Vertbaudet Kitchenette

We are rather partial to a play kitchen here at Bambino Goodies and this sweet Kichenette from Vertbaudet is just dandy. I was tipped off by a friend who has just bought one for her daughter. There is a little extra play-space in this kitchen as it has both a sink and hob. The back [...]

Chelsea Pretend Play Kitchen from GLTC

I’m a tad partial to pretend play kitchen’s and when one finally makes one into the house (the boyf has put his big foot down and said the bambino must wait till she’s three…killjoy…), I will probably play with it just as much! Until then it’s lusting research, and Great Little Trading Co (GLTC) have [...]

Wooden Toy Cleaning Set with Barrow

Natalie writes… I’m beginning to realise with pretend play toys that you really could go to town with creating a whole miniature life for your child.

Wooden All in One Kitchen Unit

Natalie writes… Ah…I’d almost forgotten about how much I love pretend play kitchens. The bambino does too and she tries to push other babies inside the oven at her playgroup…. Anyway!

Electronic Kitchen with 17 Piece Accessory Kit

Well my pretend play kitchens have stepped up a notch with this electronic version from Blooming Marvellous…. Now it’s a bit rustic kitchen looking for my tastes but what it lacks in style credentials, it certainly makes up for by being feature packed, and to be fair, it’s a pretend kitchen!

Pine Mini Kitchen with Sink & Cooker

At £105, this is one of the pricier cookers that I’ve looked at. Tell a lie, it IS the priciest cooker I’ve looked at…so far… Designed by a small family toymakers (it’s nice to know that we still have ‘toymakers’ and not just factories…), this is a pine cooker which has an enamel sink, mixer [...]
