For a wonderful resource on kitchen accessories, I highly recommend this set from Battat Toys; we have used the items from this set almost daily for almost a year and are so very pleased with it. I did a LOT of research before choosing dishware for the play kitchen, as I needed something which was both affordable, would last a long while (good quality), was food safe and BPA free….also, the cups and kettle had to hold water without leaking.
🍳As you can tell from my description above, I had a very specific criteria to meet, and this kitchen set fit them all; in fact, the dishes and utensils often make their way to our kitchen table, as the kids love to use the accessories with real food and water….EG especially likes to use the kettle for tea. 🍳
The kids bring pieces of their kitchen set everywhere they go; we have found that this dishware is a great way to keep the kiddos occupied on road trips and is such a great addition to our outdoor adventures. 🍽
When exploring or visiting outdoor locations, this set acts as a portable outdoor mud kitchen of sorts! Dirt, leaves, wildflowers, rocks; just about anything can turn into a special outdoor play meal!🥬🍃🥄😋
Below, you can see a picture of NT using our set on one of his outdoor adventures (he took parts of the Battat set with him on a Father-Son tent camping trip):

Yes, it has 71 pieces total in the set…this is why I refer to it as a complete set, because adding anything more is entirely optional. This plentiful set by itself is more enough to make for hours of independent, open-ended play! Although, if you are looking for some inspiration for easy, DIY food items for the play kitchen, please check our DIY Play Kitchen Foods, here! 😊👩🍳🍃🍅🍳
I hope this post might be helpful to those of you who may be on the lookout for a durable kitchen set for your children’s playtime….and, hopefully save you the hours of research I did before deciding on purchasing our set! 😄 Most of all, no matter what what play kitchen set(s) you use, I hope that you and your children enjoy making many happy memories of playing in the play kitchen together! 🍳
