Editorial Review

This pretend kitchen is a wonderful toy to keep toddlers occupied while you're trying to cook dinner. And, for those who are short on kitchen space, this kitchen playset sets up into a full-size kid's kitchen and then folds flat to store in a closet when playtime is done. The play kitchen features an oven and refrigerator that really open and a two-burner stove with dials that make cooking sound effects, such as sizzling or bubbling, when turned. The set comes with 18 different accessories, including a phone, a covered pot, a pan, two plates, two glasses, two forks, two spoons, a spatula, a serving spoon, a salt shaker, and several fake food items--a fried egg, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. At first glance, assembly looks daunting, but well-diagramed instructions make setup fairly easy. This playset requires three AA batteries to power the sound effects. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Great Imagination for toddlers
My 2 year old toddler love this kitchen. It really does keep her busy when I'm busy in the kitchen. It gives her recognition of things around the kitchen. It is very cute and fun!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT .....
I LOVE IT AND SO DOES MY DAUGHTER WHO JUST TURNED TWO YESTERDAY (SHE RECIEVED IT FOR HER BIRTHDAY. THE ONLY THING WRONG IS THE OVEN DOOR HAS A PROBLEM STAYING CLOSED. I DID NOTICE THE SAMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FLOOR MODEL AT TOYSRUS, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE FLOOR MODEL. I WAS WRONG. HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO REINFORCE OVEN DOOR LATCH WITH SCOTCH TAPE. OVERALL ITS A REALLY GREAT TOY FOR ANY LITTLE GIRL AGES 1 1/2 UP TO 3 YEARS OF AGE. HOUR AND HOURS OF FUN!!!

Happy Happy Mom
I wasn't sure if this kitchen was the right one to get for my 18 mo. old daughter, after reading the reviews, but I am so glad that we did! When we got it home, the screws were missing and so was the phone. I called ToysRUS and they simply gave me the missing parts, no problems! Like other families, our oven door falls open sometimes but not to the point where it is bother some. My daughter plays with it so much that it is usually open anyway. It was great that we didn't need to purchase any other dishes or food since it came with all that we need for right now. I even find myself enjoying the time that I spend playing with the kitchen! This really is a must have for any little girl who loves to pretend and have tons of fun!

it costs less because it doesn't work!
I bought this kitchen on impulse the day before my 2 yr old's b-day party. Big mistake. If I had only read the reviews first. Everyone is correct, the OVEN DOOR DOES NOT STAY CLOSED! My daughter was frustrated because she kept stepping on it each time she tried to get close enough to play. We finally taped it closed. The sounds worked for a minute and then we never heard them again...needless to say, this really irritated her too. WE RETURNED IT AND TRADED IT UP FOR A BETTER KITCHEN! This set may cost less than the others, but you are getting what you pay for--a cheap item that falls apart and doesn't work properly! Did anyone at Fisher Price test this thing?

Great except for oven door
Like several other reviewers, I cannot get the oven door to stay shut. But the kids don't mind. They haven't stopped playing with it, and now I have some quiet time to sit online and shop for staples for their new kitchen. ... Read more

Every child should have a tea set somewhere in the toy box, not just forfeeding favorite dollies and teddies, but also for practicing tea-party manners before aspecial party or dinner. This molded plastic set is made with the thoughtful design andextra-durable materials of most Fisher-Price toys, with the added bonus of a jolly musicalteapot. It plays "I'm a Little Teapot" when the top of the lid is pressed, and also providesa "magical" chiming noise when the pot is poured (requires two button-cell batteries;included). The set includes four teacups in pastel shades, matching saucers, a sugar bowl,a creamer, and four white spoons. Everything fits onto a sturdy lavender tray with largehandles and a built-in stand for the teapot. --Marcie Bovetz ... Read more

The Perfect Tea Set
I searched all over for a tea set that my 2-year-old daughter could actually use. This one is wonderful! The set is sized just right -- the cups hold enough that she (and I) can actually drink out of them, the teapot holds enough to pour liquid into all four cups, the teapot is easy to pour, and the cups are easy to hold. To top is off, it's a really pretty set, has a very well designed, easy to use tray, and is made of super durable molded plastic! Not to mention then cream and sugar set, spoons you could actually use if you wanted to, and a very reasonable price.

