Melissa & Doug created a fun and realistic play kitchen for children ages 3 and up. The stove dials rotate and click just like those on a real stove; the ice dispenser works and will dispense two play ice cubes (included). The faucet handle turns, its head swivels, and the appliance doors open and close. You can go for the kitchen only, or choose between five add-on accessory sets including bakeware, pretend food, grocery cans, pots and pans, and cooking utensils.
The kitchen set without accessories includes an oven, stove, microwave, sink, refrigerator with ice dispenser, and freezer. It features open storage shelves, hooks for hanging utensils, a towel rack, grocery list, and a faux tile backsplash. Choose between three color schemes for this modern-style kitchen: brown and grey, all white, or pink and white. Its wooden construction is sturdy and holds up over time, even with daily use.
Melissa & Doug products encourage kids to use their own imagination, so there are no electronic effects with this kitchen. No batteries are required, but you will need basic tools (including a screwdriver or drill) to assemble it. The dimensions of this play kitchen are 39 by 43.25 by 15.5 inches.
