Now it gets daily play. J got interested in it much sooner because he sees her play with it so they play together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895638 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 15:27:53 +0000 Beehive 1895638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one we just got for DS has arrived, we're going to give it to him on his 2nd birthday in a couple weeks. If he doesn't like it, I think DH and I will play with it... it looks like so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895326 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:19:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 1895326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given one used from a lady from DH's hometown, we were planning on getting her a different one but hey it was free. It is huge and stays in our basement but she LOVES it anytime she goes down there to play. We just bought her a Little Tikes grill for upstairs that she cooks on daily to get her fix. She uses this thing for everything, her imagination is great with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895283 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:57:54 +0000 fairy 1895283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were just given a used one from my neighbor and my 16-month-old LOVES it. Her favorite thing right now is opening and closing doors and putting things away/taking them back out, so it is a big hit. I would definitely go for a free/cheap used one over buying a new one though - people are always trying to sell them on facebook and consignment groups once their kids outgrow them since they take up space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895268 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:50:42 +0000 travelgirl1 1895268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one yet but she loves playing with them at playschool. I think she likes the play food the most, especially cutting sets, she gets right into those and tells me that she's "cooking". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895108 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:48:04 +0000 lisa1783 1895108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our play kitchen for our LO when he was about 18 months for x-mas and he's JUST really getting into it now at 2.5 years. But he loves to play with it now and makes pretend coffee every morning just like daddy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1895064 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:32:30 +0000 cascademom 1895064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves it. He plays with it occasionally. He's always making food and having fun with it. I think it was a great investment piece for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894998 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:05:12 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1894998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are putting ours together tonight. He better love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894908 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 10:07:54 +0000 bhbee 1894908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we got ours last christmas. how she uses it has definitely changed over time. it was more just doors and emptying to start, now she really plays pretend with all the items. DH taught her the word saute :wink: </p> <p>it really is a long-lasting toy so that's nice. but we don't have the playing with it at daycare issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894904 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 10:06:09 +0000 Smurfette 1894904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: This is what I am afraid of. She loves it at day care but will never want to play with it at home. Heck, she has no interest in most of her toys. Just follows DH and I around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894834 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 09:37:57 +0000 Andrea 1894834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say they like the play food more than the kitchen. They mostly just like opening and closing the kitchen doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894692 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:39:27 +0000 autumnlove 1894692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 wasn't super interested for the first 6 months but now she loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894675 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:32:58 +0000 looch 1894675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son doesn't really play with the kitchen at all, but he's really into the accessories, like the microwave, toaster, cutting food.</p> <p>eta: I thought he would love the kitchen because he always plays with it in playgroup or at daycare, but not at home, for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894672 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:31:12 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1894672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we bought it when charlie was 9 months and over 4 years later it still gets almost daily play here. both kids loved it. maybe he'll like it when he's a little bit older? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyones-lo-not-like-a-toy-kitchen#post-1894668 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:29:42 +0000 mrsjyw 1894668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're thinking of getting DS a kidkraft kitchen for Christmas this year (He'll be 2).</p> <p>My parents just bought a used one for a steal for their place and it seems hit or miss? </p> <p>Just wondering if we should bother to get one for our house. He LOVES helping us "cook," but not sure if he enjoys the "kid-sized" kitchen. </p>
