Jumping into Preschool Homeschooling with the Step 2 Fresh Market Kitchen {Giveaway}

If there is one thing that my 3 year old son LOVES to do, it is grocery shopping. He was also super excited when we transitioned to a minivan and frequently asks to go Kroger’ing s his outing of choice. In fact, just this last week when my mother was watching him, he kept begging her to go. I often say, “He is embracing his inner soccer mom.”

The truth of the matter is that he simple loves so many things about being in the kitchen. I suppose when you have a mom with a cooking blog you spend some time in the kitchen getting to know the art of the trade. He not only loves grocery shopping, he loves cooking too. It is a win/win for me. And as we approach our first year of “homeschooling” this year (I use quotes because we are just in preschool now) I have looked for ways to incorporate cooking into our curriculum, both inside and outside the kitchen.

I love teaching him hands on IN the kitchen, but sometimes, that just isn’t feasible. Or safe. So I have been looking for ways to teach him outside the kitchen as well. Several months ago when I began my research I asked YOU which play kitchen I should consider purchasing for him. When I read the comments, it was clear that Step2 was the way I wanted to go. So like any good blogger does, I contacted them. :)

After talking awhile about our upcoming homeschool and acknowledging that we had TWO children that were going to be using the kitchen at the same time, we decided that the Fresh Market Kitchen would be the best fit. And I am pleased to report it was a wise decision. My kids absolutely LOVE this kitchen! (And their friends keep asking if they can come over and play.)

I will be completely honest that I thought I could easily assemble this thing by myself one evening when the kids were in bed. I was wrong. It definitely took a drill and a muscled man to get it assembled. But the up side to that is that it is tremendously sturdy and a toy that my kids are not going to easily destroy. I will take that trade-off.

I “picked” this kitchen because not only did it have bubbling, boiling stove top. It had a farm market shopping area as well. I knew that my grocery shopping loving son would be in love with the cash register and selling items. I have not been disappointed. And as you can see, he is learning a lot already.


The GREAT news is that Step2 wants to share with YOU to! This would be a great item to win and store away for the holidays for the kiddos! How fun would that be to have waiting in the living room on Christmas morning? One lucky Once A Month Mom reader (US only please) will win a Fresh Market Kitchen of their own.

And those homeschool plans. . .I will share more about WHAT we are doing with the kitchen and how we are incorporating it into our curriculum when I announce the winner. This post is getting WAY too long. :)

    Awesome giveaway!! I love the OSU wagon on the site’s homepage – my husband is a die-hard Buckeye. This kitchen is amazing though, my daughter would love it for years to come!

  4. Lindsey S. says:

    My kids would love to play “store” as well as playing “chef”-they’d learn about measuring, mixing, food prep. And things like counting, beginning math ($, measurements, etc.). We’d have so much fun!

    We have this exact kitchen and it is a huge hit!! It has kept my little one out of the kitchen when I need her out but she still is helping in her mind. We were just watching the video and my daughter was teaching your son how to use the credit card. Too cute. I know that you will enjoy hours with your litle ones in the kitchen. I would love to know how you are going to teach preschool with this kitchen.

  15. Zoe says:

    I subscribe via email to OAMM. I completed the survey. I like you on facebook (don’t do twitter).

    I have a 2 and a 5 year old and a always looking for toys they can play with together. Most things just aren’t age appropriate or have enough room for them to both enjoy at the same time. This kitchen/market looks like it would be the perfect toy for them to amuse themselves with!

    Thanks for the great contest!

  16. Jaimie says:

    Wow! My four year old would absolutely love this! I bet she could even get her older sisters to play with her too. ;) If this was in our house, I’m sure she would open a gormet restaurant in our living room complete with tablecloths and waitresses…the works!

  17. Cassie E says:

    Wow! That kitchen is awesome! (and your kids are adorable too).

    My favorite Step 2 product so far has been the Choo Choo Wagon, it has been a huge blessing with our twins. They really do make the best products :)

  18. Cassie E says:

    I filled out the survey, thanks!

