Would You Buy A Boy A Toy Kitchen?

By Barbara Pietronudo

This was an interesting question posed in a group I belong to. My answer to this question is why not? Now this may go against some of those old mindsets that girls play with dolls, boys play with trucks and so on. Think about this. Do men cook? Do woman drive trucks? Do men help raise kids? Emerill certainly didn't become a famous chef because he thought kitchens were for girls. If you're little boy asks for a toy kitchen and you are a little uncomfortable about it, I would like to give you a little food for thought before you make your final decision.

The most important thing is both boys and girls love them. My daughter had a toy kitchen when she was younger and when my nephews would come over it was one of their favorite things to play with.

Dual roles in today's society

As most of you know there has been a big shift in the family structure in today's society. With many families having both parents working, it has become necessary for men to take on roles that in times past were thought only to be the woman's roles. It's not uncommon for a man to cook dinner for the kids and take on some of the cleaning and laundry tasks, while his wife is working. How about single men and divorced men? That's where my response to this question comes in. Why wouldn't you buy your boy a toy kitchen if he wants one?

Play Kitchens inspire creativity

Creative play has an important role in children's development. We should encourage our kids to use their imaginations. Kids seem to do this naturally. They put on capes and pretend they're a super hero. My kids use to set up camp in the house and pretend they were out in the woods camping. These types of activities are fun things that play an important role in our children's lives. With all the interactive gadgets and sounds found in toy kitchens now days, the sky is the limit when it comes to our kids imaginations.

Toy companies are manufacturing toy kitchens now that are geared to both genders. You can still buy cute frilly kitchens with flowers and such for your little girl. The good thing now is if you want to purchase a toy kitchen that you feel more comfortable with for your boy there are plenty of nice ones on the market.
