Play kitchens mix a dollop of cheerful color with two scoops of creative props and a ladle full of giggles, mix them in a bowl of friends and leave the creativity to rise. Then voila! Out pops bright, happy children, at ease with social interaction, leaders in cooperative play and good manners, and ready to share the secret recipe for dirt pies. Oh yes, and they had hours of fun doing it, staying out of your hair so you can get some things done too.
You'll have great fun browsing this amazing collection of toy kitchens, complete with kids tables and chairs. Notice how doors open, knobs turn, mixers mix. There's even a phone to interrupt you, letting you have a cheerful pretend chat until — oh no! You've burned the imaginary soufflé! That's okay, the mess is imaginary too. You'll just have to whip up something else. Hmmm, let's see what's in the toy refrigerator?
You can stock your culinary kingdom with play kitchen accessories like mixers, coffee pots, toasters and blenders. Soft wood construction is safe and durable. Plastic serving plates are colorful and washable. Add kid aprons, pans, even play food. (Tip: when your kid hands you a wooden brownie, the correct response is "Yummm!") Or take it outside: play grills come with tongs, spatulas, even play mustard and ketchup. Hot dog!
Kitchens are really just workbenches for food, so we threw in a variety of kids workbenches too. They're nothing like that little hammer-and-peg set you had as a kid. These dreamshops have a full armory of kid tools with moving parts and even sound effects, perfect for building birdbaths or spaceships. All that constructive good fun builds the foundation for a real love of making real things, a very useful gift indeed. But let's not over-think it. Just let them play.
