Kitchenette

For the past 6 weeks, I've been analyzing different toy kitchens for DD. They come in all shapes and sizes complemented with its ridiculous pricing ($30 - $180). We looked at playability, utensils, bells & whistles and reviews from other parents. Today, we went out to Toy'srus and was determined to buy this kitchenette which we think would really put a big smile on DD. Instead, we found this Fisher Price Fun Folding Kitchen tug away with no demo displays. This one never made it to our list for consideration. A closer look revealed a gem - folding capability for storage ease, has sound for "reality", minimal utensils - enough for DD to play and not too many to drive hubby insane and it's reasonably priced. It's take 10 min to "pop" it into place and the screwdriver is only needed to put one handle on. Nice! Has a removable sink. It's so real, DD poured water in everything she cooked. After 1 hr of play, she lies down with hubby and said, "Thank you, Mommie!" Aahh.....success.
