I love this for our youngest toddler. We have lots of play food, but I have held off on getting him a play kitchen because I wasn't really sure he'd use it and space is at a premium with lots of kids. But he loves anything to do with outside, and so incorporating the play garden with the little kitchen is perfect! He loves putting the eggs down the shoot into the bucket. He "picks" the veggies and passes them through the shaped holes into the kitchen. Then he puts them away in the fridge, matching the shapes there, too. He is too young to read his numbers, but each spot in the fridge has the number printed inside it that corresponds to the number of vegetables (or fruit) on that shape. I think it's a fun little detail to add. (It's hard to see in my photo, but there are four pea pods on the green square, not three).
There is a little recipe book with a recipe for the lettuce wrap and avocado toast that are included. There is a yellow serving tray for that has pictures of where to place the dishes. If you flip it over it is a cutting board and all the play food and dishes can be stored in the space under it.
The basket and eggs can be hung up on the back so everything is tidy.
Putting it together did take some time, but it wasn't difficult. It was well packaged in the colorful box and then sealed inside a brown Fisher Price box specific to the product. And that was put inside an Amazon box. A bit overkill. But because all three boxes were in perfect condition, I know the big black scratch on the kitchen piece happened before it was packaged. So I did take a star off for that.
Please note: If you cannot find the packet of screws for the easy assembly, look In the bag with the vegetables! I thought ours was missing, but there they were! Also, you will need 3 AA batteries!
This new Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Kitchen is fun two sided playset that keeps you’d child engaged and learning all at the same time. What better way to learn about food than to grow your own vegetables and gather your eggs! It grows with your child by choosing level 1,2 or 3. Lots of discovery with shapes and sound. As always, kids love to cook, so the kitchen stove and shape sorter refrigerator is perfect for the little ones!
Although the ages are 18 months and up, my 14 month old granddaughter loves this! She is constantly dropping the eggs and filling the bowl! The look of amazement in her eyes is so much fun to watch.
Your new kitchen comes with a lot of accessories! Some play food to make a lettuce wrap and a sandwich, frying pan, fruits/veggies, eggs, utensils, etc. It even has a sink so you can wash those dishes and clean up!
I am all for pretend okay! The lights and sounds aren’t annoying at all. Sing the ABC’s! Put your cup under the spout and get yourself something to drink.
We each take turns farming and cooking! It’s been great in teaching to take turns. It’s also good when you have other children playing! There is room for more than one!
I have uploaded a few pictures and video so you can see what our new farm to table kitchen is all about!
I just finished putting this together so this review is very fresh in my mind.
-packages very well
-instructions aren’t pretty clear except for the first step that you do. Be careful with this step because it’s not clear which way the legs go. Also one of the screws went in wrong and got stuck and stripped not securing the leg. However I just left it and then one of the end steps it secures the legs to the main frame so it didn’t cause an issue from messing up the first step.
-really cute toys and accessories came with this
-you need 3x AA batteries which are not included
-assembly took about 20 minutes from start to finish, hardest part was finding where the screws were
-playtime! My daughter was playing with this while I was putting it together, she literally couldn’t wait! It’s pretty big and great for multiple kids because one can play on one side and another kid on the other
-it’s a little pricy at almost 100$ but overall I would say it’s worth it
This grow the fun Garden is made very well with a bunch of activities for the littles! It was quick and easy to assemble and everything was mostly snapping it together with the exception of a few screws needed. Directions were easy to follow as well for those that use them, but I was able to put together without them and found it to be pretty easy.
The kids had fun putting the shapes in different spots & were drawn to the bright colors. Their favorite part on the set is the light switch that turns the lights on and off (what toddler doesn’t love a good light switch?!) It also sings & lights up and the songs aren’t obnoxious which is a huge plus! My son is 18 months old and his niece is also 18 months old. I think this set would be age appropriate for 12-36 months before it may start getting a little boring.
My only real complaint is the yellow part on the rubber egg is already rubbing off. Other than that I would definitely recommend. It will entertain your little one for a decent amount of time!
This is such a cute kitchen,garden set. I wanted this for my nieces when they come over. My toddler is almost three and he enjoys playing with it as well. There is so much to do and keep them busy. It has 30+ play pieces, lights, music. It provides pretend play for hours while they learn new things. I've heard it teach the letters, colors, numbers, shapes, and much more.
Since this is two sided it really grows with them. If your baby isn't running around yet, there is plenty for them to do on the garden side. It teaches kids about farm to table. This is a really great set and one of the better ones I have. There is so much for to keep them busy. It's also well made and durable, just what you would expect from Fisher-Price.
