Four simulated appliances give this pretend play kitchen more to explore than a single stovetop: children ages 3 to 6 can warm a dish in the microwave, load the dishwasher, pull cubes from the ice maker and slide a tray into the oven. The 20-in counter carries cookware and a lift-out basin whose tap pivots, and turning the rotary knobs triggers cooking sounds. A 16-in blackboard takes the day's specials while the telephone handles orders. Sanded MDF panels, a hanging bar for cloths and open cubbies complete the 27-lb unit.
