Play kitchens

pixelvixen · December 2008

I'm killing myself slowly by trying to make a little decision on which play kitchen I should buy for Payton.

-Wooden with no lights or sounds?

-Plastic with lights and sounds?

What did/would you do?

I don't know about with or without lights and sound but I have seen a super cute all Red play kitchen at Costco.

Here is the link.

We plan to go the wooden route when it's time to purchase Kaylin's first kitchen

I try and limit the number of toys that require batteries. Maybe I'm a little bit of an extremist but I find toys with lights and sound get old really quick. I prefer when she can interact with a toy in her own way. It seems like her toys that don't light up or make noise entertain her for longer because she will do different things with them.

I know! That's the one I want to get if I go wooden. I'm just wondering if it'll keep P's attention...? She plays with other kitchens without sound/lights at daycare but she's also playing with other little kids, so it may not matter as much with them interacting with her. UGH! Why is this so difficult!?

I just saw that red kitchen at Stupid prices when we were there the other day! I think it was only 70-something dollars. It was very cute too!

I am not much help.. I just returned that kitchen to costco. Both of Mason's good friends are getting it for Christmas, so I decided to take ours back. I like that it didn't need any batteries, but wasn't boring. I think P would love it, and it looks like from the pp that the price as gone down.

I plan to buy a wooden one. Especially because she is exposed to so many lights and plastic toys at daycare, I try to keep it pretty simple around home. Melissa and Doug has all kinds of wooden "cutting" food that velcro together and can be cut in pieces. Might be a great accessory. I bought some for my niece last year and she and my nephew were both fascinated.

I don't know if it has lights and sounds, and it definetely isn't as cute as that red one, but Toys R Us is having a Door Busters sale today from 3pm to midnight and saturday from 6am-1pm and they have a Little Tikes Kitchen that comes with 38 food accessories for 49.99. That is one of the best deals I have seen.

This one is great. We have it. It's a hit. And a GREAT deal. I spent literally MONTHS trying to find a good kitchen for a good price.

This one is small too, so you don't need a giant room for one.

I say no to sounds. They can use their imagination. There's a really cute wooden one at TRU now too.. it might be LIttle Tykes? It's about $180 though. But that was my second choice but I jsut thought it was too much.

Evie is the same way. ?I'm not opposed to toys that require batteries, but simple toys are her favorite.

When the time comes I am going to go with wood. My experience with the plastic toys is that the plastic fades/stains (think markers) and the decals never go on without bubbles, then eventually tear.

I'm going with wooden. There is some seriously awesome play food out there that is made of fabric and my girls love that stuff at the children's museum. We're getting them a kitchen for their birthday, I may need to check out the Costco one!

Oh, and my approach to toys is to just never replace the batteries lol.
