My kids (ages 3.5 and 5), have the Duktig kitchen. They got is as a gift from their Aunt, and they LOVE it. The microwave sometimes is a fridge or freezer in their pretend world. It’s really well built.
Too cute! Glad they have enjoyed that one! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
We have all the ikea play food, pots, pans, and utensils that we use with out retro wood kidkraft kitchen. They’re very good quality and priced affordably. My children love them! I’d definitely buy them again if I had to do it over. They’ve held up nicely for 3 years so far!
Thank you so much for letting us know the items you have and how much you love them, elewis91!