  19. Vanessa says:

    My daughter LOVES to help in the kitchen. This play kitchen would allow her to “help” when it’s not safe or practical for her to be helping me.

  20. karen snyder says:

    I would take it to one of the headstart preschool classrooms for lots of kids to use.

    My son loves playing kitchen at church. He would so love to have one at home to play with. Maybe then he’ll stop putting food in my real oven to “cook”.

  24. Yvonne says:

    We frugally scrubbed up an old pink and purple play kitchen found on the curb for our grandsons. They have enjoyed it, i can only imagine what play fun we could have together in this step 2! The market is always a great place for learning :)

  25. Alyssa says:

    Just finished your survey!! My children would LOVE this. They love every thing about being in a kitchen and to have a safe heat free kitchen for them to “cook” in, that would be AMAZING! A gift that all three of the kids can enjoy would be priceless!

  26. Amy says:

    I completed the survey!

  27. Angie DeHoop says:

    My son also enjoys helping in the kitchen but since he’s 2 it’s not totally helpful yet. This set would be awesome next to our kitchen so he can cook too.

    The kitchen is definitely my favorite! Though the water/sand play table is pretty high up on my list for creative play too :)

  39. Corbett says:

    I love that little car. I can’t remember what it’s called. The one with the push handle for parents.

  40. Kelly Schmitz says:

    Completed survey.

  41. nicole landy says:

    My son is 2.5 years old and I think this kitchen would be a great way to teach him about how to eat and shop healthy. Carry over the ideas of buying fresh from a “market” and then doing the same at a farmer’s market and in colder weather at the grocery store. Plus he is beginning to count and think this would be great for teaching basic math along with lots of great play!

  42. Meara says:

    My son will be 3 next month, and loves all things to do with kitchens! This would be a great addition to inspire make believe play!

  43. Jeni says:

    This would be a great way to keep the toddlers in my life out from under foot while I do my oamc. They could cook while I cook! It would be great!!

  44. Sabrina Lewis says:

    The Step2 Fresh Market Kitchen is my favorite Step2 product! I’ve been saving up Amazon gift cards so I can buy this awesome kitchen for my kids for Christmas this year. My favorite thing about it is that its a kitchen and farmers market so my 2 youngest kids can both play with this together without being on top of each other. Its such a great size!

  93. Yuki says:

    My 3 little girls would love this. We have a huge plastic tub that is filled with cooking utensils, pots, pans and food but no kitchen so this would be a most welcome addition. It would present the perfect opportunity to teach measurement and money as well as classifying (vegetable, fruit, meat, dairy) and even home ec. skills. It is large enough that all 3 children could play in their own little personal area of the fresh market kitchen.

    I love this kitchen!!!! I have been eyeballing this exact one for two years now, since I first saw it at our local Sam’s. I frequently take my kids to a local play room just for them to play with a kitchen similar to this one! It just hasn’t been in my Christmas budget as of yet, but all 5 of my kids would LOVE to win one of these and I just might play and cook in it as much as they would! ;) what a fun giveaway!!!!

  103. Rebecca says:

    I filled out the survey!

  104. melinda moses says:

    what I would do the the step 2 product is introduce healthy cooking fresh fruits and veg. along with meats into the childs lifestyle at a early age which I do already but with pretend food. Teach them everyday with play food how to feed their dolls so, when they older they can feed their children healthy foods. It all starts from in cooperating into the early lifestyle.

  105. Heather says:

    I have a almost two year old little girl who also Loves to cook! She follows me around the kitchen and helps me cook as much as she can! She loves to help shop also by picking out foods and pushing the little carts around! I think she would love this kitchen set and it would be good for learning about new foods!

  106. Angie says:

    I completed the OAMM survey! Whoot Whoot!

  107. Kattie D. says:

    I love steep 2 products. I have found them all to be sturdy. I think this kitchen would be greaat for my two yeaar old. He loves to help mommy cook, and he often plays with my pots/pans.

