I love all the detail you have used for the coffee shop, i.e. creamer carton, soap bubbles. With the grandkids (ages 4-9), I also have used coffee grounds (normal trash or plant food) that have been spread out on a tray and dried, put into a canister with coffee scoop, and use coffee pots with stem, covered basket and glass knob on top. Since I use one pound of coffee at a time to make my cold brew coffee syrup, I have a pound of coffee for them at a time. This gives the smell of coffee too — SO FUN!!

I have already started collecting our cups of coffee to be able to set this activity up with my kids…such a wonderful idea – thanks for the inspiration! I’ve also linked up to you in my blog as we did a gardening center as well…not as elaborate as yours with the fake flowers, but my kids still loved it! 🙂

In reply to Sarah @ Frugal Fun for Boys. I think I'm going to look for another one, so I don't have to keep taking mine back inside when we want to craft on rainy days. I'm thinking a nice big square one would be great for outside.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get an inexpensive play table for the backyard, and I think a thrift store coffee table would be just the thing! Thanks for the suggestion! I also LOVE the coffee shop. So fun!

In reply to Faigie. No, there was no desire to sample, Faigle. The children were all very aware that it was sand and soap that they were playing with. Although it LOOKS yummy in the photo, when you scoop a fresh spoonful of sand into some dirty water, well, let's just say there's no big desire to take a sip. lol

I can’t imagine that none of the kids tried to taste the coffee

This is fantastic! The kiddo is always wanting to play Starbucks, so I’ve been saving cups and such from there, but I never thought of using soap for foam. Fun!
