LO got one for her birthday. But only recently has been really playing with it. She just turned 17 months. :)<br /> I really liked the Kidkraft one and would've put that one on her wishlist had I known the ILs were going to buy her a kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1134223 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 09:51:10 +0000 looch 1134223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son played with kitchens consistently beginning at around 18 months. We still have it, but it is now a storage area for his trains. Imagine my surprise when I opened the oven and found all his trains and cars in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133461 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 14:04:24 +0000 Dandelion 1133461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a great age to get it! She'll grow into it quickly, and you'll be glad you got it for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133453 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:51:41 +0000 sarac 1133453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter got one around that age. I'm not sure she did the 'right' kind of things with it at first, but she certainly enjoyed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133447 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:48:48 +0000 owlmom 1133447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got LO a kidcraft kitchen for Christmas last year when she was 14 months. She was interested in it right away. By 16 months she was playing with it every single day. It is the single most used toy in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133445 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:44:56 +0000 jmarionsmith 1133445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @HLK208: @yin: thank you all! </p> <p>@Sammyfab: i hadn't even thought of the ikea one. i just looked it up and love it! thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133438 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:36:18 +0000 yin 1133438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO received the kidkraft play kitchen for his first birthday and instantly loved it. He started understanding the concept of cooking and pretending early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133434 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:28:22 +0000 HLK208 1133434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was 6 months when we first bought ours (DS was 3). But she really showed interested in it at 9 months and plays with it every day right now (16 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133432 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:26:46 +0000 Sammyfab 1133432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO got one for Christmas last year when he was 10 months. By the time he was 16 months he definitely had way more fun playing with it. We have the Ikea kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133429 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:23:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1133429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: Chloe got one when she was 14 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-16-months-too-young-for-play-kitchen#post-1133408 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 12:53:23 +0000 Bao 1133408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: my parents are ordering hers and it will be the Step 2, it had to be below $100 and this one I liked best for $92.

I thought a play kitchen would be a good "big" gift but I don't know if he will be too young to enjoy it. Should we wait for his 2nd birthday? </p>
