Kitchen play sets are a classic childhood toy that provide hours of fun. Kids love the opportunity to mimic the adults they look up to, and a play kitchen of their own lets them feel grown up and creative. Instead of banging on real pots and pans or raiding your drawers, they have the opportunity to learn in an environment that’s safe and kid-sized. Not only does a kitchen play set let them explore the culinary world but pretend play also encourages children to problem solve, use their imagination and learn about the world around then. The fun accessories like fruits and vegetables can help educate them about nutrition and health, and all of the fun knobs, cabinets, pots and spoons help them work on their fine motor skills.
