Toddler Play Kitchen from One Step Ahead
For somebody who is into the idea of simplifying the holidays, I admit I get pretty excited about Christmas gifts. Not so much the getting as the giving. I love the delight in the kids’ eyes as they rush into the living room on Christmas morning, and the excitement on their faces as they open a few well-chosen presents.
To me, the “well-chosen” part is key. For years we’ve stuck to a general rule of 3-4 presents per kid, including the “big” gift. Since we don’t buy a ton of stuff, every gift counts. And it can be a challenge to find a few really special things that the kids will be thrilled to find under the tree and that we can afford.
That’s why I’m thrilled that Clara is going to find the Toddler Wood Play Kitchen from One Step Ahead as her “from Santa” gift on Christmas morning! I love simple wooden toys for little ones, and this sturdy and scaled-down play kitchen with cooktop, sink, and oven is specially made for kids as young as two.
I love that it’s just Clara’s size, won’t take up much space in her room, and looks adorable. I also appreciate that it doesn’t require batteries or make noise. Plus, at $69.95, it’s a lot more affordable than some other wooden play kitchens I’ve seen, and there are some adorable accessories you can add to the set with in the future, like this toaster.
I started scouring the One Step Ahead catalog years before I even had children, so I was very excited to partner with the company on this great giveaway. They very generously sent me Clara’s kitchen, and are going to send a kitchen to one of your little ones, too! Here’s how to enter:

My little Oliver would loooooove this!
Just what I was looking! If I don’t win I know what I’ll be buying for Christmas.
What a beautifully simple set!
Would to get this for my neice!!
I would love to find one of these under our tree for my foster kiddos!
My oldest son loves helping me in the kitchen and this would be perfect for him to share with his brother (who is just starting to help in the kitchen) especially since who bought him a couple of wooden food playsets for Christmas. With a girl on the way we can’t go wrong!
Love love love the play kitchen~
My little girl would love this kitchen for Christmas! Thanks for the chance to win!
My brother is building a play kitchen for my little one, but it would be wonderful to be able to win this to donate to one of the less fortunate in our community this holiday season!
A huge fan of One Step Ahead — they’ve always got great products! Thanks for the chance to win an awesome play kitchen! 🙂
My two daughters would love this and the size looks perfect for my tiny home.
Cute! This would be perfect for my 18-month old.
Nothing like a give away to get the lurkers to comment :). We’re hoping to get our 2 1/2 daughter a play kitchen this Christmas. She loves to help in the kitchen, and it would be fun for her to stir up some block soup on her own little stove. Keep up the good work with your blog!
That kitchen looks awesome. My little guy would have a ton of fun with it.
My sons love a play kitchen. This would make this an all wooden toy Christmas for him. 🙂
Adorable!
Gasp of joy! I’ve wanted to get my 19 month old a kitchen for a while, because she loves her cousin’s, but they’re so expensive normally. If I don’t win this one I’ll definitely have to look into the company! 🙂
And, I tweeted about the giveaway!
My kids would love this!
Cute! & simple! Love it!
OMG… I am so EXCITED that I saw this one Facebook. We want to get our two year old a kitchen from Santa, too, but we just bought a house and were worried about being able to afford a wooden one. This one is PERFECT and still affordable… even if I don’t win. But, if I do win it will be the first time I have one anything and I might fall out of my chair and piddle my pants!!! Consider this shared on facebook, too.
P.S – I am a long time lurker on your site. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I am sorry it took coming here for this to tell you. 🙂
This is a fabulous prize
Oh my goodness! Winning this would seriously make MY Christmas! My daughter is 2 1/2 and in that stage where she wants to “help” me do everything, which makes cooking very difficult (and a little dangerous). It would be fabulous if she had her own little play kitchen! This one is gorgeous!
So nice and simple!! I love it!
My daughter would love this.
I would love one of these! My 2 year old already loves helping me cook!
We bought our simple wooden kitchen when my boys were 21mo and 3.5 and they still play with it at ages 5 and 7. Now my 18mo and 3yo girls use it daily. They get hours and hours and hours of play from it!! BEST Santa gift ever! If I win this, I will gift it to my sister who has a 2.5yo and is expecting twins in January.
Oh my goodness–how cute! We have a small apartment, and that would fit perfectly for our little chef 🙂
Oh wow my son would love this! Later tonight I’ll have to tweet and blog and all that for extra entries. I’m glad I checked in today-I somehow missed that you were doing all these fun giveaways! But I’ll enter all of them probably 🙂
I am obsessed with researching play kitchens – I love this one and my daughter would love it too!
I shared it on Facebook!
My boys would love this as would their mother who would love to have two chefs in the family!
This is so sweet! My daughter would be thrilled by it. (And so would I!)
heatha100@gmail.com Looks like fun!
My (3yo) son and (4yo) daughter would love this!

My son is SO getting a kitchen for xmas!
I would love to give that to my son!
I love it! I wish this had existed (wood at this price point) when my daughter was littler. We know a sweet 1-year-old who would love this kitchen. Thanks for the giveaway.
lina has been asking for a new kitchen since she saw one like this in a catalog.

Last year, I made my son a bunch of play food out of felt. He loves to play in the kitchen and this would be such a great gift! It’s not girly, or plastic. Yay! Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow–that’s a cool little girl gift! Santa did well this year!
Wow, that is a great price for a wooden kitchen. We gave my daughter a tiny plastic one last Christmas and she has fun with it, but it’s not very sturdy.
What a perfect little kitchen!!
How cute! I can think of two littles who would love this!
Oh gosh my girls would go NUTS over this! I’d love it just because the big kids couldn’t take it apart and use it as “weapons” or jumps for their bikes *sigh*

Love this wooden kitchen set. It is perfect for a couple of little girls I know. Would love to give this gift. Much better than plastic or electronic stuff. 🙂

Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway!
Love this kitchen & think my 2 year old (who LOVES helping daddy in the kitchen) would too.

I love that this works for both boys & girls and the clean design. My daughter always comes to me in the kitchen and says, “helpy” – she would love this!
Awesome kitchen! Would love to win it for my son who LOVES playing in the kitchen:)
Based on how much Baguette gravitates toward toy kitchens (and the real stove–she’s started taking saucepans out of the drawer and trying to put them on a burner, which thankfully she cannot yet reach), I think she’d love this!
My little boy loves to cook while mommy’s cooking. He would love this! Thanks for the chance to win :o) Happy Holidays!
Fun kitchen, my girls would love it!
That is a super cool kitchen – it would look great in my kitchen. 🙂
I have been looking for a cute, no-nonsense wooden kitchen for our twins this Christmas. They are 3 1/2 and love playing with their wooden & felt food to whip up pretend meals for their sisters, Dad and I. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hoping to maintain gender-neutrality by giving his to my 3 year old son, who still plays with the doll house I got him last year! (To balance out the dozens of balls, bats and trucks we have 🙂
Perfect kitchen for my niece who’s Mom loves to cook. This looks small enough to be right by the kitchen so she can cook with Mom.
Would love to win this for my 4 yr old girlie!
I tweeted about the contest.
I also put it on my fb status.
This would be a fantastic present for my little girl!
It would be great for my guys.
My 2.5 yo girl keeps telling me she wants a kitchen.
She would love this.

I’d love this for my little man – he loves play kitchens so much and this one is adorable!
I wanted to get my boys a kitchen…my husband intervened and got them a pretend grill. Revenge would be sweet 🙂

I love this little kitchen! I have a little boy and a girl on the way… This would get plenty of use over the years. I like that it isn’t super girly like so many play kitchens. Boys can play kitchen, too!
What a great toy to have for my 3 kids!
