meezers Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I read this as "Want to buy a 2 year old?" Sorry! Nothing useful to add... I like all the above - proper toys that can be played with, and can fire the imagination! Have fun choosing - and playing with it all! So did I I opened the thread to see what the little tyke had been up to to get himself sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ahhh poor mite! I have a cute pic of him from yesterday, when we went round Iceland. He tried opening the freezers to get the ice cream & he had to have his own basket. He also helped himself to what he fancied in his basket! Here he is in action! Oh & here are the pure class cakes we made! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybird Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My kids had the ELC kitchen and it lasted years. It is not as sturdy as the Little Tikes one (which is fab) but was sturdy enough to be kept outside around their wooden playhouse until they grew too big to use it. I hated the pretend food as it got everywhere - I still find bits of it when I am digging in the garden! My kids did play cooking but loved best the set of sturdy pots and pans which they filled with sand, mud, water, whatever they could find to concoct slimy gloop. They also loved to wander around the garden loading up the 'ingredients' into their big yellow truck (does he have one of those?) to bring it to the kitchen for mixing and 'cooking' in the oven. I gave them all their plastic baby spoons for play as they were tougher than the ones that came with the kitchen - their gloop needed strong cutlery. Although the play kitchen has now been dumped and the playhouse is rotting at the bottom of our garden the big yellow truck and the pots are still in the sandpit and get used from time to time. The other toy my kids loved at that age was a small but sturdy plastic wheelbarrow. I seem to remember one of it's many uses was also as a receptical for gloop mixing...
