Editorial Review
Ask anyone who’s ever set foot in a kitchen and attempted to prepare a meal: cooking can be an adventure. So it stands to reason that Dora the Explorer, everyone’s favorite bilingual adventurer, has an adventurous kitchen. This entertaining and comprehensive set features a stove, sink, range, musical radio, whirring blender and refrigerator to store items not in use. 28 different food and utensil items are also included. There are also some delightful features not found in regular kitchens including a touch screen that plays out food-based excursions and challenges young chefs to take part (find the tomatoes in the garden for instance). This is an exciting twist on the traditional play kitchen and is a great way to help kids learn and possibly encourage a love of cooking. --Charlie Williams

Ask anyone who’s ever set foot in a kitchen and attempted to prepare a meal: cooking is an adventure. So it stands to reason that Dora the Explorer, everyone’s favorite bilingual adventurer, has a kitchen worthy of investigating. This entertaining and comprehensive play set features a stove, sink, range, whirring blender, and refrigerator for budding chefs to "cook" their inspired masterpieces. There’s even a radio that plays music and a telephone that really rings.

A plethora of play foods and utensils will keep small ones occupied for hours.

With 28 different food and utensil items included, the imagination can extend pretty far. But if your child tires of playing with the plastic pieces, they can start playing the games on the interactive touch screen instead. There are five recipe adventures that teach kids the ingredients in certain dishes, as well as the locations where those ingredients can be found (tomatoes in the garden, for instance). These food-based excursions challenge cooks-to-be and offer a new twist on traditional kitchen play.

A touch screen encourages kids to play food-based games and learn recipes.

Of course, the kitchen is chock full of realistic sound effects, and even has phrases in both English and Spanish--just like Dora. Speaking of that adventurous young girl, a life-size Dora figure stands to one side of the kitchen to keep kids company. When not being used, the various pieces can be stored in the oven or refrigerator until it’s time to prepare the next meal. This set is a fantastic way to encourage kids to have a love of cooking. Three AA batteries are required, but not included.

buy used
I got this for $12 at a yard sale and it's great. My 2 year old grandson loves it. Why this seller wants so much is beyond me as you can get it new at Toys R Us for $75. My little guy loves washing his trains in the sink and putting them in and out of the refrigerator/stove. But again check for it at yard sales as it's durable and a much better deal that way.

Great brain food!
We got the Dora Talking Kitchen for our granddaughter's turning-three birthday. Needless to say, she LOVES it! The variety of the recipes and the sound effects are not too repetitive, so it's a new experience every time she plays with it. It's sturdy enough for our brute of a 14 month-old grandson,too!It's a nice springboard for her and her friends & cousins (ages 14 months to 7 yrs)in creative & imaginative play; it appears to be designed for children to actually use their own minds(grow that brain!)rather than follow a rote script, I appreciate the heck out of that....and the kids ALL have a BLAST!

love it!!
I bought this for my 3 year old niece and she adores it!!! My nephews who are 10, 7 and 5 years of age love it too!!! They think it is the coolest thing and they fight over it! A little pricey for a family budget but in the end---probably worth it!!
