We just got one recently like less than a month ago. He loves it. He plays with one at daycare. It was an easy decision to get him one at his age. He'll grow into it because he can barely reach the freezer part. For us, it was a good investment. For Christmas, my parents are getting him food and other stuff for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236680 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:33:30 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1236680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had ours since 9 months.

I think 17 months is perfect, might as well get as much use out of it as possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236645 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:23:46 +0000 lisa1783 1236645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started playing with one at a friend's house at about 14 months and he's getting one for Christmas (he'll be 18 months then) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236551 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:04:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 1236551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting him one for Christmas (he'll be 16.5 months). He loves playing with the one at the library! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236528 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:59:14 +0000 septca 1236528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buffalove: Thanks!</p> <p>I was dubious at first (about getting one on the early side), but lately my 10 mo has been super into opening cabinets, so I think she will love it when she gets it for her birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236516 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:56:50 +0000 mrskc 1236516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 17 months is the perfect age. My son is 13 months and we're planning on making one for him for Christmas. Right now he loves to get into the cupboards so I know he will at least enjoy opening the cupboards and pulling stuff out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236514 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:56:30 +0000 HabesBabe 1236514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buffalove: PregnantBee just posted a great deal on one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.wayfair.com/daily-sales/p/Best-Selling-Gifts-for-Kids-Play-Uptown-Kitchen-Set-in-Espresso~KK2338~E7601.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wayfair.com/daily-sales/p/Best-Selling-Gifts-for-Kids-Play-Uptown-Kitchen-Set-in-Espresso~KK2338~E7601.html</a></p> <p>I'm debating between that one or the corner kitchen (same design, just bigger):<br /> <a href="http://www.costco.com/Grand-Espresso-Gourmet-Kitchen%2c-4-pc-Cooking-Accessory-Set.product.100057278.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.costco.com/Grand-Espresso-Gourmet-Kitchen%2c-4-pc-Cooking-Accessory-Set.product.100057278.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236495 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:51:16 +0000 buffalove 1236495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: check out @septca: thread here: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-kitchens-what-age" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-kitchens-what-age</a> Looks like your LO is a good age too! and nothing wrong with mommy enjoying the kitchen as much as baby, hahaha.</p> <p>@HabesBabe: yes this was exactly my issue - that by the time the end of July rolls around, I'll have missed out on fun playtime. esp since I live in a cold area, this would be clutch this winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236456 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:40:18 +0000 HabesBabe 1236456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@buffalove: my LO will be 17 months old this Christmas, too, and we're going to get her a play kitchen. I feel like if we wait until her birthday, we'll be "wasting time" that she could be enjoying it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236451 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:39:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1236451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've been thinking about this too! i want to get one for LO, but she's only 13 months. i think i'm overly excited about getting her a play kitchen because i never had one growing up and i wanted one so badly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236443 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:37:13 +0000 buffalove 1236443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: oh sorry i missed that thread! i should have searched first :) thanks for the info, i'll go take a look at that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236423 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:32:55 +0000 cyndistar3 1236423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo loved it as soon as she was able to pull herself up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236420 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:31:59 +0000 septca 1236420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked this a few weeks ago and the consensus seemed to be 18-24 months. I think it would be a perfect time in your situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-for-a-play-kitchen#post-1236402 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:27:22 +0000 buffalove 1236402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 17 mo at Christmas. Is this too young for a play kitchen? What age did your kiddos start playing with something like that? </p>
