#Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer Fiesta Favorites Kitchen

Fisher-Price Dora the Explorer Fiesta Favorites Kitchen

I m not sure what it is with toy kitchen sets, but kids love playing with them.  I m guessing it has something to do with the fact that kids like to emulate what their parents do.  When I saw the Fisher-Price Dora Kitchen, I knew immediately that my kids would enjoy it.

ACCESSORIES

The kitchen set comes with a pretty impressive amount of accessories.  Most of the items are plastic, but a couple of the pieces, like the tortilla, have a rubbery texture.  I found out that you can also buy a couple of extra sets of food that come with new recipe cards, that unlock more phrases.  Yes, this is a ploy to make more money, but for about $11 each, it s not a bad deal.

MISCELLANEOUS

The device that speaks phrases runs on three AA batteries that are included.  It has two volume settings and an off setting.

The back of the kitchen is open and has slots to hold extra recipe cards so you can keep everything together.

CONCLUSION

My daughters love the Fisher-Price Dora Fiesta Favorites Kitchen.  They make me burgers and eggs with it everyday and repeat phrases they learn from it.  Also, as the adult who builds all their toys, I appreciated how quick and easy it was to put together.  The build quality might not be the same as a $300 wooden play kitchen with a real stainless steel sink, but I m pretty sure my kids don t care.  If your child likes Dora the Explorer and playing pretend with toy kitchens, I m certain that they will enjoy this.
