Hape Play Kitchens
A wooden Hape kitchen is the centre of a playroom for years on end. The models run from compact cooking corners for a small space to complete kitchens with an oven, a hob with clicking knobs, a sink and storage, mostly from about three years.
What to look at when choosing
Look above all at the worktop height and the space available: a kitchen of around ninety centimetres high works well for a four-year-old and still suits a child of five. Knobs that really click, a door that genuinely opens and hooks for pans are what make the play convincing.
Completing it with accessories
Pan sets, wooden cutting vegetables with hook fastenings, crockery and play food fill out the kitchen. Buying those gradually spreads the cost and gives an easy present for the next birthday.
