My son is three and his imagination is growing everyday. I love toys that allow him to pretend and learn while having fun. Step2 understands the power and importance of pretend play, and works hard to make sure all their products are fun and educational!
The Step2 Welcome Home Kitchen is a perfect addition to our home due to it’s unique features, smaller size, and easy assembly!
The Step2 Lifestyle Welcome Home Kitchen is one of many different options when it comes to picking the perfect play kitchen for your family. I liked the Welcome Home Kitchen for it’s smaller size, allowing it to fit into our playroom with out over crowding anything.

My Review
Unlike some other Step2 Products this assembly on this kitchen was crazy simple!
I was able to have it put together from start to finish in less than 20 minutes. As with any other Step2 product I do recommend carefully using a power screwdriver, otherwise your hand could get pretty tired. There were very few screws in the Step2 Lifestyle Welcome Home Kitchen, so it was put together pretty quickly!
My son loves playing with this kitchen. He loves cooking food for whomever will entertain him at the time. The first thing he cooked for me was carrots, pancakes, and hot tea! I love how he comes up with his meals, and watching the interesting ways he chooses to incorporate his other toys… Bet you didn’t know cars could cook!
I also love that there is a play phone in his kitchen. I love listening to the pretend conversations he has with his friends. It is really cute to watch.
The only thing I wish I had known prior to assembling it was there is no play food that comes with this kitchen. That is a separate purchase, but something we can easily add as well as more plates, silverware, or other Step2 accessories.
