Largest Play Kitchens
I’ve been looking for a large play kitchen for my niece for a while now. She’s five years old and really enjoys the kitchen in the house. Her grandfather (my brother) is a chef and she’s fascinated when he’s preparing food. She wants to cook along with him, but it can be too dangerous. I wanted to get her a play kitchen that’s realistic enough for her to feel like she’s cooking right alongside Grandpa.
I found a few large toy kitchens on my hunt for a good one, but they all seemed either flimsy, too wooden (splinters in tiny fingers make big tears!), or too sexist (all in pink and flowery). I want her to be able to move around freely in her play kitchen and give her a realistic experience short of hooking up a working stove.
The large play kitchens below would be great choices for the young budding chefs in your family. They are well made and offer a great sense of play and fun.

The KidKraft Play Kitchen With Lights and Sounds is a nice sized and sturdy toy kitchen. The burners light up and give a realistic feel.
The KidKraft Large Kitchen is another fine choice. It's well made and the attention to detail is wonderful. The pastels aren't too overwhelming, so if you have a young boy who likes to cook, this is a good one.
The KidKraft Uptown Espresso Kitchen is a fashionable play kitchen. It has the look of a fancy uptown apartment kitchen.
The KidKraft Grand Gourmet Kitchen is a nice change from the other models. It fits neatly into a corner and offers your little one more space to move around in their "kitchen" area.
KidKraft Deluxe Big & Bright Kitchen offers a great deal of storage. The pots and pans can easily be put away to reduce clutter.
By this point you might be thinking that I own stock in KidKraft! It's just that, of all the large play kitchens I researched (and I checked a LOT of sizes), these are the ones that are sturdy enough to handle a child's play, creative looking enough to foster their imagination, and big enough to give them the sense that they are really cooking in the kitchen.
