Step2 Best Chefs Kitchen
I always get enjoyment watching my kids play pretend.
As a parent there are many times that I have to separate my kids to give each other space when they aren’t getting along. However when there is a kitchen they always find a way to get along and play together.
I was sent the Step2 Best Chef’s kitchen as part of their review program.
Taking it out of the box there is some assembly required. For me the most time consuming part was putting on all the stickers.
I have to add that the stickers are more of a vinyl sticker rather then a paper sticker which I really like because when you wipe it down to clean it the stickers don’t get all soggy and come off.
The kitchen is nice and compact, not taking up much space at all. There is lots to this kitchen for the size. The doors to the fridge and oven both open up, and they both have shelves inside. The knobs on the stove top and oven make a clicking sound when you turn them.
When you set the pot or pan onto the stove, lights blink and a button is triggered for the sound of water boiling or food frying depending on whether its the pot or pan. This feature is very fun a realistic, adding to the great imaginary play.
The kids have a blast playing “restaurant” together using the pass through window. One comes up and orders while the other prepares and serves the food. The imagination they have and use while playing at this kitchen is so entertaining for me to sit back and watch.
A unique accessory that I like and thought was smart is the recycling bucket that has it’s own place to sit under the counter. It’s brought a new curiosity of questions to them about what recycling is and what is recyclable. I like that they are learning about recycling at a early age.
This kitchen doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as some other kitchens do, but I think with play kitchens less is more. When there are so may accessories and different things my kids almost get overwhelmed and lose interest leaving a big mess of food and dishes behind.
I actually appreciate not having the “food” accessories with this kitchen as it’s less mess and it leaves more to the imagination.
The Step 2 Best Chef’s Kitchen is a great kitchen for the price. It’s very affordable and would make a super gift for any child.
My 1 year old loves pulling himself up to it and banging around in the kitchen right beside my 6 and 4 year old.
This kitchen covers a wide age range of kids and it will stick around with your kids for years to come.
