I’ve always wanted to do a research study regarding exposure to certain domestic toys as a child and how it reflects your future as a homemaker! Honestly because I think I missed something when I was young. I didn’t play with dolls much, I didn’t have an Easy Bake oven, nor did I have a play kitchen. Maybe as a result, I’m not that great at cooking, washing the dishes, or going to the grocery store less than 4 times a week! Sigh.
Joking aside (I think), Step2 has an amazing assortment of toys for children including the Create & Play Kitchen. With it’s sturdy, durable, and long-lasting plastic material, we had all the gadgets out and assembled in 20 minutes or less thanks to dad and his need for only one screwdriver.My six year old couldn’t wait and has been playing with the kitchen for weeks! She loves the burner that bubbles and makes sizzling noises when a pan is on it, it just makes things so real. She’s using terms like, “I’m going to zap that in the microwave” and “just toss it in the sink” just like mom says, it’s quite hilarious! The stickers just really amp up the toy, and you see pizza in our real oven all the time, what a coincidence.
Now, your pet is represented with it’s own little nook for food and water at the bottom of the toy, it’s perfect for my little girl’s stuffed pets. Bonus, there are containers on the shelves to store the food and it’s not all over the house! Also, the oven and refrigerator have become secret hiding places for such things as the television remote and big brother’s iPod. It’s the first place we look now for lost items!
The kitchen also comes with a cordless phone, coffee pot (mom loves this), and whiteboard area to put menus or grocery lists! It’s really adorable and doesn’t take up that much room, also it’s fairly light and I can move it from room to room and even in the backyard on a nice day!
