Plum Cookie Interactive Wooden Play Kitchen

The Cookie Interactive Wooden Play Kitchen from Plum Products lets children over three years of age copy their parents and roleplay food preparations to their hearts' content.The kitchen boasts a whole host of interactive features such as turnable hobs, turnable taps and oven and microwave doors that can be opened and closed. Its dimensions are H103 cm x L107 cm x W30 cm so it's big enough to have your child and their siblings or friends standing around it and working on different tasks at the same time.

There are pictures of useful appliances printed around the kitchen set including an ice dispenser and a toaster. To make it even more realistic water can be poured into the sink so your child can learn how to wash up after themselves and then the whole sink can be removed when they're done so the water can be poured away.

There are wooden accessories such as pots, frying pans, spatulas and spoons so they learn how to choose the right tool for each task and also a clock that lets them know when the food is ready and also teaches them about time. The advantages of wooden toys are that they are easier to clean, don't contain chemicals and last longer than ones made of plastic.

If you have a tablet you can make the kitchen even more interactive! Just download the free Plum app and place the device in the microwave slots. Your child can then select what they want to make and watch it 'cook' in the microwave thanks to the graphics on the smart device's screen.

Plum has many other toy kitchens on offer such as the Snowdrop Interactive model and the Terrace Wooden model which has a very similar appearance to the Cookie model, but has a few different features such as more storage space and a freezer.
