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

September 25, 2009 By Tanya 1,000 Comments

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 #ixzz0OvgtK3O1 “>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 #ixzz0OvgtK3O1 “>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.

    My kids are into action heros. I was lucky enough to find several costumes last Halloween on clearance, so the costumes where cheap are used throughout the year here. My husband and I pretend these “action heros” visit our home and we often ask Spidey to do helpful things for us. Sometimes he even reveals to us who he really is lol!

    Here’s how we’re creative in the kitchen! My little man, Carson, is almost a year and a half old and with his daddy deployed to the Middle East, he’s become the man of the house. Carson helps me with laundry, cleaning, and cooking! Each morning, when I make his breakfast, I give Carson a similar utensil and a container to act as a pot or pan so he can cook along with me. Due to problems with his ears, Carson is delayed in communication and language skills, so our time in the kitchen doubles as learning time. While we cook, I make sure to tell him what we’re cooking, the names of the ingredients as we add them, and the names of the tools we use. Carson’s favorite part is when we taste our hard work! He also loves pushing the buttons and seeing and hearing what happens. He would have so much fun with a play kitchen of his own. Then he could cook just like me! His dad will be so proud of him when he gets home and sees his little man cooking.

    I’m not sure about role play, but my grandkids love to cook with me. They have their own set of plastic utentsils. I took them to Target and they picked out the whole line of Animal House kitchen tools, like the Toucan can opener, the Mouse cheese grater, woodpecker scissors, Parakeet Garlic Press etc. I have to admit I use then all the time too.

    My 2 year old and I role play with imagination all the time! She has a tool box that we go around fixing things with, just like her daddy (a carpenter) does. Then, we have tea parties, dress up like Cinderella and have dance recitals (just twirling to our own music). At night we make up stories, with her filling in the details as I add characters. She is so creative!

    The kids do alot of role playing on their own just playing and making up characters. They’ve loved coloring and drawing since before they could walk so we have tried to inspire creativity with a variety of art supplies. Markers, crayons, pencils, pastels, paints. You name it and they love it.

    OMG you have no idea how much I would love to win this! I’m planning on getting the kids one of these for Christmas! It would be perfect!
    I’m also interested in the LifeStyle™ Grand Walk-In Kitchen.
    Thanks so much for the AWESOME giveaway!

    We don’t have little ones in the house anymore. I would love to win this for my niece. But when our girls were little they loved to play dress up. We didn’t have a lot of money so they raided mine and my wife’s closet and my wife’s makeup. They would put on plays and skits. We encouraged them to read and make up their own stories.

    The Naturally Playful® Clubhouse Climber looks awesome. What kids wouldn’t love it.

    I am simply enamored with the Real Projects Workshop! I think I may have just found a Christmas present for my son!
