Play Kitchens That Your Little Ones Will Squeal Over This Year

The price tag for this toy kitchen set is a bit hefty, but you get a lot of charm along with it. The Chelsea Kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven with knobs that turn and two shelves, plus a two-burner stove. The farmhouse sink keeps it practical with plenty of storage below. Brass-like hardware complements any one of the four color options (Midnight Navy, Simply White, Gray, and Blush Pink).

This is no ordinary kitchen. If you’re aiming to get your children excited about their veggies, this garden-centric toy might be just the ticket. They can grow, chop, and cook all in one space. One reviewer provided helpful insight, "I used the BILT app as other reviewers suggested and it made assembly a breeze. I did it by myself in about 2 hours." She went on to write, "This kitchen is the cutest I’ve ever seen! It even has an ice maker with ice cubes! My kiddos absolutely love it, and I am so glad we upgraded to this gorgeous play kitchen. Just buy it, you won’t regret it."

We love this old-school set complete with a landline kitchen phone similar to what many of us grew up with. And how about the sweet little clock at the top that can help little ones learn to tell time? It doesn’t get much sweeter. Other features include functioning doors on both the microwave and oven, three oven dials that make sounds, a spatula, and three plastic spice shakers.

For tricky spaces, a two-piece set like this might be the most functional choice. The classic color scheme and ice maker that drops play ice cubes into a cup when pressed is a fun touch. It also comes in a white option and a pink option.
