Cooking & Kitchen Toys & Pretend Play

Compliments to the chef

Kids love to pretend that they are cooking and running their own kitchen. With the help of cooking and kitchen toys from Staples, kids can have hours of fun playing with realistic play food, dishes, and toy appliances. Whether you are looking for something to spark their imagination or encourage them to explore the culinary world around them, our selection of cooking toys has something for everyone. Cooking and kitchen toys let children explore different roles, like being a chef, server or manager running a restaurant. Playing with these types of toys helps promote cooperative play and language skills as they communicate with each other while engaging in pretend play. They can use these toys to create their own stories that involve serving meals to friends and family or play holding conversations over an imaginary dinner.
