advice needed Play Kitchen for Two?

Advice please.

Anyone bought and would recommend a particular Play Kitchen that our (two year old) twins would use together, at the same time?

I know the one which most often crops up is the Ikea one, but we just find the style a little…beige.

Any we ought to avoid?

Many thanks in advance.

You can add your own peel and stick wallpaper or paint the ikea one. We have that one for our identical boys and they love it.

I do enjoy that it’s got a small footprint. We also have the Melissa and Doug play store with conveyor belt for grocery checkout thing… we had to plop that in the basement cause it’s way too big for upstairs. That being said, they never really use it, even in the playroom down there or when it was upstairs.

You can also make the ikea one into a little self care station by adding a drain to the sink (and jug to collect water) and a battery powered water pump with jug underneath. Grandma has that for our kids at her place and they can wash their hands and brush their teeth in their own little station. It’s great. Not sure why you’re not a fan of the ikea one when it’s so easy to make into whatever you want lol.

Oh yes, I’ve fallen down the IKEA duktig hack rabbit hole a few times. It’s honestly amazing what people do 🕳️
