Forget Easy Bake Ovens; Get a Whole Wooden Kitchen Play Set!
I love to cook and my children really love to get involved when I’m working in the kitchen. Both my son (he’s three) and my daughter (she’s six) love to see what I’m baking up. Sometimes I make them pies or sometimes I make pot roast but all the time they are watching me in wonderment and amusement.
Now, when I realized how much they enjoyed watching me cook I couldn’t just ignore it and let it be. I wanted them to have the same love of cooking that I do and I wanted them to be able to safely pretend that they were cooking along with me! A real kitchen is a dangerous place for a young child but a wooden kitchen is a really great kitchen playset that they can use to pretend and no harm can come to them.
Wooden play kitchens are classic kid’s toys. They are kid sized and mother approved counters, stoves, microwaves, sinks, you name it! You can build a whole miniature kitchen set in your child’s room for them to play with and it will keep them entertained for days. When I was a child I remember having a wooden kitchen playset in my kindergarten class and even though it was mostly occupied by the girls of the class the boys would get in there and mess around with the plastic food products as well.
A child’s imagination has no bounds, I think as adults we forget that sometimes, but put a chefs hat on a child and point them in the direction of some toy kitchens and they will play all day. In fact, there is a children’s theme park devoted to just that called WannaDo City. Children dress up like chefs, firemen, police officers, and a whole mess of other professions and will spend all day in a city made of wooden toys.
If you’re looking to develop your child’s interest in the culinary arts but you aren’t ready for them to start playing with real kitchen tools a wooden kitchen is the perfect gift. Easy bake ovens can even be added to the kitchen set to give it a functional quality like no other. You’d be amazed at how much fun your kids will have. As a parent you want to provide the most enriching and safe atmosphere for your children to play in and the pretend wood kitchens are perfect for that.
