  1. My husband and I bought a wooden Chef’s Pretend Play Toy Kitchen With “Ice” Cube Dispenser for our son’s birthday. The quality of the goods is really up to par. We chose this option because the kitchen looks very realistic, almost like a real one. It has a slight smell at the very beginning, but it quickly weathered. Julia, many thanks for the article!

  2. I read this article, chose for a long time, and eventually bought Uptown Espresso Kitchen by KidKraft. I liked the design of the kitchen, everything is very realistic, there is everything you need: a refrigerator, microwave, stove, dishwasher. The kitchen is spacious enough and has enough free space for playing together or even three together. There were some difficulties with the collection, but we got rid of this problem. The daughter was delighted.

  3. Hello, my son is 4 years old. My husband and I choose a Christmas present for him. What set do you think is most suitable for a given age? I would like the kitchen to be as realistic as possible, so that there are a lot of accessories, as well as enough space to store them. It would also be great if there was an oven, microwave, refrigerator and stove. Thanks in advance for your reply.

  4. Hello everyone, I have two children: a daughter and a son. Both are 5 years old. For a long time I was looking for them a suitable kitchen set for the game. Thanks to your article, I bought Ultimate Corner Play Kitchen with Lights & Sounds, as it seemed to me the most spacious for playing two children at once. It was important for me that they fit easily and there is enough space for everyone to play and store accessories. It is a pity that accessories are not included in the kit, but we bought them separately. The quality also pleased. If you need a large set for two, feel free to take it. It is definitely worth the money!

  5. Thank you very much Julia for your blog and for such an informative article. I bought my daughter Elegant Edge Play Kitchen Playset by Step2. I would like a little more interactivity, that is, pressing buttons for example, but this nuance compensates for the number of items in the set and a really interesting bright design that any child will like. Because of this diversity, the child is not bored with playing with this kit. I also really liked the quality of the material. My daughter was very pleased and just loves to play in her kitchen.
