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.

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.
-
I can't wait for LO to have her own play kitchen! But yeah, I'll have to wait until she's a toddler.

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.
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.

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.
-
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.

We have this one:

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 & Doug fruits and vegetables along with a pot and pan set to use in the kitchen.

@Andrea: I totally want that M&D slicing fruit set to go with our kitchen. (Yah, too bad ours is cost-friendly plastic...but it's super nice looking plastic!!)
-
@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.

Has anyone seen the kitchens on pintrest that people are making out of old entertainment stands? They're so cute!

Thanks everyone!
I love the play kitchens on pinterest, the ones that are hacked from old furniture, but I need to be realistic about both my abilities and time! If I had all the time in the world and a cool piece of furniture, I'd totally DIY.
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.

Have you seen the blog post that was done a little while ago on play kitchens? http://www.hellobee.com/2012/01/04/play-kitchens/
