MoMa portable play stove

A packable, portable mini kitchen play set for small spaces. Can you smell the Play-Doh burgers already?

If you're looking for the "to go" version of a kitchen play set  or one to suit a smaller space, we think you'll love this adorable toy set that packs into itself for easy transport. Pull it out for all the pretend pancake flipping you can handle, then slide it right back under the bed. Yeah, I wish I could do that with my real stove. The Mini Stove Top Play Set available at the MoMA Store has beautiful, gender-neutral design and just enough details to make it fun without being twee. With a pot, a skillet, two utensils, and a timer, kids starting about age three can cook dinner on the floor while you make actual food. Best of all, you don't have to stare at it all the time in the middle of your living room. Small as it is, I think those Play-Doh pancakes and spaghetti will still come out just as delicious. Find the Mini Stove Top kitchen play set at the MoMA Store. Shipping is $6.95, and there's a $4 discount for museum members. [h/t Swiss Miss]
