BEST HANDCRAFTED WOODEN PLAY KITCHEN

The ZOE kitchen was spotted on Etsy and has AMAZING reviews. This is the kitchen most likely to get me to play for hours. I love all the hand crafted accessories and the design element makes me swoon. And the artist is willing to CUSTOMIZE this design.

The surface has enough space for them to make a 'bake' which can then be popped in the oven (with magnetic door) or set on the hob to 'cook'. Utensils and equipment can then be packed away in the handy cupboard or placed on the rack above the sink.

I'm sold on the overall sweetness of this play kitchen. The colors and design harken back to a simpler time when bakers could be found in every home. With an oven and integral microwave and plate rack, this kitchen range is made extra special with a multitude of original accessories.

Two wicker baskets provide lots of storage space for other pretend play food within the mini chef range, two wooden jars, three racks of herbs, three pretty plates, a printed gingham potholder, a printed mini chef tea towel and three cooking utensils. Pretend play food here is a delightful two-part fish with garnishes in an oval fish pan. Lastly but not least, don't forget to wash your hands at the sink with a handy soap dispenser.
