Hop on Pinterest and you'll see hundreds of different ways you can create a kid's kitchen play area on a budget. But what if we told you that starting with a ready-made kitchen could save you time and money?
In any home with children, a play kitchen is an absolute must. As one of the most commonly used toys for children of all ages, your kids will love making pretend desserts, preparing for picnics, and inviting friends over for imaginary dinners. If your pretend kitchen is well prepared, then your child's favorite toy can become a central part of your home-a lure for imaginary play at any time of the day.
To make your child's toy kitchen both stylish and functional, order a ready-made toy kitchen from Tinyland and start building from there. All of our toy kitchens are beautifully crafted, and their unisex design makes them ideal for girls and boys alike. Our children's kitchens are simple and modern in design, complementing any décor and color palette, and are a pleasure to display in your home.
Choose accessories for your kitchen
Pretend play accessories enhance the toy kitchen experience by adding role-play value. A kitchen toy set will have basic accessories, but to keep your child engaged over time, you may need to invest in some additional accessories. You can also use these accessories to help instill healthy cooking and eating habits in your child from an early age (more on this later).
When purchasing accessories for your child's play kitchen, consider your child's age. If you have young children in your home, you don't want accessories that are too small, as they can pose a choking hazard.
You should also consider whether you want to use plastic pieces in your toy kitchen. At Tinyland, we prefer to use wooden accessories because not only do they look more delicate, but they are.

Encourage play in the kitchen
Most children enjoy the responsibility and independence that a toy kitchen provides. Some children even understand the importance of kitchen safety, yelling "hot" when they are near the oven and remembering to wash their hands before they start preparing food. Other children may need a gentle reminder to start playing and learning.
Develop Healthy Eating Habits
Healthy eating habits are fun, and with a little planning and the use of a play kitchen, you can easily do just that. Download some printables from Pinterest, or check out the Australian Government's Healthy Eating Learning Experience Pack. Choose realistic-looking healthy foods to play with creatively and teach your child the importance of healthy eating in the game. You can also talk about international cultures and food in a fun and interactive way that encourages your kids to try new things in the "real world".
