KidKraft Kitchen: The Definition Is Possibility

By George Jackson


Growing up, one always remembers the cool toys fondly. If they haven't survived the trip with you to adulthood, hopefully they went out in a blaze of glory, like being caught in the gears of a combine. But play kitchens? If my experience is any indicator, then the semi-tan, bare bones play kitchens did little to intrigue the young into chef careers. It was marginally better than drawing a microwave onto a piece of cardboard and taping it to the wall. The Kidkraft kitchen? Let's say that my career would have taken a much different turn were one of these to be nestled in the house.

Now it may be a little large and far too expensive to set outside, attacked by farm machinery. However, what it lacks in portability it makes up for it in impeccable style. Would you like an argyle back splash with your play kitchen? How about a stainless steel theme throughout the kitchen? Or do you want to be reminded of a simpler time and yearn for a vintage look? We're not even scratching the surface here folks.

Yes, there exists a head chef kitchen design available. Allow this to sink in for a minute. Your children and their friends can enjoy Head Chef as well as designate all the sous cooks. In case you have ever desired to provide your children a taste associated with kitchen dominance, this particular set has what you want.

The knobs turn, the faucet swings to and from, the doors to the appliances open and close. If you pick a certain model, you'll even get a washing machine in your kitchen. How very European. In the descriptions, you'll also notice it mentions plenty of prep space. A play kitchen is touting prep space as one of the features. All that seems to be missing is a gas and electric hookup.

The bad? They take much longer to put together than you may think: the assembly time is measured in hours, not minutes. Once together though they are sturdy, kid-resistant and likely to shrug off anything short of a flood. Or a run on Chocolate chip cookies once your kids have perfected the recipe. Hint: it involves just an extra pinch of mud. All in all, you could not be more pleased with a Kidkraft kitchen. Take it from me: I'm writing this to you on the ample counter top.
