This multifunctional pretend kitchen unit comes with a sink, hob, hotplate and oven and includes fun sound effects and talking phrases to enhance role play. The kitchen’s best feature, in my opinion, is that it cleverly folds away into a compact carry case.

I am seriously thinking of getting rid of my daughter’s current kitchen and swapping it for this one. The brilliance of the fold away feature means a lot less space taken up in her room. The set also comes with over twenty accessories to help little one’s cook up their favourite meals.

You also get batteries and a chef’s apron included in the pack. I am awash with glee. Hopefully you’re in the market for one of these, or perhaps you need a brilliant gift, as this is a complete winner in my book.
