What's Cooking With Play Kitchens
Open-Ended Play For Generations To Come
Are play kitchens the early training ground for future gourmet chefs?
We'd like to think the answer is yes! Our popular wooden play kitchens have lots of realistic features that serve to nurture the joy of cooking and serving. Imagination flourishes as children pretend to cook and bake, play restaurant, have a tea party and even wash the dishes!
In fact, if you're going to purchase just one large wooden playroom item, we recommend a play kitchen for great long-term value and a long play life. Perfectly suited for pre-schoolers ages 2 and up, play kitchens encourage real-life role playing and fun interaction, both child-to-child and child-to-adult. Best of all, the ones we carry at Heirloom Wooden Toys are surely destined to fulfill the heirloom designation and be passed on to children's children.
Country-Style Natural Wooden Play Kitchens
If you have traditional home décor, you may prefer the long-time favorite Elves and Angels wooden play kitchen masterfully handcrafted in northern Maine to withstand years of play-no nail guns or staples used here! There is absolutely no MDF or plywood in these heirloom-quality pretend play kitchens, only Northern White Pine with the edges smoothly rounded for safety. Even the hinges are heavy-duty. The pine has a naturally glowing golden finish which the Elves themselves have revealed is genuine ELF OIL, a non-toxic linseed oil (also used to treat food preparation surfaces and food bowls) that ensures these impressive kid's play kitchen sets are child safe. It's so nice to find such quality in contrast to the many toys out there in the plastic/disposable category. We've been selling Elves and Angels wooden play kitchens online for over 4 years and can truly say this is one of the products we love the most!
Colorful and Durable Painted Wooden Play Kitchens
At the modern end of the spectrum, the Island Kitchen Set by KidKraft, Inc. is a bright and futuristic play kitchen in sync with the space age. Definitely a kid's dream of a wooden play kitchen, it features a two-sided design for extra playmate capacity and fun. One side is designed with oven, stove and microwave, plus counter space and storage shelves for easy clean-up. The other side sports a sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator with working knobs, doors that open and more. We recommend placing this play kitchen at the center of the playroom for maximum access and use.
Have less space in your child's play area? Look at the KidKraft All In One Kitchen rich in creative detail. See-through doors on the microwave, swivel faucet at the sink, frescoed water and ice dispenser on the pink refrigerator and freezer, a clock and a caller-id phone set the scene for hours of fantasy play. It's a compact little wooden play kitchen just 42 inches across which fits neatly against a wall; its pastel design is especially appealing to little girls
Pretend Play Kitchen Accessories
Your children's cooking-and-dining play possibilities can be happily expanded with sets of kitchen accessories that kids find fascinating. Pick a 24-pc. set of plastic cookware and utensils in pastel or brights or adorable wooden "small electronics" like blenders, mixers and coffee makers great for building fine motor coordination for tiny hands.
Help the kids step into the chef’s role like Mom or Dad with our exclusive Heirloom handprint twill Child Apron that comes with a 5-pc. wooden baking tool set. And be sure to add some play food to complete the kid’s culinary scenario! Preschoolers love these little wooden replicas of favorite household products that are hand-painted on safe, durable hard wood--the perfect finishing touch to the let’s-pretend play kitchen construction in progress at your house!
