I want to purchase a nice toy kitchen for my younger kids for Christmas. I need it to be moderately priced and I would prefer wood-hopefully made in America(I know that this might not be possible.)

If anyone would like to voice their opinions on this I would really appreciate it.

we made one for our kids.
out of an old bookshelf.

I got the idea from a Family Fum Mag.

it is just a two shelf bookshelf. dh cut a hole in one side of the top. I then glued in a small purchased metal bowl for the sink. DH then made a faucet out of wood.
on the opposite side from the sink, I used two old CDs to make the stove top. and two store bought wooden knob that I painted for the control knobs.

I painted flowers on the sides. I purchased two tubs to store the dishes and food in. I also sewed a curtain for the front, and hung it on a tension rod. I also put hooks on the side for the dish towels and aprons (that I sewed to match the curtain).

we have had it now for 5 yrs and it is holding up very well.

We also plan on making a brabie doll house like this. out of another old three shlef book shelf.

my sister said that Target had a nice looking wooden one for not too much. kind of like pottery barn type...

hope this helps.

Joann,
I bought this wooden toy kitchen by Little Colorado after recommendations from this thread I started a while back...Good luck! I love our kitchen, btw, and $136 is very cheap for such a well-made play kitchen-- and am going to get the refrigerator for my 2 year old's birthday (she turns 3 in a few weeks!!).

We have this kitchen from Target. We got it after last Christmas on super sale ($60) It has held up very well to fairly rough play.
