Would your 3 yo BOY play with this toy??

My 3 yo nephew has every car, truck, and train in the toystore. So I picked this set out for him today. 

I bring it home and both my husband and mother say its too feminine. And the more I think about it, the more I think my nephews parents will see it the same way. In my eyes, there are no such thing as BOY toys and GIRL toys and I plan to buy unisexual toys (for lack of a better word) for my child and hope that he gets more than balls and cars and things like that. 

Grr. I guess I'm just pissed because I braved a very crowded TRU on a Saturday morning and now I have to go back and get him something else.

He would.  But my son also has a M&D kitchen and a baby doll.

He plays with his trucks/trains/cars the most, but he really likes playing with his kitchen stuff too.

He probably wouldn't play with it as intended because he's not very into coloring. But, he loves the Melissa & Doug birthday cake set, so I imagine he'd like that cupcake kit, too. I don't think it's too girly. It's fun and creative and lets him use his imagination. There are plenty of male bakers, right? That's my justification!

My boys would love that!  They do love their trains and cars, but they also play in their kitchen quite a bit.  They usually pretend to make either waffles or pizza, but they would love to make cupcakes.  I don't think it's girly at all.

My son absolutely would!  I just bought this set for my DD's birthday, but it is 2 weeks away so  we haven't used it yet.  Is it because it is kitchen stuff, or because the decorating factor that makes it seem girly?  My son has played with the M&D pizza and cookie sets at daycare and  loves them....so maybe one of those (esp the pizza) may be more  boyish in their minds?  My son loves to help me make/decorate cookies/cupcakes and to prepare dinner, as well as loves his kitchen play food.  

Any M&D gift, IMO, is a great gift!

My son is 4 and he would LOVE that toy.  He enjoys helping in the kitchen.

yeah he would but my Dh wouldn't be too happy about it and would probably be a bit irritated if my sister gave our son something like that.  Ethan helps me in the kitchen all the time though but I guess it is somehow different??

My son would love it. People care way too much about toys that are gender-specific. (I don't mean you for posting this.)

My nearly 2.5 y/o would.

My DS would totally love that.

My boys would, actually my 4 year old keeps seeing some commercial for some cupcake making thing and wants it.  My dad (a typical guys guy) wouldn't like my son to have it, ha.  But yes my kids would play with it.

he'd love it...he loves helping me bake!

No.  We have the M&D pizza and bday cake and he doesn't play with them at all! 

Now if it were an Easy Bake Oven or something to make real food....he'd be all over that.  lol
