Kids Kitchen Sets That Stir The Imagination

Kids love to pretend being grown ups. They enjoy pretending to cook, to serve meals or to have fake tea with their buddies and you can encourage them to nourish and develop a passion for that by giving them a kids’ kitchen set. It’s fun and educational at the same time and, as it turns out, it can even be the catalyst for an actual career in the domain. Those of you who had a toy oven when they were little probably have a lot of sweet memories related to that. Well, you can give your own kids the opportunity to share in the joy with a much more sophisticated version of that. We have a bunch of cool kitchen sets for kids that we’d like to show you so let’s get started.

LifeStyle Dream Kitchen Playset

Just look at this thing. The Step2 Lifestyle Dream Kitchen Playset is an actual miniature kitchen complete with a stove, a sink, cupboards, drawers, bins and lots of accessories designed to enhance the role play experience. There’s even a window and a dish rack not to mention a refrigerator door with a built-in water dispenser.

The Step2 Lifestyle Custom Kitchen Playset has more or less the same features but in a slightly different format. Like the previous model, there are special sounds that make the whole cooking experience seem real (for example the boiling water sound or the sound made by the special frying pan). The countertop mimics the look of real granite and there are also elements that mimic stainless steel (the oven, microwave and the refrigerator).

In a real kitchen, every little bit of space matters which is why compact and expandable designs are very appreciated. In the case of a pretend kitchen set, such a design would add a dose of realism plus it would also be very practical storage-wise. That being said, check out the Uptown Espresso Playset. It can be used in its compact form but it can also be expanded; fun for the kids and easy to store when not in use. The design is also great because it allows two or more kids to play at the same time, each at their own station.
