Guidecraft All In One Play Kitchen is a wood kitchen that isn’t pink. Unless you’re shopping for a child, you may not appreciate the importance of colors other than pink. Finding a well-designed kitchen that isn’t painted pink isn’t easy. This leaves many young children with the choice of playing in a girl’s kitchen or repainting a kitchen by hand. The kids would probably find the project a lot of fun. Parents may think otherwise, as painting efforts are likely to deposit paint not only on the play kitchen, but on any other nearby furniture and rugs as well.
Guidecraft not only produced a color scheme that works for boys and girls, but the kitchen itself is well thought out and practical. Like any kitchen, it has a refrigerator with a shelf and a write-and-erase board, a microwave, an oven with a sliding shelf, a sink, a dishwasher, open and closed storage, a clock with moving hands. and a wall phone. The kitchen has plenty of shelves, as the refrigerator and oven have built-in shelves, and the dishwasher could easily accommodate a homemade shelf. Double closet means additional storage space. So much storage space alone is worth the price.
The kitchen design is very simple and functional. On the left you have storage and display shelves. Next comes a stove and oven. Kids can use the top display shelf to keep pots and pans close at hand while cooking and baking. To the right of the oven is the kitchen sink, with a dishwasher below it. On the far right is the refrigerator with a counter top, useful for storing freshly washed dishes. All parts of the kitchen are well-constructed, and the storage areas are ideal not only for kitchen-related toys, but also for many other toys that might be overflowing your shelves and bins.
Play kitchens are wonderful for teaching children useful skills. Cooking requires planning skills, understanding of measurements, volume, weight, social skills if inviting others to dinner. Wearing a watch is also vital. By playing in a play kitchen, children will naturally learn new concepts. They will be open to help from parents, grandparents, and other adults. Parents could use the opportunity to guide them toward a better understanding of timekeeping, numbers, measurements, temperatures, and social graces. It takes a lot of time, and most parents are already pressed for time. But if adults could just find the time, then Guidecraft’s All In One Play Kitchen would become a wonderful source of entertainment, fun, and learning.
