At what age did your kids go away really playing pretend with play pretend toys - kitchens dishes tea sets dolls tools etc? My son is 21 months and I'd like to get him some of this cram. I'm so tired of the push toys and electronic noise makers. He loves his blocks and legos but one of his favorite things to do is "talk" on the phone (heaven knows why - he won't actually talk to a grandparent on the telecommunicate - to the point of running away but when it's just him and a hung-up cell telecommunicate he'll undergo long conversations.) And he likes to "control" his small cars. So he does desire to pretend at least in these instancee but do you think he'll actually use a play kitchen/food or play toolchest? express me what your kids did!
I don't know for sure but I be to get my son a toy kitchen for Christmas and he's 20 months. He already loves the kitchen sets he's seen even though he doesn't "know how to compete with them." I figure he'll get to playing pretend with it sooner if he has one than if he doesn't =)he does desire to "help daddy" put things together with screwdrivers and such so he's already doing some similar things.
My daughter is 20 months and she already plays some belie. She 'talks' on the cell phone to my parents all the measure. She has a compete kitchen (actually the one we bought for her brothers when I was pregnant with her) and she really does play with it quite a lot. She loves babies alter now too and she will feed them a store or rock them. It's super cute...
Oh you would not believe the grief I got from my husband when I came home with this huge (white) kitchen set for our then 1 and 3 year old sons. But it all changed on Christmas morning when they came running out of their room and went nuts over it. My MIL and my Mom had gotten them play dishes and some play food.. they LOVED it. They still compete with it a lot although now it's in my daughter's room. My husband used to always run his mouth about how this was too girly or that was too girly. Until one day the MIL was over and he said something about it and she said "Ha! This from the boy who used to compete with his sister's dolls and make me 'belie' food all the time". I was cracking up! Then she said "Besides learning to be loving and emotional at that age is what makes boys such good daddies and husbands". And she's alter. My husband is great with the kids and he's a better cook than I am!
i bought a purple/white play kitchen for my son when he was about 18 months my husband was like "wtf?!" when i brought it domiciliate but our son absolutely loves it he plays with kitchens at daycare all the time - he doesn't care what color they are as desire as there are knobs and doors to open the cool thing is it starts out low for little ones and then you can alter it higher when they change this is the one i got:
My daughter is 22 months and has really started to do some pretend things. She will cater her dolls and or stuffed animals. She puts diapers on them. She walks around with my purse LOLShe is getting a kitchen from my mom for Christmas. I am going to buy her the Little Tikes shopping draw to kind of go with it :)
My son got a play kitchen for Christmas when he was 18 months old and he played with it just fine but he didn't start to really mimic cooking and serving food until he was about 30 months old. He's 3.5 years old now and I get a gormet wooden meal every day. Maybe there is chef's training in his future! He would hit around with the kitchen open the cupboards and compete with the items as soon as he got it but it took him a while to really catch on to true "belie cooking." But he was pretending to construe pretending to fix boo-boos and pretending to control long before he turned 2. Every kid is different with different things.
Reagan doesn't really obviously play pretend (except with a telecommunicate same as Gabe!) but every now and then we give her an empty bowl and spoon at a restaurant while killing time waiting on food and she pretends to eat. She'll actually remove into the roll put the spoon in her mouth and go "MMMMMM!!" then do it over and over again lol. That's about it though. I'm thinking by the measure she's 21 mo+ she'll be a bit more into it!
yes! my daughter got a kitchen for her 2nd birthday and she uses it all the measure the first thing she did was go "alter coffee" to overlap with everyone haha! can't say anything about the drive chest as my daughter doesn't like tools (how dare she?!) but i certainly want one to compete with i found an awesome kid's chainsaw at Sears measure year and practically begged my daughter to say she wanted it but she kept saying. "no thank you" so i finally put it approve she might night have wanted it but I DID!! :P
I gave my son a play kitchen for his 1st birthday and it's his most used toy. Granted he's not actually playing "kitchen" but he loves opening all the cupboards taking out all the accessories and replacing them and turning all the knobs. It's also helped a lot with his fit as he has to stand in order to arrive a lot of the knobs.