I was concerned about the "pouring" noise making us crazy as it kept going off when I wrapped the gift, but found that in the course of normal play it's not bothersome. Just store the gift flat until it's unwrapped. My daughter found it really intriguing to unwrap a gift that was singing.

My daughter has a lot of fun playing with this toy and serving all her stuffed friends. It's on my gift list for all the little girls I know.

Wish I had this tea set when I was a kid!
My girls love it. They are always playing TEA. My girls are 2 and the size is perfect for their little hands. The plastic seems durable and I think this toy will last for some time with normal use. The "pouring" sound the tea pot makes can be annoying to parents, but the kids seem to love it. The tea pot also plays "I'm a little tea pot" which is cute and my girls love it when I sing the song.

Great Buy for little girls
II BOUGHT THIS TOY FOR MY NEICE LAST MONTH AND SHE LOVED IT. SHE HAS A BIT OF A PROBLEM NOT DROPPING CUPS AND SPOONS ECT. WHEN "SERVING" TEA BUT ALL IN ALL A NICE BUY ALSO THE LID WHICH MAKES THE NOISE CAN BE SOME WHAT ANNOYING AND AFTER 2 MONTHS THE BATTERIES RAN OUT AND WERE HARD TO REPLACE THE SPOONS ARE ALSO EASILY LOST AND THE TRAY IS JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO ARRANGE IT JUST RIGHT A TASK OFTEN RESERVED FOR ME OR MOM. THE PLASTIC IS THICK AND DURABLE AND CUPS PERFECT SIZED FOR WEE HANDS SHE WAS A LITTLE DISSAPIONTED WHEN SHE FOUND OUT YOU COULDN'T HAVE REAL TEA (THE ELECTRONIC COMPONETS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE.) WE ARE NOW HAVING TEA EVERY DAY THOUGH SHE LOVES AND SO DO I A GREAT BUY RECOMENDED HIGHLY FOR THAT FIRST TEA SET

Confused - Mfr says for 2 yrs & up, not 3
I couldn't give a rating, because I haven't purchased this yet, but plan to do so for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I have the Fisher Price catalog in front of me, which says specifically that it is for ages 2 years & up. It does not say anywhere that there are small parts/choking hazards as TRU indicates. I have noticed that Amazon/Toys R Us does not always list the correct mfr's age for the toys they sell. I've noticed this with the Disney My First Princesses when they first came out, but TRU has since corrected the ages on the site. Just FYI. I will correct the rating once I purchase the toy.

Wonderful! Traditional toy brought right up to date
Fisher Price rarely disappoint, and this tea set is no exception. There is the usual set of four cups, four saucers, four spoons and a tea pot, plus a milk jug and sugar bowl. What this adds is a little turntable (is it called a lazy susan?) in the middle of the tea tray on which the child can place the tea pot (or anything else they fancy spinning round!). They have also added a little mechanism in the tea pot lid which plays a little tune (The theme from Watch With Mother) when the button on the top is pressed and another to indicate that it is being tipped. This is really an excellent toy for all ages. Even after my nearly two year old has gone to bed I find myself making myself a sly cuppa just so I can hear the pouring noise! ... Read more

