In all seriousness, play kitchens are my number one favorite toy to recommend. My kids literally play with it almost every single day and have since we got ours almost six years ago. This model has tons of storage, which is great for keeping the play food out of sight, and that makes cleanup easier for everyone. It even includes 30 pieces of play food, a cordless phone for taking down to-go orders, and plenty of knobs and buttons. Want even more fun? Add a server wallet and some order notepads!
Promising review: “We bought this for our 2-year-old for his birthday. I was looking for something that would hold up and something that was gender-neutral, and I am SO GLAD I picked this one out!! Our son loves it, and the stainless steel-looking decor looks so sleek and much better than some of the plastic ones I have seen. Definitely comes with enough food to start out with. The only thing I will say is make sure you are committed to putting it together when you start, or you are able to leave it be where parts won’t get lost if you can’t put it together in one sitting. It took my husband four hours! It’s not difficult, just very time-consuming and tedious. Great project after the kids go to bed! Lol.” —Autumn