    I am cooking in my kitchen from sun-up to sun-down, would love to have my little girl “helping” in her own little kitchen;)

  144. Kim B says:

    This kitchen is really impressive! We would probably set it up at grandma’s house, because there’s more room there and my daughter is there often enough to make having toys there for her worth while. Besides, her cousin who is also 2 is there a lot as well, so it would be a toy they could enjoy together. They both like to “cook” for adults when they have a chance.

    I have been an e-mail subscriber for years. Love it. My 12 year old grandson has been cooking since he was 5. Two years ago he made 10 pecan pies for Christmas, frm scratch. Last year he roasted the turkey, made the dressing and giblet gravy. And still had time for dessert. Whipped creme for the pies his now 10 year old brother made. This year, they have a 2 year old brother. We want him to cook, also. Hey, the Step2 kitchen would be great, and his older brothers can give him cooking tips I’ve forgotten. Thanks

  182. Debi says:

    I just completed the survey. Not bad. I’ve certainly had to fill out worse.

  183. Kim Martin says:

    I would give this to my niece and nephew for Christmas. My nephew has some disabilities. He goes to 3 different therapies, 2 times each week. It would be good therapy for him to have such a neat toy to entertain and teach him. It would be neat for my sister too since he keeps her busy all day and night. Maybe she could sit and watch him play w/ this as I know it would keep him busy!

  184. Jessica says:

    I would love to use this in our playroom with my kiddos. It would create so much imaginative play.

    My kids love to cook and their play kitchen is kind of pathetic so I think they would enjoy having a much nicer kitchen to play in. My oldest is just starting to learn about money too so I like the market idea – we can incorporate money lessons into his playtime.

    I have a 21 month baby girl and getting ready to have another one any day now. We just got a kids table with 4 chairs and my little girl loves to sit there with her little friends. After my husband saw her doing that, and realized how few toys we have for her, he mentioned how great it would be to have a kitchen next to it where she could play to prepare and serve food. We actually went looking for kitchens yesterday and Step2 was one of our favorites. Although we want to get the kitchen with the arrival of our second baby our girl will have to wait a bit longer to play with it.

  220. Kaci says:

    My son has been asking for a kitchen for so long now. They used one at his preschool and he LOVED it. It was his favorite center. He also loves to help out in the kitchen like your children! I would love to have the Fresh Market Kitchen to help him with his creative play in a safe way!

  242. Jen Thompson says:

    We love the step2 Naturally playful collection! The teeter totter, slide and sandbox have offered and and hours of imaginative play for my three boys!

I’ve been on my own journey of learn g to cook and the boys have been my biggest cheerleaders, being with me in the kitchen (or underfoot). What a blessing it would be to set up their own little kitchen to work in….fantastic imagination center!!

  253. Rachel says:

    I’m in love with this kitchen! I love that has a grocery section too. I would really be able to use this with my child because we could do “shopping” and “cooking”. He already loves to help me cook in the kitchen.

    The kitchen looks like so much fun. We have never had a kitchen here, but they have always enjoyed playing with them at others house, with three kids in the house now a kitchen would be a great way to keep them busy.

    • Jennifer says:

      oh yeah, and my baby boy would use it to “cook” and tell me all about the vegtables. I’m guessing the bigger boy would somehow manage to turn it into a superhero battleground for his younger brother (he has a one track mind).

  284. Amber says:

    I have done all the steps required as well as I follow OAMM on Facebook and now Twitter as well. I have a 4 (almost 5) year old and a 9 month old. My oldest has wanted a kitchen for so long now and I KNOW he would LOVE this one. We used to have a Step2 easel thing and loved it while we had it but it just didnt make it in the 2 moves we have done since we had it. I have yet to do any of the OAMM menus or anything like that because I think a month is a bit too daunting for me so I think that the mini menus mentioned in the survey would be a GREAT jumping off point for me and my family. I usually do my shopping by the week or sometimes bi-weekly I typically like trying new recipes but only when it uses things that I am accustomed to. (I am pretty picky, lol) I hope that we are able to win but if not I wish EVERYONE the best of luck!!!!

