Editorial Review

This pretend kitchen is a wonderful toy to keep toddlers occupied while you're trying to cook dinner. And, for those who are short on kitchen space, this kitchen playset sets up into a full-size kid's kitchen and then folds flat to store in a closet when playtime is done. The play kitchen features an oven and refrigerator that really open and a two-burner stove with dials that make cooking sound effects, such as sizzling or bubbling, when turned. The set comes with 18 different accessories, including a phone, a covered pot, a pan, two plates, two glasses, two forks, two spoons, a spatula, a serving spoon, a salt shaker, and several fake food items--a fried egg, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. At first glance, assembly looks daunting, but well-diagramed instructions make setup fairly easy. This playset requires three AA batteries to power the sound effects. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

Disappointing - not what I expected from Fisher Price
The oven door does not stay shut on the one I bought - I should have checked the reviews first, but thought Fisher Price quality was reliable and consistent. Apparently not any more. : (
I didn't even show this to my granddaughter, and am returning it to Amazon. I'll look for another one made by another company, but this time will check the reviews first.
Also, a little piece of bad design: the shelf in the oven is too high to put in the (included) casserole with the lid on.

Can't keep my daughter away from it!
We decided to buy this particular kitchen because it is foldable, makes sounds and has every essential a real kitchen has.Our daughter who is 17 months just loves it.We have NOT had any problems with it.As far as the oven and fridge door not staying shut (commented by other reveiws), ours does.In fact I think it's a little hard for my daughter to open and close.Which is fine because then she doesn't have all the excessories out at once!This is the first toy my daughter runs to when she wakes up in the morning.Definately worth $49.

Great for Grandma's House!
I bought this a year ago when all three of my grandchildren were coming to visit for 10 days.(The twins(boy & girl)were 22 months and the other girl 19 months.)Of everything I had, this is what they played with ... almost constantly!Since then they have all come to visit again and it's still the hit!The littlest (now 2 1/2) has stayed at my house for the past few months and this is still the thing she goes back to over and over again!I bought this figuring when the grandkids are away it folds up and is easy to store!Now that my granddaughter is moving to her new house (along with mommy & daddy)...her mommy wants to take it with them!I thought they would want a bigger & sturdier one when it came to one just for her but no....this is the one!Think we'll be buying another! ...

Every child should have a tea set somewhere in the toy box, not just forfeeding favorite dollies and teddies, but also for practicing tea-party manners before aspecial party or dinner. This molded plastic set is made with the thoughtful design andextra-durable materials of most Fisher-Price toys, with the added bonus of a jolly musicalteapot. It plays "I'm a Little Teapot" when the top of the lid is pressed, and also providesa "magical" chiming noise when the pot is poured (requires two button-cell batteries;included). The set includes four teacups in pastel shades, matching saucers, a sugar bowl,a creamer, and four white spoons. Everything fits onto a sturdy lavender tray with largehandles and a built-in stand for the teapot. --Marcie Bovetz ... Read more

Disappointing
I was so excited to purchase this toy as a Christmas gift for my daughter.Once the toy was opened we pulled out the little plastic battery-saver tag and... nothing.No sound.Checked batteries and they are fine.Called Fisher Price and they do not supply replacement parts for this item.Unfortunately, I no longer have the receipt for this item.Wal Mart says they do even exchanges, only they are not carrying the item any longer.Hmmm, I wonder why.So, we have a plastic tea set that makes no noise.Otherwise, looks sturdy enough.My advice would be TO CHECK FOR SOUND BEFORE YOU PURCHASE!

Cute...but loud!!!
We recently gave this to our daughter for her 2nd birthday.It is very durable..the tea pot is too loud but still a cute tea set.Don't think we will replace the battery in this...too bad they didn't put an on/off or vol. control.I would buy it again but as a gift in someone else house!!!
Cute your little one will like it!!!