Budding young pastry chefs can get some early training in the culinary arts with this pretend kitchen. Kids can make, bake, and decorate toy goodies in this workstation, which includes a refrigerator, overhead pantry, and side storage for ingredients; a stovetop with burners and knobs and an oven for cooking treats; and a sink for cleaning up. The magic oven appears to actually "bake" the seven different sweets that come with the kitchen by changing their color when "cooked." Kids can refer to the built-in cookbook to see what treats should look like before and after baking. An icing bag with a soft tip lets kids decorate their masterpieces after they come out of the oven. Other vital kitchen accessories in the set include a mixing bowl, a baking dish, two serving plates, a potholder, a pitcher, two water goblets, a spatula, a fork, a spoon, a whisk, a cake stand, four cake toppers, cake mix, a milk carton, an egg, and a phone. The oven operates on three D batteries (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

boring
We had bought this kitchen for my 20 month old daughter after we saw how much fun she had with a garage sale 1950's kitchen that a freind had. We chose the higher price tag kitchen hoping it would grow with her and for the snazzy picture on the box.

This kitchen is BORING!!
Only the stove makes noise or lights up and it cooks too long.
It does not have a sprayer for the sink and the pantry is too high. Also none of the accesories fit in the pantry. Also small children are not intrested in specially preparing to cook and have colors change they just want to walk up and play with it.
And the kitchen comes with lady bug stickers which once applied I could not remove and my daughter is afraid of them.
Even when she does attempt to play with this toy " she ends up yelling bug the whole time. I am very upset that I made a rash decision and paid (...) for this kitchen that is not up to parr when this will probably be the only kitchen she has. It would not make sense to buy yet another.

{Parents this is just one more reason to always check the online reveiw of toys)

Not worth the money!
We bought this for our daughters 3rd birthday. The kitchen we wanted to get her was not in stock at the time. She picked this one out, I think because of the colors and cookies in the picture.

I was not happy with it but I figured she liked it so that is all that mattered.

After it was put together I realized I really didn't like it and wanted to return it.

The refrigerator was cheesy, the plastic that it was made of was the kind that if she or her soon to be climbing brother climbed on it it would break into sharp pieces.

Every time she opened the oven door, it would hit her toes. I had to remember to freeze the part that goes in the oven so it would bake the dessert which I always forgot to do. Plus it was in our basement which is a bit on the cool side so the food never went back to the uncooked state.

The knob to turn on the oven was hard for me to move let alone my 3 year old.

I was not happy with this toy and I love Fisher Price toys too. (...)P>The only good thing about this kitchen was the play cups, they were cute.

Great Kitchen for Two
I got this for my two and four year old for christmas 2003. They play all the time with it. Remembering to keep the color changing device frozen can be hard but they play just as much without it. The oven door was a little hard to open at first but it has been broken in and works great now. I did not put this toy together so I do not know about the hardships of it. All I know is my girls love it and use it almost everyday. It came with two sets of color accessories so that worked out great. Even though one does not work as well as the other it pacifies the urge to not share.

FRUSTRATING!!
I bought this on sale AFTER Christmas in 2003 knowing it would be a good purchase for my 3 year old daughter. She LOVES to cook and was thrilled when I FINALLY got it put together.

I agree that the oven door NEVER shuts and the refrigerator door comes OFF all the time. We never could get the sounds to work.
BUT since I got it 50% off, it was worth that amount of money.

If you're paying full price, think again- spend a little extra and get a deluxe play kitchen.

Not to happy!
If I had it to do over again, I would not suggest this kitchen. The oven door does not stay closed and my daughter gets so mad trying to shut it over and over again. Even though all the items that come with this kitchen are cute, its not worth the hassle of making the food change colors. Think twice before you purchase this one!! ... Read more

PERFECT FOR 3 YEAR OLDS!!!
I justbought this kitchen for my three year old daughter and she loves it, but the best part about it is when she is done playing I can store it away in the closet or cabinets, ect. ect. unlike the huge child size kitchens that take up so much space. It is a perfect size for her american girl doll and Barbie kelly baby doll.works great for us and I just went today and bought the washer dryer combo and the food sets. We love it!

fun in a small space
This is the perfect size kitchen for play houses and tents!My 3 and 6 yr olds love it because they can sit on the floor of their "house" and fix anything their little hearts desire!So cute and comes with the perfect amount of accessories--very portable, my 3 yr old can carry it outside!LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! ...
