KidKraft's collection of retro kitchen toys is designed for aspiring young chefs and features a gender-neutral design style. This particular model is a vintage red kitchen, equipped with a faux refrigerator, a miniature stove and even a compact sink that is sold with a set of realistic dishes. Despite of its realistic aesthetic, this compact kitchen module is 100% safe and non-electric.
While kitchen set toys are traditionally marketed to a female demographic, KidKraft's range boasts a gender-inclusive design and lets all children experience the fun of a home-inspired product. The retro kitchen toy boasts a realistic design and is an item that can be passed down from generation to generation or shared among siblings of different ages.
