<font color="0077aa">Icylemon: would you happen to know any wooden sets that are not as ex as the Melissa & Doug one? I have been gradually changing C's toys from plastic to wood. Mainly because for some of the plastic ones, I realised that they do not last that well (or maybe Cate is v rough) as they become brittle and they break off / crack. Additionally, I am also hoping to buy wooden ones due to Ecological concerns. My ILs went to BKK recently and bought some from Viola Toys which basically has a tree replanting scheme or something like that. But cannot find kitchen set leh...</font>

dimpletot,
let me tempt you... remember the talk did mention that having a kitchen set would be good in aiding speech development? Heehee! And also it's good to have it for when they are older, they will start with lots of imaginative and role play. I'm very sure Kate will spend hours playing with it. Tempted now? Hahaha!
Re: wooden toys
If you mummies are interested, I can get a 15% discount for this brand Voila. http://www.voilatoy.com/
The website doesn't show all the toys available so need to download the catalogue to see everything. There are kitchen sets too.

wow those sets you posted look tok kong.
busybee
i saw the ikea one - kate had a good time playing with it. the shop that we visited had nice kitchen sets too yah? I saw the wooden dollhouses from the plan brochures - to die for! But if I got it and decked it out with all the 'necessary', I'm sure the price would be to die for too.

JJmom. sooo cute! I dun mind if miki wants to push her little pram when we go shopping!
Dimpletot, the kitchen set from Plan which caught my eye is $245 in violet. Really hoping to pay less then $200. I think on average to get one from the big brands prices are all above $200, so I am still scouting. The doll houses are nice too. But I think the peg dolls are kind of ugly to the point of a little scary looking. But thats me! ahahha
Mint, anything less then $200?

icylemon,
I've got 3 bedrooms too but with 1 kid I also find it a shortage of space! Where do you place desktop/laptop and printers and etc without a study room? Currently 1 bedroom is study room cum entertainment room where most of Dylan's toy is, a mahjong table, desktop, printer and a tv...find that there's not enough room for Dylan to really play...if there's No.2 there'll be a 'space constraint'!

I'm really loving Ikea's and Jo seemed interested but sat that time, 2 Korean girls treated the set as if it's theirs and no chance to let Jo try out. I also love Ikea's steel pots and pans. Kawaii!

u mean the plan dolls? quite cute what...
http://www.plantoys.com/catalog/products_detail.php?id=7415
i think the violet one was pretty... but a bit less 'substantial' / more flimsy than the sets facing indoors? those were a bit more boxy lah...
