I am so grateful for the fond memories I have of watching and helping my mom cook when I was little, and I want to give my son those same experiences. But Little E seems a bit too young for that right now. Until he stops grabbing at everything and starts to have a longer attention span, I want to give him something else to do. Enter imaginative play!
I am thinking of getting E some play fruits and veggies to go in a play kitchen. There is such a wide variety in play kitchens! Some look just like an adult kitchen and would take up a whole wall. I am leaning toward getting the KidKraft Vintage Kitchen. A friend of mine has it in blue, and it is sturdy, easy on the eyes, and not too big.
Do you have a favorite product or brand to recommend? What were your favorite food-play activities? (Mine was "running" my own restaurant with a friend. Our signature dish? Rainbow salad: red tomatoes, orange carrots, yellow peppers, green lettuce...and blue salad dressing. Not blue cheese, just ranch with blue food coloring!)