  285. I have honestly never used a Step 2 product… but I know my son would love to play with that kitchen. I’d probably pull it into my kitchen while I cook so he could “cook” too.

    As weird as it sounds, our favorite step2 product has been the basic picnic table – our son loves to sit on it, stand on it, write on it, etc. and he simply can’t break it! it even disassembles and reassembles well – we recently moved across the country and had no issues with moving it.

    We have lots of fun with Step 2 outside using one of their climbers and a sand and water table. I would love to bring the fun indoors this winter. When my son was young we purchased a very small “kitchenette” for him not knowing if he’d enjoy a kitchen being a boy. Boy were we wrong! Now that we have a daughter too the small “kitchenette” needs an upgrade so every one can enjoy kitchen play time!

  349. Marisa says:

    When I’m in the kitchen cooking my 20 month old daughter walks in and says “mama you cook?” I tell her yes and then she looks at me with a big smile and says “I cook too!”

    My daughter would love this kitchen. We have many Step2 products including a sand and water table that gets lots of use!

  374. Terri says:

    I’ve completed the OAMM survey also I know my two sons would love this kitchen play set. I grew up with a kitchen play set and loved it. My older son loves to help me in the kitchen.

    It has been quite a while since I have had to buy any Step 2 products, but I want you to know, that when the Grand Babies start to come over to G-Ma’s house, we still have the products we got for when our kids were little.

    Great Products!

  378. Eileen says:

    I laugh because I have my own little food blog for friends and family and my son also LOVES grocery shopping and baking. I let him help prep for cooking but keep him away from the stove. He is 3 and how shall we say…. high spirited. Whenever we go to the kid’s Museum he spends a lot of time with the cash register so he would LOVE that. I also wanted to start a mini mart at home with paper money and pictures to help him learn how to combine amounts such as three pennies and a dollar, etc.

  379. Suz says:

    I have 3 little boys and a little girl on the way. I’m hoping this would get them to play grocery store someplace other than my pantry! (They can already stock shelves because they shop in my pantry so often!) This would also be great to keep them out from under foot when what I’m doing in the kitchen is too dangerous for them to help with (They LOVE to help!)

  380. Eileen says:

    I filled out the survey as well.

  381. Janna says:

    I would likely set this up in my own kitchen so my toddler and kindergarten age kids could play with it–we can work side by side in the kitchen!

  383. Susie says:

    My 3 year old also LOVES to play store. He has a cash register that he uses while we play, making sure to scan each item. I have yet to purchase him a kitchen. They are just a little out of the budget at the moment, but I know it would be the most used toy EVER!

  384. Kathy Davis says:

    I like the Deluxe Art Master Desk from Step 2.

    I remember having a little kitchen set when I was growing up in the 50′s. It is one of my favorite memories.

  392. Kate says:

    Our toddler would love to play with this after she goes “grocery shopping” with her new shopping cart!

  393. Andrea M says:

    Oh goodness!! How fun! My 3 year old would LOOOOVE this! After our 2nd daughter was born, a family in our town had a fire, and we were just sure we were done having children, so we gave away all our small kid toys…clothes… etc. To our surprise.. 3 years later we were expecting our 3rd little girl. I know kids don’t need a lot of toys to have fun and this last little one of mine is turning 3 and has a fabulous imagination and I KNOW she would love love love this fabulous kitchen. She is quite a helper anyway in the big kitchen!

    My almost 3yo son would love this! He often finds a bag, tells me “bye bye” and that he is going to buy milk. He loves going to the grocery store as well and the kitchen is one of his favorite rooms. Ours is just not that safe for him. We’ve been thinking about his own kitchen. I’m doing some “homeschooling” as well and would love to incorporate this.

