We love the Step2 Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen! *Review & Giveaway* (Closed)

Last month, my house became a bake shop in the kids play area. I am madly in love with the Step2 Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen! I think I spend more time at it than any child does. :lol:

If you want to talk about role play, I wanted to show you the fabulous Step2 Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen.

step2logo-newWARNING! It could make your real kitchen jealous! This deluxe play kitchen is loaded with features, accessories, and storage space, which will keep your children busy for hours imagining that they are a 5-star chef!

  • Appliances make realistic electronic sounds
  • Granite-look countertop
  • 38-piece accessory set included (accessories may vary)
  • Loads of storage space
  • Framed window with overhead light
  • Sink with modern faucet and pull-out sprayer
  • Adult assembly required
  • Made in USA of US and imported parts (phone, play food, light, faucet, electronic keypads and burner made in China)
  • Requires 8 – AA and 5 – AAA batteries (not included)

Here is my kids’ first reaction to the Step2 Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen. They are this way every day with this kitchen! It is priceless and so much fun!

I took this video to show you a walkthrough of the Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen. I am amazed at the little space this takes up and how much fun is jam packed in it!

What do I love about the Step2 Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen?

  • I love that it is very sturdy. It is not top heavy, like I had originally thought it might be.
  • Very easy to put together
  • I love the sound effects that each section makes (microwave, oven, stove, dishwasher)
  • I love that the Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen really doesn’t take up too much space. We have it in our entry way, which the kids call ‘play house’ and it is perfect in there!
  • If you want to move it to another room, you can easily slide it where you want it. We rotate the kids’ toys and shift rooms from time to time, so this is perfect!
  • The price of the Lifestyle Deluxe Kitchen is right around $219.00 retail. Do I think this is worth the price? You bet! I have seen smaller play kitchens that are not built this good go for far more than this.

I firmly believe that having toys in your home such as a play kitchen truly opens up your child’s personality, imagination, and let’s them be kids while having that fun pretend play.

Step2 is introducing a wide array of new kitchens covering a variety of price points, home décor styles and play pattern needs. Whether for boys or girls, experts like best-selling children’s cookbook author, Barbara Beery agree that having and using a play kitchen in a home builds imaginations and cultivates a love for cooking while helping to promote a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

    Geoff K says:

    One way I try to spark creativity and role play is to have the kids create stories out of their school lessons as much as possible, especially for history and social studies, which really lend themselves well. I also have tried to turn off the TV more and have the kids create their own “sitcoms” and stories and act them out, and they’re getting really involved in the process — “making” costumes, scripts, and performing for us and family friends who visit.

  47. 954
    Geoff K says:

    The Tower of Doom looks like another amazing toy from Step2 – my kids love fantasy and role-play, so it would be right up their alley. Luckily they also love cooking as well, so I’m excited for the chance to enter — thanks!

    We (me, my 8yo and 3 yo boys) take turns telling knock knock jokes in the car. We pretend play war games and somehow I always end up dying! My 3yo loves being the pizza delivery boy bringing imaginary treats to everyone in the house…plus he loves to eat a few treats too. My 3yo loves pulling a blanket over his head pretending to be a ghost. He also likes pulling the blankets over our head hiding from daddy saying “shhhhh, shhhhh” so no one will find us in his fort!

    Jenn @ FFP says:

    I get down on the floor with my kids and indulge in art and building. We color and draw together, build with blocks, mold clay and do out of the box crafts with my older kids. For example we take Pot Pals (flower pot animals and people) and we mix up all the pieces to create our own unique crazy creatures. When we color we make green dogs with stripes and we draw socks on monsters!

    Melissa O. says:

    I turn off the TV to spark creativity. It’s amazing what they can come up with without the tube on. I also give them scenarios to act out like I ask my 6 year old to be the teacher and my 3 year old to the student and see what they come up with.
