The Real Life Play Kitchen by Lovevery was developed for kids ages 18 months to five years and up, and it recognizes that children with exposure to a real-life kitchen tend to be less interested in versions for pretend play. As the company shared in a blog, "A play kitchen should double as a sensory laboratory where your toddler can practice a whole range of motor skills. Your toddler is capable of more than you might think and their confidence is built by practicing simple tasks on their own."
This safe, skill-building kitchen playset includes a real, working sink wth fresh water that's safe for drinking, a utensil drawer to store stainless steel utensils, interchangeable backsplashes, food-grade accessories and more. To inspire endless play, The Real Life Play Kitchen comes with an activity guide for parents.
