Step 2 Fresh Market Kitchen Review and GIVEAWAY! {Here Comes Santa}

Monday, November 30, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom

Last Christmas, we bought Lucas the Step 2 Lifestyle Kitchen as his big present and it was a huge hit! It has provided so many countless hours of fun, pretend playtime for Lucas and honestly--for me as well. In my opinion, every child--boys and girls--should have a play kitchen. They provide children with a creative outlet and a way for kids to model mom and dad. Not to mention all of the learning opportunities to be had! Learning about food, measurements, cooking, counting, colors, and so much more! Recently, I had the opportunity to try out a brand new kitchen to the Step 2 line up--the Fresh Market Kitchen and it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!



The Fresh Market Kitchen is not just a kitchen. It is a full service kitchen, a market, and a dining area, which provides children with 360-degree play! The kitchen, like all Step 2 kitchens is extremely detailed and very realistic. It has a stainless steel refrigerator, oven and microwave, a large sink area, a "cutting board" area, and a stove top. The refrigerator, oven and microwave provide lots of pretend play opportunities and acts as storage for all of the pots, pans, and food. The stove top burners are awesome--not only do they look really cool, but when you turn the knobs--they sizzle, make boiling sounds, and light up. One of the coolest things about the look of the kitchen is the copper range hood, which has an actual working light. It just takes the kitchen to a whole other level design wise. So modern and so realistic!



On the other side of the kitchen is a countertop eating area where you can place a couple of stools for kids to "eat" all of the food they just "cooked". So cute! Now to my favorite part of the Fresh Market Kitchen--the market area! The Market has a see-thru baker's display case that provides lots of storage for food items and it looks just like something you would see in a real bakery! I plan on making Lucas a bunch of felt sweet treats to fill up his bakery--I can't wait! If you're going to have a market, then you also have to have a cash register. Of course, Step 2 would not skip that so there is a working register that really calculates and it has a scanner that lights up and beeps like a real scanner! The Market area also has loads of shelving and produce bins. This kitchen has some serious storage space, which I really welcome and appreciate. Plus, it even comes with a reusable, eco friendly grocery tote so kids can learn about conservation and living waste-free right from the start--gotta love that!



The Fresh Market Kitchen comes with a 47-piece accessory set, which includes 2 place settings, pot & pan, stainless steel utensils & strainer, salt & pepper shakers, 20-piece play food assortment, and cash register with credit card and key.



I honestly could not believe my eyes when I saw it all put together. My first thought--"I wish I was a kid again!" This is one of the coolest kitchens around and would make a more than fabulous gift this holiday season!

See It In Action:




Also, Step 2 is running a really wonderful contest right now that you should check out!To celebrate creativity in the kitchen for both parents and kids, Step2 is announcing a national contest that will award one grand-prize of a new dream kitchen suite from Frigidaire, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, over the counter microwave, and oven, as well as a new Step2 toy kitchen of their choice.
