After much research, we recently gave this
kitchen to our 2-year-old son, and we all LOVE it. It has already generated hours and hours of fun.
This product comes with the following extras: two bowls, two plates, two spoons, two knives, two special pans with lids (one sizzles, one boils- even making the sound of water hitting the burner!), two cups, one phone (which also generates sound), and salt & pepper shakers. (You will need to buy food.)
We chose this product for a number of reasons:
- It provides just the right amount of sounds. We wanted to have some sound effects, but not so many that it inhibited creativity. This has the perfect combo.
- The doors to the appliances open
like real appliances-- unlike other
toy kitchen sets we looked at.
- It is sturdy and a good height. He won't outgrow it for a while.
- There is plenty of storage space (three drawers and a cabinet- plus the refrigerator and stove), good counter space, and the cutest little dish shelf. Other kitchen sets offered extras such as dishwashers, but nothing in this range offered the same amount of counter and storage space. It really helps make it feel
like a real kitchen.
The only cons:
- I wish it had a full-sized refrigerator, but most
kitchen sets don't. And I knew that when I bought it, so I can't really complain!
- The "magic" burner which generates the sounds doesn't sit quite level. But it doesn't inhibit play, and our son hasn't noticed at all.
It did take my husband about an hour to put it together (with stickers), but he actually said he enjoyed putting this
toy together.
All in all, we are thrilled with this
kitchen set and know we made the right decision. It was well worth the money to hear my son yell while he is cooking, "I did it!" You can't go wrong with this kitchen!
