If I had all the time in the world and a cool piece of furniture, I'd totally DIY.</p> <p>The land of nod has pieces on sale for less than $100 each, I might go for the stove and fridge and call it done. I like that they're not too overdone, just give the idea of being a kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56300 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:44:19 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 56300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone seen the kitchens on pintrest that people are making out of old entertainment stands? They're so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56299 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:38:07 +0000 Andrea 56299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: the LO has that at daycare! Super cute. We have the whole fruits at home. I am cool with plastic. I just saw that @looch is looking for wood so I pointed that out for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56295 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:34:11 +0000 808love 56295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I totally want that M&amp;D slicing fruit set to go with our kitchen. (Yah, too bad ours is cost-friendly plastic...but it's super nice looking plastic!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56279 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:59:41 +0000 Andrea 56279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-53173-Red-Retro-Kitchen/dp/B0030HBVG2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-53173-Red-Retro-Kitchen/dp/B0030HBVG2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a></p> <p>I got it when she was 8 months old even though it says for ages 3 and up. She started cruising at 7 months so I felt like she would enjoy cruising along the kitchen. I think there are other kitchens with cooler features but this is not plastic and the red vibrant color is great. We bought some Melissa &amp; Doug fruits and vegetables along with a pot and pan set to use in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56269 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:05:53 +0000 looch 56269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh..I don't want plastic, I would prefer something wooden. WRT the small parts...I am concerned about those as well, which leads me to think I might construct something myself when the time comes. I would like to see what he does around his cousin's play kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56262 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:49:22 +0000 SAHM0811 56262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Land of Nod play kitchen... Simple design... a bit pricey, but constructed well... hasn't broken on us yet (had it for 2 years now)... looks nice... LO loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56215 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:12:07 +0000 808love 56215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just built ours yesterday and we can see LO having a blast for years to come! I think this model is really great for the cost(good reviews). It's Step2 Custom. Grandma got it on sale for $60 or 70 Amazon but it can go up to $100.</p> <p>ETA My favorite part is when you put the little pan on the stove burner, it lights up red and makes a sizzling sound. More than enough for LO to do and built it easily in half hour. It comes with a bunch of dishes, so just have to add play food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56178 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:36:02 +0000 Rubies 56178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait for LO to have her own play kitchen! But yeah, I'll have to wait until she's a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56175 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:14:46 +0000 heffalump 56175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is too young for a kitchen. But I was looking into them for her first birthday and most said that they were for ages 3 and up because they have small parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-kitchen#post-56156 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:11:12 +0000 looch 56156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of play kitchen do you have? I am thinking of getting something for my son, not sure which direction to go in. He's 13 months and walking, so he could def. use it. </p>