    I have been blessed with 3 boys and so that is who I will be teaching to cook! :) I’m already working with my oldest 2 in the kitchen to learn basic skills and they love to play restaurant with our dishes/play food. This kitchen would be a blast for them. We’ve also enjoyed Step 2 products, especially the water tables.

  408. Katie Hartline says:

    I would love to have this for my daughter and son! My daughter loves “making spaghetti” with her play food and she would get a kick out of this kitchen! My son is too young yet, but I’m sure he’d love it once he’s big enough!

    (PS – I also filled out the survey.)

  417. Ashley B says:

    My 3 year old daughter(4 in oct.)absolutely is in love with playing pretend. We actually have a smaller kitchen that use to be my hubby’s when he was little. We were actually talking about getting her a bigger kitchen this year since she’s all about making us dinner! lol She has also been counting and teaching her to count the fruit and start teaching her money(it’s never too soon to start) will all come in handy. With the cash register she can go shopping with her grocery cart that she already has!

Like you, I find that sometimes when I am cooking, it is not safe for my daughter to be in the kitchen with me, although she loves to help cook. I would put this play kitchen/market in our kitchen to allow for creative play and learning about food at the same time!

  421. Anne Marie says:

    My kids love kitchens, cooking and food! I have been trying to teach them healthy habits and skills (kale chips today…sadly ey won’t eat them) and I think having a kitchen their size would help!

  423. Shan says:

    OH My gosh!!! My kids are just now into the pretend phase. I have two 2.5 munchkins, a set of boy/girl twins and a 3 month old. We are also “homeschooling” learning the alphabet and our numbers. We could easily incorporate numbers, letters, imagination skills obviously, the list really is endless. But I can also teach them all about the kitchen and what each things does and the rules of being in a kitchen. I can’t wait for them to make their first real cupcakes and spaghetti dinner and what a wonderful way to teach them.

I have several step2 products, like the art desk, complete with light and toy box. They are so well made and have a lot of storage space. My daughter also loves to cook with me and has her own apron and hat, which she recently made at school. I love teaching her how to cook, just like my grandmother taught me. Its like my grandmother is there with us watching over us. :-)

  460. Brittany kramer says:

    I have 3 kids ages almost 5, 2 and 7 months. They currently have a very small pay kitchen from freecycle that is very beat up and several parts missing. I’d love to surprise them with this especially since it’s big enough for all 3 of them to eventually play with it (7 month old just pulling up to stand). They love playing kitchen and this would be perfect. We prefer to have toys that allow them to be creative and use their imagination and this is great for that

  461. Leslie Saunders says:

    My 3 year old son loves to help out in the real kitchen with daddy. I know he would love his own play kitchen where he could make all kinds of wonderful creations!

  462. Angie says:

    We have three kids. 1-6-9. Today was their last day in Public School. We are pulling them out and home schooling them. The kitchen would be a great project for our 1 year old and the 6 year old. They both love to play/pretend in the kitchen. I like so many other moms agree that it isn’t safe for them to be cooking along side on many occasions but this would be perfect to let them “help” in their own little ways. My 6 year old is forever mixing this in a bowl to create spectacular projects. This would be great.

  463. Sheri says:

    Love ALL our step 2 products- we have a desk, small kitchen and one of the sand and water tables. Really need a kitchen for Grandma’s house, this would be perfect.

Both her and my son figured it out at 13 mos, and is a LIFESAVER to wear them out inside during the winter :) And it is also a nice addition outside when it’s warm out :) This kitchen looks like it would quickly replace our slide for favorite toy though, and my daughter would LOVE to cook for her little brother, and new little one on the way!

    My almost 3 year old would love playing in this kitchen. All she can do is keep asking for a kitchen.

    I love to cook, and hoping my daughter will too so we can practice in this kitchen!

    I would use this kitchen set to hopefully help my toddler learn that it’s to have a variety of veggies in our family’s kitchen not just because of the colors but the yummy tastes.
