bag, rucksack, hat, mittens, boots, stove, saucepan with food such as sausage and eggs. I have the full size play kitchen with separate sink, cooker, washing machine etc but want to change things for just this theme.

Does it have to be a ready made one? Could the kids not help you build a campfire for cooking on:
PreschoolDaze (http://preschool-daze.com/2010/06/14/p-is-for-pioneer-heat-and-light-fire/)

Campout (http://www.funinthemaking.net/2009/02/17/pretend-to-campout-how-to-make-a-pretend-campfire-and-paper-marshmallows/)

And just in case you can't imagine cooking on a campfire in the snow: Cooking in the snow (http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.corbisimages.com/images/67/06FDD3D4-B9BE-45FC-8258-82CDDA951652/NW005124.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.corbisimages.com/Enlargement/NW005124.html&usg=__IHd0XtpDUsyxVY_vaaoTx6pajDc=&h=431&w=640&sz=119&hl=en&start=21&sig2=yuHs3mmeaHXc1gSZd1QwaQ&zoom=1&tbnid=24GFaREtNXp7vM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=200&ei=reD7TP2tGYG28QPNq8yqDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Darctic%2Bcooking%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%2 6rlz%3D1G1ACAWCENUK400%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D643%26 tbs%3Disch:10,600&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=122&vpy=380&dur=16&hovh=184&hovw=274&tx=171&ty=92&oei=mOD7TNfKGMeHhQfulKm4Bw&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:21&biw=1366&bih=643)

Thanks for your replies - I am working with little ones who are just turned 3 so something they can work with would probably be better than the "real" fire effect although love the idea! I will try to get one through Ebay if possible.
