WHY WE LOVE IT

Toddlers are too young for their parent’s grill, but they can learn the basics with this three-in-one playset. With three different cooking methods, little chefs can cook kabobs on the grill, meats on the griddle, and veggies on the stovetop. Kids can further delve into imaginative cooking by using the spatula, which makes sizzling sounds with the press of a button. As toddlers play, they further their emotional development and strengthen their fine motor and social skills. When playtime is over, clean-up is a breeze as everything can go inside the grill.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

While the set includes 2 LR44 batteries for the spatula, parents must replace them when they are out of charge.
