Ikea on Saturday- What do I want/need?

**Minstrel** · 26-07-2011, 05:14 PM

List already consists of

The Wooden Kitchen
Wicker boxes for Treasure Baskets
Water Bottles

It's such a long way and takes up a whole day that I would like to make sure I make the most of it.

Any recommendations?

Cheers xx

These were the bargains I found at the weekend

I also bought a circus tent - new line I think and flying off the shelves - mindees have loved it this week.

I will have to go back soon as I forgot to pick up the felt fruit and veg sets on the way round!

Have fun

They do a lovely felt farm house/ yard, that folds completely flat, mine love it. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40174654

This is going to be an expensive trip!

I love all the accessories that go with the kitchen too.

Ruby- I got the dustpan and brush last time!

**Minstrel** · 26-07-2011, 06:13 PM

The Farm looks lovely Katie - I love the way it becomes its own little storage box too!

small storage boxes come in packs of three great for keeping all those odd bits from craft sessions or threading beads. A draw insert with sections great for keeping crayons and pencils in. Silver metal pots with holes in, think supposed to be used for bathroom and kitchen. Great for keeping felts, paintbrushes, gel pens & scissors in.

Plates, bowls, cups and cutlery for kids use. Finger puppets, dolls bed, table & chairs for the children, cushions, cheap blankets, paint easle.

Basically I walk round Ikea and see loads of stuff which I can think of some use for

Oh my Word!!!

I bought the wooden kitchen and put it up last night- so so impressed!

Truly love- and the children (including my 7 yr old DS) have played with it all day. I bought accessories for it too, the pots and pans, china plates and cups, baking set and utensils.

Love it love it and highly recommend!
