Considerations When Looking for a Toy Kitchen

How did that happen? Your baby is now a toddler. Now it is time to look beyond baby rattles as toys. Now they need a toy which will help them grow. A toy which encourages exploring and learning. Some toys your child will only play with once. Other toys keep their interest for a little while. Then again, a few toys will last for years. One item fits the bill. It is a toy kitchen.

There is a large variation in sizes for toy kitchens. Know where in the house you will put the play kitchen will help you correctly size it. You are ready to make a selection once you decide where it goes. A small, table top play kitchen is ideal for limited space. Is there wall space available? A lot of units are made to be placed against the wall, yet they can be free standing if desired. Still check the dimensions of your space and play kitchen. The wall units also vary in size.

Sometimes you have only a corner of a room available. They do make corner play kitchens. If you have floor space in the middle of the room, an island kitchen is a choice. If you have ample room, then you can get individual pieces such as a stove, refrigerator and sink.

How long you are planning to keep the toy kitchen affects everything. If you are planning on moving soon and do not want to move the play kitchen, you may want to shop the classified ads or yard sale for an inexpensive unit. Consider an plastic or inexpensive "assembly required" play kitchen if your child will outgrow it soon.

Usually a play kitchen is kept for years. This is because it is often purchased for the oldest child and is then used by the siblings. If this is the case then buy a quality unit. Sometimes pretend play kitchens are passed down through generations, especially hand crafted wooden ones. You can find wooden play kitchens which look like fine furniture.

Toy kitchens mean play food, play dishes and pots an pans. Built-in storage is an important consideration. The more storage, the better off you will be. There are many places to store things in a play kitchen, including in the appliances. You will find room in the refrigerator, oven and sometimes under the sink. Some units have additional storage cabinets and shelves.

You can spend a bit of money on a toy kitchen. The advantage of a toy kitchen is that it is used for many years. When you think about that, it is not that costly on an annual basis.

In conclusion, when you are buying a toy kitchen think about where you will put it, how much space it will take, how long you will keep it, and if there is enough storage.
