In case you are wondering how a little boy (ages 2-4) would play with a play kitchen...here is the actual run down of how they do it.
And it is so different from a girl- of that I am sure.
which are delicious by the way....
The make sure army guys are guarding the raisins and salt and pepper, and just in case the army guys need help, they place a "knife" (it's plastic people) next to them...
They make baseball soup too.
So if you still think kitchens aren't for girls...think again. I used to think that too. But I have realized that imagination/pretend play is for all children.
And it is just a kitchen. Not a make-up vanity people.
They didn't even want a kitchen- I did. It will make a great addition to my pre-school room :) Plus it is cute and I needed some cuteness around here. :)
We play restaurant with the kitchen mostly. And dinosaurs. And cars. And racetrack. That is boys for you and I just love them! Even it it means lots of cars, airplanes, helicopters, dinosaurs, army guys, dirt, mud...and an occasional play kitchen- because mommy needed one you know.
Boys crack me up!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteMy three year old son has a few kitchen sets (two in our house, and one in his playhouse: http://cutest-little-things.blogspot.com/2009/09/little-boys-playhouse-revealed.html).
And he plays with them quite a bit! He pretends he's running a restaurant and takes our orders or that he's cooking me dinner or breakfast! It's fun for him, and hey - guys cook, too, right?!?
I'm glad to see they're making more gender-neutral kitchen sets these days! Because YES, boys, too, like to emulate mom and dad in their play kitchens!

Very well said Judy! And have I told you how much I love your playhouse?? I think I have but I'll tell you again.
ReplyDeleteIt is the best :)
And yes boys cook too. Most chefs are men. and... Everyone has to eat :)
Jill- boys totally crack me up too :) love them for that.
That made me chuckle because it's the same way in our house. Except my son likes to feed a baby doll and then put her in the oven, along with his cars and hammers.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! =)
ReplyDeleteHa! Boys are so fun. My little guy is only one, but I look forward to more stuff like this!! The muffins are my favorite part! Cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteOh that is su cute and funny!

Oh yes...our kitchen has cars in it too :). My youngest likes to use the pretend fridge as a REAL one. We have found nasty milk sippys in there too many times.
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME... I love the army guys guarding the salt and pepper!
ReplyDeleteI got my 2 year a tool bench for his birthday and all he does is pretend to cook at it... I kinda wish I got him a kitchen now. I know he would have loved to make some Baseball soup! :)
Hahaha. Looks like our play kitchen:) Boys have different ideas than girls- that's for sure:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm worried my boys will really play kitchen when we get ours. Sam LOVES to help bake and create. Maybe he'll be a great chef someday - they're usually guys, right?!
