Toys and Games Reviews of Little Tikes Cookin Fun Interactive Kitchen
Customer Review: Awesome Kitchen just enough of everything!
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this kitchen from Toysrus.com and just received it a few days ago. It took my husband *maybe* 10 minutes max to put together. The directions are fairly useless as all they show are pictures and aren't *that* clear BUT it could not be more simple to put together. Not too many screws and some snap in pieces. The stickers came all crumbled but I was able to salvage them somewhat but will contact little tikes for a replacement set (due to a poor packaging job on their part, I've had stickers from almost all of their products arrive in that condition).
OK, on to the features, pro's & con's.... The kitchen in my opinion is the perfect size, not too little not too overwhelming. It fit perfectly in my kitchen (which is not large at all) and my son loves cooking right next to me. He LOVES the microwave but he's still a little short for it (he's 21 months) but stands on his tippy toes and that's fine (he will have lots of time to really grow with this kitchen in a variety of ways). The microwave is fabulous and I took the tip of another reviewer to not put the popcorn sticker on it which was an excellent tip, otherwise you can't see what's inside and my son loves to check out what's "cooking" in there. Also, as another reviewer said the microwave door doesn't completely close but it's close enough and I think the only people that actually care about these little nuances are us parents:) Same thing with the oven door, that doesn't completely close either (it's a little ill-fitting) but completely unimportant. My son LOVES LOVES LOVES when it's says "what would you like to cook"? ..."A hot dog", "eggs and bacon" etc. He gets so excited from the sizzling sounds and that it "speaks to him", he also loves the sound of the running water and pushing the puttons on the microwave. I also must say Little Tikes did a FANTASTIC job with the voice work on this kitchen. The voices are all little kids and they are SOOOOO cute, and speak very very clearly which I love. Yes, it is a little loud but a very easy fix is a piece of clear packing tape over the voice box which can easily be accessed under the black "grill", it made a huge difference, now it's just right. The only real con I can say about this kitchen is, it would have been nice if the dishwasher and the oven opened just like a regular one not side to side but I do understand why they made it this way. I think they incorporated just the right about of sounds into this kitchen as well, enough to be engaging and not too much to take away from using their imagination. The colors are awesome, nice and clean and modern looking and the best part GENDER NEUTRAL! I know some people love the look of the step2 kitchen but I personally think it's old fashioned looking, dark and dreary and an eye sore -- this is fun and fresh! I know they don't sell additional food for this kitchen but really don't think you need any more sizzling and cooking food that's interactive. I will buy additional play food but what they provided that works on the stove (eggs and bacon, hot dog on a bun, mac and cheese, spaghetti & meatballs & chicken) is truly sufficient. My only concern as others have stated is losing these pieces because they don't sell replacements...yet. But, I decided to make it into a learning game with my son and teach him that food and cooking utensils do not leave the kitchen i.e. so we don't lose the pieces (so far so good;)
I HIGHLY recommend this kitchen and feel that it's a wonderful toy for a toddler on up that will help foster their imagination and bring many years of smiles and laughter. It's very well made as are all little tikes products are and I love how easy it is to clean. All drumsticks up on this one!
