Play kitchens under £40 for 2 year olds
Most 2 year old children love play kitchens. They love watching what goes on in the household and mimicking this as part of their play.
Play kitchens sound expensive, but they don’t have to break the bank. We’ve found some great budget play kitchens for under £50 – and some for as little as £15!
Cheaper play kitchens tend to be this price because they are slightly less sturdy than more expensive ones. They tend to be made from plastic, whereas wooden play kitchens are more expensive – this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because plastic play kitchens are easy to clean and come in a range of colours. Cheaper play kitchens may also have less accessories, although the play kitchens featured here include everything a 2 year old needs to have lots of fun.
Although play kitchens are great for 2 year olds, nearly all of them are “not recommended for children under 36 months”. We only recommend play kitchens that are actually approved for 2 year old children.
