How to Make a Tabletop S'mores Roasting Station

Looking for a fun way to entertain kids for the summer? Have a picnic coming up and need a table center piece idea? Today, on the blog, sharing how to make a table top s’mores roasting station. Super easy to make and is sure to be a crowd pleaser!

How to Make a Tabletop S’mores Roasting Station

What you will need:

-Galvanized tin/tray

-Rocks (I bought a bag at Lowes in the garden section)

-Packing peanuts (I bought a bag at Office Depot) use these for larger tins so that they won’t be too heavy to move around. Omit these if smaller or you prefer to use all rocks instead,

-Sternos (I used 3 for this project. IMPORTANT!! Make sure you use the ones that are suitable for cooking food)

-2 Faux little trees

Let’s get started!!

FIRST STEP

Fill your tin/tray/planter with packing peanuts. I only suggest packing peanuts for bigger tins and if you have issues lifting heavy things. I prefer rocks to fill the entire tin when possible.

SECOND STEP

Arrange your faux plants into the tin. Be sure to move around packing peanuts to give plants a secure fit. Press packing peanuts down firmly, remove, and add more if needed.

**I used packing peanuts for this particular project since I didn’t want tray to be too heavy to carry when I need to move it around* For smaller roasting stations I would use sand or all rocks instead**

THIRD STEP

Position Sternos into your tin. Make sure sternos are not super close to faux trees.

FOURTH STEP

Be sure you firmly press packing peanuts down (add more or remove) before adding rocks. Place rocks into arrangement. Keep some extra rocks in storage so you can replenish and rearrange your arrangement for future uses.

Hope you found this DIY tutorial helpful and it inspired you to do something fun with your kids this summer or use the idea for a picnic or bbq party. Making a s’mores roasting station is also perfect for apartments and outdoor entertaining.
