No longer is the kitchen the domain of little girls and their mothers.  Today’s children are now allowed to experience every aspect of creativity and play.  If your son likes to help cook in the kitchen, it’s okay.  With this in mind, we will examine what the top kitchen toys are for both boys and girls.

Once upon a time, kitchen sets were for girls and a construction sets and trucks were for boys. But with unisex becoming more popular these day, manufacturers are now designing intriguing sets that fit well into your child’s playroom no matter what gender they are.

In looking over the different types of kitchen sets available, we found that some of the best sets were of the long lasting durable material such as sold by the Pottery Barn Kids. While they may seem to be a bit on the pricey side, the durability will ensure long lasting enjoyment compared to the plastic and vinyl versions of all in one play sets that are available in the cheaper department stores.

Pottery Barn Kids offer a Retro Red Kitchen suitable to boys or girls, a Pink Retro set designed especially for that little Princess in your house, and the Gourmet Set.   Of the three main sets, the Gourmet offers the most selection of mix and match, and is more like today’s modern kitchens.

Any parent would be proud to watch their child hard at work using their imagination at the Island, or stove.  There are no more realistic sets on the market.  And they will be sure to hold your child’s interest for hours at a time, preparing meals just like Mom and Dad, or Grandma.
