Pop-Oh-Ver supplied us with their products free of charge for us to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
When my wife was a little girl her mother had someone build her a play kitchen. It is a large item that lives in our living room and has provided our children with hours and hours of imaginative play for many years. It is something that one of the kids will either pass on to their own or it will live on at our home when we become (gulp) Grandparents. That is something a very long way off. Who knows, we may give it to one of the kids and move to a smaller place where we won’t have as much room for a giant play kitchen. So, having the Pop-Oh-Ver Stove Set would be perfect to have the grandkids over and let them have some imaginative play time. All we would need is a kitchen chair and lots of childhood imagination.
I think I may be getting way ahead of my self here. This Pop-Oh-Ver Stove Set would be more perfect for my parents to have at their house so when their grandkids come over they can play in a play kitchen that can easily be packed up and put away. All you need is imagination and a chair. the Pop Oh Ver Stove Set easily slips over a kitchen chair and then you have a play stove with 4 burner stovetop. The “stove” and “microwave” actually open and close using heavy magnets and there are thick plastic envelopes inside both for your child to place the play food for “cooking.” There are also special pockets on either side of the stove for additional accessories. We received three great sets from Pop-Oh-Ver. There was the Stove PlaySet, the 12-Piece Pots N Pan Set and the 12-Piece Pretend Food set. Kids will feel like grown-ups using the same accessories as mom or dad. This set comes with a whisk, spatula, strainer spoon, ladle, wooden spoon, dutch oven with lid, saucepan, skillet (made of molded plastic), bowl, colander, and an oven mitt. The size of the pots, pans and utensils are larger than most sets, but still light enough for small hands to use.
No kid can resist the urge to pretend bake or cook something if they see the Stove Playset. This is a gender neutral toy and my son is the one who as been begging to play with it. If you have the Counter PlaySet and a second chair then you are working with a full kitchen to do cooking and baking as well as prep-work. Look forward to many dishes of bacon and eggs or hot dogs and so much more. Kids love playing pretend and having the opportunity to do so with simple toys boosts that imaginative play factor. the nice thing about these sets is that they are affordable and have some great items included. The Pots and Pans set has real metal pots and pans for under $20. Compare that to other pretend food and accessories from other brands and Pop-Oh-Ver is a no-brainer for affordability and quality. These are solid items. Also the pretend food has some weight to it. These aren’t just flat felt pieces. The bacon is thick cut and even the egg has a nicely raised Sunny Side Up yolk.
The National Parenting Center called them ingenious! This is from a nationwide parent advocacy organization that has seen and tested every possible toy on the market, for decades! Pop-Oh-Ver has already won eight additional industry awards for its great design this year. If I were a grandparent I’d head to the Pop-Oh-Ver page and purchase some of these toys. They are having a really nice sale right now and you can pick up these high quality playsets for great prices.
