How old were they when you introduced it
which brand do you have
would you recommend it?
I am thinking of getting a play kitchen for my LO she is 17m old I am hoping there will be some good deals with the holiday season coming up

We don't have one but I plan on buying one this holiday! Subscribing!

DS is 18 months old and loves the play kitchen at daycare so we will be getting him on for Christmas. I am debating on whether or not to make one myself or just buy one. If we buy one I will most likely go with this one from Melissa and Doug:
-
We actually jsut got a free one this week, she's only 12 months old so a little young, but I think she will love it. We were plannign on getting her one for Christmas, but I will take a free hand-me-down!
-
I was really particular about the kind I wanted (wood, sturdy) but then I ended up buying an inexpensive plastic one from Step2. I think it cost me about $40 and my son's not really interested in it beyond its ability to function as a closet for his collection of trains.
I don't know if he just doesn't like the one I picked, or the kitchen in general.
-
We don't have one yet, but I'm thinking of asking for one for Christmas (I know my ILs would buy it for her) and then I would supplement with felt food from IKEA. Thinking of one of the KidKraft ones.

Costco has a really great one right now.
-
Pretty sure M is getting the Ikea kitchen from my grandmothers for her birthday. She's young for it now but hopefully she'll grow into it!
-
ooh following!
-
We have a Kidkraft Retro kitchen and it looks amazing and LO loves it. DH did not enjoy assembling it.
-
@autumnlove: I heard that the retro one is small. Did you find that to be true? My son is really tall for his age so I was afraid this would be too small for him.
-
we are doing it for Christmas! LO loves the ones she encounters at the playground or other people's houses. she will be almost 2 then.
thinking red kidkraft retro so glad to hear you like it @autumnlove. I love to build things (former engineer) so hopefully it won't drive me too crazy!
-
We plan on getting her one (or my parents mentioned getting her one) for Christmas. I'm thinking just a Step 2 one.
-
@autumnlove: we also have a kidkraft kitchen. C got it for Christmas, so she was 14 moths old.
My husband posted a very angry status update on Facebook while assembling. He's an engineer. It took him 5 hours to build Chloe's, partly because he kept getting pissed and stopping.
I think he said the kitchen came with more assembly instruction than the wheelchairs he builds.
-
@MaisyMay: Is it online or in store?
-
@HabesBabe: I've seen it in store for $99. It's not on their website, but they do have some nice ones online. http://www.costco.com/kitchens.html
-
I looked up his status. It said, "Screw Christmas. I do less complicated stuff at work." with a photo of the instructions.
A few hours later he posted a photo of the kitchen he built with this caption, "I feel like I just passed a final... Guess I still get to be an engineer."
poor papa jumper... haha
-
We have a white kidkraft one. She got it at 12 months and currently just enjoys opening and closing the doors and putting stuff in the cubbies. I think 18mo+ is a great time to get one!!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Uhhhhh. My husband is horrible at putting things together. It'll take him 10 hours if it took your engineer hubby 5! Hmmm..I wonder if they make pre-assembled ones. Or maybe I should buy a used one that's already assembled.
-
@MaisyMay: Ohh, I need to check it out! I hope they carry it into the holiday season, although I'm sure the ILs would buy it now.
-
@HabesBabe: Ours just put it out not that long ago. I think it's one of their holiday things.
-
I'd like to get him one for Christmas (he'll be 16.5 months) but am undecided on which one.
-
Thanks everyone!!
-
@Mrsbells: The costco one is from kidscraft. It's this one, but $99.99 at Costco. http://www.diapers.com/p/kidkraft-large-kitchen-20337
-
@mediagirl: Are you happy you chose this kitchen? We didn't end up getting one for LO's bday, so we're going to buy it for the holidays.
