Last week I showed an earth-friendly kitchen play set from Plan Toys. I wanted to bring in a few more options though because there are so many cool green play kitchen sets out there. Above is the very bright and fun Daisy’s Kitchen Set from Djeco – made with wood and nontoxic paints and finishes. Available at Oompa Toys.

Then there’s the Eco-Friendly Wonderworld Cooking Center Play Kitchen Set below from Toys”R”Us. This kitchen is from Smart Gear, a newer eco line at Toys”R”Us. Smart Gear is a very cool brand, making eco-products a little more accessible to kids (i.e. at a large chain toy store). Off kitchen topic, they have a killer Eco-Friendly Wooden Doll House you might be interested in as well.

Next is a Play Cooker with Accessories from Kangaroo Boo – smaller for kids with less space, but still eco-friendly and fun.

Coming up – fun eco food for kitchen play!

When I was a kid, my favorite toy was my play kitchen set. Kids today aren’t much different; at least all the kids I’ve known adore playing with kitchen sets and pretend food. The cool deal now though is that we have lots of greener choices. My plan was actually to post 10 fun eco-friendly kitchen play sets. But then I got to thinking about the totally blinged out collection of kitchen play accessories offered by Plan Toys, and decided to show their sets first. I will, however, be back with more eco-kitchen play sets.

The Plan Toys Kitchen Center shown above is really fun. Not too complicated, but comes with just enough cool stuff to make any little drool. Plus, it’s a space saver. Instead of spreading out, the kitchen is two sided. One side has a cooking center and the other side has a sink for washing up. Included is an oven and dishwasher, along with shelving where a child can hang spatulas and store play food. Like all wooden Plan Toys, the entire set is made of natural, chemical free, recycled rubberwood and finished with non-toxic water based dye. You can get this kitchen set in pink as well, although I think it looks nicer in the red.

Two fun additional Plan Toy add-on sets include the Dishwasher Set and my favorite below, the Wooden Refrigerator. I like the dishwasher, but I ALWAYS wanted a fridge to go along with my play kitchen (never got one). I would have killed for this fridge though, it’s so slick. You turn the white knob on the fridge door and cute little wooden ice cubes flow out. I’m sorry, but that is way too cool. There’s also plenty of room for all sorts of pretend food items.

SEE the ice!!! That’s so much fun. Sigh. You know, I think parents have almost as much fun with play kitchens as the kiddos.
