Foody Friends Collection Highlight
What’s one part activity center, one part toddler kitchen, all disguised as a cute animal pal? The KidKraft Foody Friends collection! These space-saving toddler play kitchens sets are just right for your tiniest sous-chef!
We’ll start with the obvious: cute animals and bright colors! Each Foody Friends Activity Center is designed to look like a fun, cuddly animal. With a choice between a unicorn, a puppy, or an elephant, there’s a Foody Friend for every toddler out there.
Pretend play for young toddlers usually means role-playing tasks they see in everyday life, so a play kitchen is a perfect toy to encourage dramatic and pretend play. The brain-boosting activities on the Foody Friends centers also help develop fine motor skills as toddlers work their way through slide mazes.
Why Kids Love It
Next, the activities. Depending on the Foody Friend you select, toddlers can guide figurines through tracing mazes or spin and slide pretend cookie dough shapes along “wire” arches. Even opening and closing oven doors and turning knobs is a fun “busy” activity for young toddlers.
And of course, there’s the play kitchen aspect. Unlike larger kids’ kitchen playset, Foody Friends keep everything within young toddlers’ reach, and the counter/ sink/ stovetop area is at just the right height. They’ll love feeling independent and “big” in a play kitchen that’s just their size! Plenty of cooking tools and food accessories will keep them engaged and cook up a storm. Here’s the fun that comes with each Foody Friend:
Baking Fun Unicorn
The Baking Fun Unicorn is all about making sweet treats including cupcakes, cookies, and a three-tiered cake with a hidden shape sorter inside. To make all that baking magic happen, they’ll get tools like a baking sheet, rolling pin, spoon, “unicorn ear” oven mitts, and a star-shaped cookie cutter. They’ll also get some raw ingredients to work with like pretend cookie dough, milk, chocolate, and sprinkles, so they can act out every step of the baking process.
Cooking Fun Elephant
Your little one can make a full breakfast of eggs, toast, and orange juice with the Cooking Fun Elephant. Then for snack time, they can really “pop” some stovetop popcorn or nibble on some cheese. For dinner, it’s chicken drumsticks, carrots, and corn. A plate, cup, utensils, spatula, and oven mitts (which double as elephant ears!) let them serve everything up!
Why Parents Love It
Sturdy wood construction means these play kitchens can stand up to even the roughest toddler treatment, but no need to worry about hard wooden corners. Foody Friends are made with wobbly toddlers in mind and feature rounded corners, so they’re safe for little ones who are just starting to pull up, stand, and walk on their own. With ample easy-to-reach storage, it’s easy to keep all of those accessories contained, and your little one can even pitch in during clean-up time!
