We got a play kitchen when Charlie was 9 months old, and it pretty much saw daily play until Charlie was 4. Both kids haven't been playing with the kitchen lately though and instead just play with the food stored inside. They vastly prefer to play picnic/tea party than cook.
Since space is limited in our apartment, we've been thinking about selling our play kitchen.
Does yours still get a lot of play? How old is your LO?

Yes, they play with it every day. They are 3 and 22 months.

Ours has been moved to the basement for space reasons - so they play with it only when DH is working out down there or in the summer when its super hot outside and the basement is nice and cool - they are 4 and 6

DS is nearly 2.5 and plays with it every day (often several times a day).

My daughter doesn't use the actual kitchen so much as the stuff in it, which she frequently uses. I could probably get rid of the actual kitchen with out a ton of drama.

He is 3 and plays with it pretty frequently - he likes to bake me eggs and cupcakes (he says tupt-takes)

All the time...It's about the only toy he plays with. He'll be 3 in May and my younger son (1yo) plays with it too when his brother lets him

It was never a big hit in our house, so this year, I plan to bring it out by the pool for water play, and then we'll recycle it (it's plastic).

Not as much anymore. My daughter prefers drawing/coloring these days. She still plays with the kitchen toys though.

We bought the kitchen for LO1 for his 1st birthday, and it still gets a lot of use. I've noticed that LO2 plays more with the kitchen, while LO1 brings the food everywhere around the house and plays picnic. They are 3.5 years old and 16 months old.

We were given a hand-me-down kitchen that is very large, that is in our basement, she plays with it when we are down there (but this winter it wasn't often as it was cold.) We have a small toy grill that is in our living room that she plays with daily, she's always serving us food.

We actually are giving it away this week to a friend who has a daughter a few years younger than ours.

Eh, maybe once a week. She's 2.5 and we've had it for over a year. I thought she'd love it but it really hasn't gotten that much use. I'm considering selling it to get it out of our family room.

DS is 4 and rarely plays with it. DD is 15 months and can only reach the bottom cabinets (it's the ikea kitchen). Hopefully she will be more interested in it as time goes on.

Every day. She likes to play restaurant or tea party too, but since the kitchen is a great place to store all that junk, I think I'd keep it around, even if it only saw infrequent use.

Multiple times every single day. We got it for her when she was 14 months and she's 17 months now.

26 months. It's a hit when other kids come over for play dates but she doesn't really play with it that often. She prefers playing with just the food too.
