Kitchen Set
Mishika loves to spend time for hours cooking food for her dolls as well as for us while playing with the kitchen set. She makes up fun stories while cooking which I absolutely love listening to and recently I have noticed that she tries to mimic everything that I make in the kitchen! I bought her this kidcraft vintage kitchen set in pink (linked below) when she had turned one year old. This set also comes in ” target=”_blank”>white and blue which is a new color. Kitchen sets are a big hit with young boys too. Linking some amazing kitchen set finds with great reviews that you can buy.
Dancing Mat
I had bought this dancing mat for Mishika when she had just started to walk. Initially, it was fun to listen to the music as she stepped on the different keys. Today this dancing mat is her favorite place to sit and play with her toys, also whenever I exercise on my yoga mat, she thinks her dancing mat is her yoga mat for exercising :). They are so convenient to roll and carry in your backyard for a summer picnic fun! Sharing some dancing mats with some good reviews below.
Doll House
A dollhouse is a girl's best treasure that she can keep with her forever. I still have my dollhouse form my childhood and I absolutely treasure it. When it came to buying a good dollhouse for my daughter, I wanted to get her something that she could play as she grows, so I ended up getting a big dollhouse for her which she can play in for many years to come. This dollhouse is big and takes up a lot of space in our room, so if you are looking for smaller dollhouse options, I am liking them below.
Also a few weeks back I got her this cozy deer house from Enchantimals which is a big hit. It's small compact and she already has names for her doll and puppy that she loves playing with.
Tunnel
We have this 6-foot indoor crawl tunnel which is a great way to get some activity. My daughter loves crawling in it and playing peek-a-boo with her toys. Also, they come in a super cute carry bag that you can easily pack and carry along at your camping trips or any other destination.
Double-Sided chalkboard
Almost a year back I had bought this double-sided chalkboard for Mishika. The first thing that I really liked about this chalkboard was that it came with adjustable legs and so could be of use to her even when she grows older. These days while we are all at home, the chalkboard has been coming in very handy to teach Mishika letters and numbers as well as she likes to pretend to play with her dolls as a teacher. There are many interactive boards available. Some good options are.
Doll Collection Set
What is a dollhouse without a beautiful set of family to play with? Along with the above doll set I had bought this sweet Beverly Hill doll set collection which is a family of nine with twins. They are Mishika's favorite people to play with and she spends hours reading storybooks to the babies, making dinner for them and playing with them. It's so cute! I have listed a few doll sets that your kids will love playing with.
Basketball Set
Easy score basketball set is a must-have for every parent. They are fun and can keep your little one engaged for long. Due to the cold weather here, we usually keep our basketball set indoors but it is a great engaging toy to have it in your backyard. Mishika always has a lot of fun throwing the balls in the basket and when she is outside she loves running along with the ball. A great activity for kids! We have this Little Tikes easy score basketball set in blue which also comes in pink here. Some other great options are.
Building Block Set
Building blocks are so much fun and great learning toy for early childhood development. There are many varieties of building block sets available out there to choose from. We have the first builders building bag set which came in a cute bag filled with many colorful pieces. As much as Mishika, even I enjoy making fun new structures with them. Some other great options are.
Doctor Set
I am sure doctor set is every kid's favorite toy. It's fascinating to see how kids try and enact everything that they see in their daily lives. This doctor set has always been Mishika's favorite toy and she loves treating her dolls boo-boo with it all the time :).
Pretend and Play Chef
Lastly, we have a ton of kitchen set accessories at our home that we have collected over a period of time. Starting with this Kidcraft cookware set that I had ordered with Mishika along with her kitchen set, followed by this tasty treat food set to cook with. Sharing some fun options below.
