Toddler kitchen

[Hobblethwaite]

Hi

I am looking to buy a kitchen for my 19 month old and there seems to be hundreds about. Ive been searching and searching the Internet.

Looking to spend no more than £70. Any recommendations?

I'm watching this with interest...also looking for a kitchen - ideally a wooden one!

DD has had the Ikea one since around that age and still plays with it at 3.

It comes in two parts which can you can buy separately. Both parts together is about £90 but the bottom is less than £70 I seem to remember.

Santa bought his for our two last xmas...

I also searched for months trying to find a nice wooden kitchen that wasn't £200+!!

I'm really pleased with it. And so are the kids. Can't recommend it enough. Bargain.

Another vote for the ikea kitchen. Only costs £65 at the moment.

We have this one

Not wooden but very strong and durable. Comes with lots of accessories and has been very successful. Good size and much loved.
Look out for it on offer. We got it half price in one of their 'sales'

We got the Ikea kitchen for DDs 2nd birthday. She loves it. Great value

Ah I was looking at the ikea one but it looks a bit flimsy on the pictures. But i may have to investigate further now. The elc one looks great too though. Thanks ladies

Defo not flimsy. I can't imagine anyone being upset with it.

The hob lights up!!!

I have the ikea one, very sturdy, but have to say the plastic ones esp little tikes are better liked.

Another recommendation for Ikea's kitchen. DD got it for her second birthday, and it isn't flimsy at all. It seems very sturdy as she bangs it about. She loves it and plays with it everyday.

Look on ebay as well - we got a John Crane one similar to this secondhand, though it's a v reasonable price for the quality.

Really glad to see positive reviews of the ikea kitchen. Planning on getting it for my DS.

My 2yr old ds loves his IKEA kitchen, and I love that it blends in with our kitchen/diner. It's very sturdy.

Don't make the mistake of buying the lovely looking China tea-set/plates or aluminium pans tho...the former chipped easily on our stone floor tiles, and the latter are REALLY BLOODY NOISY WHEN BASHED OR DROPPED

we made our son a toy kitchen out of odds and ends of furniture, it came to about £20! Old bedside tables can be easily adapted and painted. I found loads of 'hacks' on the internet where other people had made toy kitchens and it gave me plenty of ideas. Plus we made it to fit into a recess in the wall, so it didn't get in the way.

We bought an incredible wooden kitchen for DD1 last Christmas - its a HABA German one off Amazon.

She loves it and so does every child that comes to play here. Expensive but worth it. The one I really really wanted was only sold in the USA

The ikea kitchen is reduced at the moment too, only £45 for the base.

Ikea kitchen it is. I'm off to get it tomorrow. Thank you everyone I'm sure she will love it.

It says on the website to buy the microwave and utensils to compliment it and they seem to be on a bar? Also is it easy to assemble.

I also made one out of old bedside cabinets. it was easy to do and matches the kitchen nicely!

My dh isn't particularly handy (IT geek) but think he enjoyed the evening before ds' s 2nd birthday assembling it. We got the microwave bit too. One minute ds could barely reach it, the next he'd shot up and now can use it.

Bloomin kids, do insist on keep growing

Hope you're happy with your purchase!

I bought these utensils from Hawkins Bazaar for flipping £7 last Christmas, and they're great...even better at under £2!
