The wonderful thing about pretend play is that it has uses far beyond just having fun. Pretend play is valuable because it stimulates and exercises children's minds to come up with creative scenarios for the toys at hand and also if there is a group of children, learning to participate in group activities and group play are all skill building activities that your children will use all the way into adulthood.
Even the most basic of life skills - cooking- can become a fun playtime activity for your kids. Talk to your kids about basic safety. Hot things burn, don't leave food out, wash hands before cooking so you don't spread germs and let them test out their cooking techniques in their
very own kitchen.The KidKraft Kitchen has left no detail out. There is an oven, a stove top, a sink a microwave and a fridge with a freezer. Additionally there is a cupboard for bowls and glasses and a cupboard below for cooking utensils.
Your kids can have a blast playing out every scenario from playing "house" to being Rachel Ray and creating a 30-minute meal on her own cooking show - this set will stretch as far as your child's imagination!
