Would You Purchase This Kitchen Set For Your Son?

Would you purchase a kitchen set for your son? My now 4 year old grandson has been asking for a kitchen set for months. We just celebrated his birthday and purchased this adorable kitchen set for him. He loves it, but his other set of grandparents believe kitchen sets are for girls. The picture clearly shows a little boy on the box playing with the set, so it obviously isn't just for little girls.

Please tell me why people still think this way. Some of the best chefs in the world are men. My grandson loves to cook. As you can see, he's been at it since he was 2 years old. He's making a spinach dip for his mommy in the picture below, who loved his creation.

This is Xavier whipping up brownies with grandma several months ago. He had a great time making them and a better time eating them. My father was a better cook than my mother when I was growing up. Have you heard of Bobby Flay and Emeril? Do you watch the food channel? Ninety percent of the challengers on Iron Chef are men. The Cake Boss is a man. I'm just saying, lol.

It's so sad that we have people in the world who still think this way. What frightens me is what they're teaching him when he spends time with them. My daughter spoke up, and make it clear that she will not have her son taught 50's views and values. Whether he wants to be a chef or fly jets will be up to him. If he turns out to be gay, so be it. He will be loved just the same. I was so proud of her. It's this kind of narrow minded thinking that generates prejudice in the world.

We purchased this set at Toy R Us and it is the bomb. It is made by Lifestyle Legacy. A little pricey, but well worth the price. The colors are fun and features a sink, swivel faucet, 2 burners with clicking knobs and a cutting board. It even has a cell phone for take out orders or chatting with grandma while fixing dinner, lol. It also includes an oven, microwave, refrigerator with water dispenser, coffee pot, storage bins, dishes, shakers, pots and pan and the list goes on. It has everything a little chef needs to cook a great meal including a pot holder, and it will provide opportunity for him to use his imagination. Isn't that an important part of development for a child regardless of whether they are boy or girl? We even received a free 85-piece food set with the purchase. It was the perfect gift for him.

We see this set providing hours of entertainment for his little friends who are visiting with mommy and daddy, and we're sure Zarriah will love using it when she gets older too. It's a breeze to clean, and assembled quickly. Don't forget the batteries. The clicking of the burners is a big part of the cooking process. If you're in the market, you should add this kitchen set to your list of toys to check out. You little one would be thrilled if Santa puts one of these babies on his sled. I highly recommend it.

We have two boys and they both love their kitchen set! Playing with toy food, making dinner for papa, etc is an almost daily occurrence. It pays off too! Our 5 year old can boil water, mix cookie batter, cut vegetables (with close supervision) and crack and scramble eggs. Pretty soon we'll have another cook in the house to help with meal preparation!

Kitchen sets are not just for girls. Boys need to play with the toys they enjoy and not just trucks and cars. If they enjoy cooking then there is nothing wrong with that.

@Jody - Thanks for stopping by. Glad to hear that other parents are encouraging their sons to enjoy kitchen sets. I would never allow Xavier to boil water or cut vegetables, but he does help me crack eggs, mix batter etc.

@Mya Maternity - I agree, boys need to learn to play with other toys besides cars and trucks. Thanks for stopping by.

Young little boys have fun with kitchen sets just as much as little girls have fun playing with race cars and tracks. PLUS there are a lot of handsome successful male chefs in the world!! :)
