Are you thinking about buying a play kitchen set for your kid but wonder whether it might not be appropriate as he’s older?
Play kitchen sets are appropriate for kids at any age. This role play is a wonderful way for them to run their creativity, enhance their social skills, regardless of their age.
Two or more children?
There was a time in my research regarding kitchen sets when I started thinking that getting a large play kitchen set might be the way to go. If you have two or more children, you know how they argue on toys, how sometimes they fixate on something and refuse to share it. That can be frustrating when you’re playing at a small kitchen set and have no room to carry out your activity properly. Luckily, large play kitchen sets are coming to the rescue.
These kitchen sets are the best for children aged 5 or older:

I like that everything about this kitchen is very reachable, and that it comes with a lot of accessories, fully equipped for fun.
Its open design makes it perfect for older children or for more children playing at the same time. The electronic stovetop has very nice sounds, that engage children in a realistic pretend play.
A very nice large kitchen set, love the window details and the coffee station, the design so also very appealing and the colors very adaptable. It has realistic electronic features, clickable knobs and a play phone.
Such a realistic design, it’s like a real kitchen, but at a smaller scale. This one has a washer attached to it and as many families organize their kitchens to fit a washer, too, I think they’ll relate to this choice. The sounds and lights are very realistic, and the refrigerator is equipped with an ice dozer. The entire kitchen is both toddler and child friendly.