A Big Christmas Day Hit!
My 21 month old daughter got this as a Christmas gift this year, and she just loves it. It is an adorable toy- It comes with a tea tray, teapot, 4 cups, saucers, and spoons, a sugar bowl and a creamer. The cups and saucers are different pastel colors and each saucer has a design on it (butterfly, heart etc). Although I don't think it really needs this feature to be a fun toy, the teapot plays music and makes a little ringing sound when you "pour" the tea. It looks to be very sturdy, and I'm sure we will get hours and hours of fun out of the set. Of all the Christmas my daughter opened yesterday, this was one toy that kept her attention, and we are happy to say it makes a wonderful addition to her toddler kitchen and play food collection. Good job, Fisher-Price- this one is a big winner in my house! ... Read more

Budding young pastry chefs can get some early training in the culinary arts with this pretend kitchen. Kids can make, bake, and decorate toy goodies in this workstation, which includes a refrigerator, overhead pantry, and side storage for ingredients; a stovetop with burners and knobs and an oven for cooking treats; and a sink for cleaning up. The magic oven appears to actually "bake" the seven different sweets that come with the kitchen by changing their color when "cooked." Kids can refer to the built-in cookbook to see what treats should look like before and after baking. An icing bag with a soft tip lets kids decorate their masterpieces after they come out of the oven. Other vital kitchen accessories in the set include a mixing bowl, a baking dish, two serving plates, a potholder, a pitcher, two water goblets, a spatula, a fork, a spoon, a whisk, a cake stand, four cake toppers, cake mix, a milk carton, an egg, and a phone. The oven operates on three D batteries (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

We love our Sweet Magic Kitchen!
My daughter loves her kitchen. We got it for her this last Christmas just a couple months after her having turned 2. I decided to get it when I saw it on sale at KMart for $35 compared to the $90 I could get it for at my local ToysRUs. My husband put it together and says it wasn't too bad to put together. There were a few things he didn't like, but it still went together and is sturdy.My daughter is still a little short for it, but she has so much fun. It's light and easy to move, so I can move it into the kitchen and she can cook with me - which she loves! She has stood and sat on the over door numerous times without any breaks at all. It doesn't stay closed very easily, but she doesn't care and she's figured out the knack for keeping it closed. The only time the ice tray leaks as the ice is melting is when I over-fill it. My solution is to fill it about 2/3 full and let it sit on the counter on a towel for 10 minutes or so to make sure any excess water drips out before being frozen to the inside of the tube areas which is where I also found leaks coming from. We use rechargable batteries and have had no problems what so ever with the batteries or music.

Over all, this is a great kitchen and I love the price I found on it. I probably would not have paid the full price for it because I hardly ever pay full price for anything. My friends kids love it as well. Our Sweet Magic Kitchen is a huge hit and I'm very glad we bought it.

Favorite toy in our household
Haven't had any of the problems described in the other reviews. Specifically the oven door stays shut, music still plays, and accessories and kitchen look great. If you children are into baking sweet things, haven't seen a cuter small kitchen out there.

Better than I expected!
I'd been looking for a kitchen for my two year old, and found this one on clearance for $35 (kmart). It's a little cuter (read: pinker) than what I wanted, but at that price I didn't really care. The ones we were looking at were in the $100+ price range.
Before we put it together, I checked out the reviews here, and almost took it back to the store without even opening it. We decided to give it a try, though, and put it together anyway. It went together pretty quickly, and my daughter has been playing with it for about a month now without anything breaking. Actually, the reason I thought about writing this review is because I just looked over and saw her standing on the oven door, and it didn't break (Which I completely expected it to do the first time she did that.) My daughter never saw any commercials for it, so she doesn't know about the color change feature, and after reading the reviews about the water dripping as it melted, I wasn't in any hurry to try it out. It's fun without that, though. She likes to "cook" her cookies, then use the pot holder to take them out and put them in the fridge to cool off (like we do with her food when it's too hot!)
I probably wouldn't be as happy with this kitchen if I'd paid full price for it, but at $35 I think it was a good deal. ... Read more

PERFECT FOR 3 YEAR OLDS!!!
I justbought this kitchen for my three year old daughter and she loves it, but the best part about it is when she is done playing I can store it away in the closet or cabinets, ect. ect. unlike the huge child size kitchens that take up so much space. It is a perfect size for her american girl doll and Barbie kelly baby doll.works great for us and I just went today and bought the washer dryer combo and the food sets. We love it!

fun in a small space
This is the perfect size kitchen for play houses and tents!My 3 and 6 yr olds love it because they can sit on the floor of their "house" and fix anything their little hearts desire!So cute and comes with the perfect amount of accessories--very portable, my 3 yr old can carry it outside!LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! ...
