Mini-Kitchen for Silas

I noticed that my son loves to play with the plastic containers kitchen and food cans that he can open the cabinets in kitchen. I don't mind to let him to play with those because all children do curious at new something everyday. Silas is one of them that he likes to play it in the kitchen. However, my kitchen is small at my apartment so he is in my way while I need to prepare food or cooking. I need to think about SAFETY for my son! I know that I need to buy gate to not let him enter the kitchen but it is too silly because it is okay for him to curious to play and likes to make the noise of plastic container bowl with lid. But I have to responsible to watch him to not play the toxic cleaning under sink. However, I plan to throw the cleaning supplies when it is no more of liquids so I can buy more non-toxic cleaning or homemade natural cleaning. Also, I took my friend's advice about magnet cabinet lock which I need to order because I live in apartment that I don't want to use any screw to make hole on cabinet. For magnet cabinet doesn't need to use screw or damage to put on it. Nice!

I saw the ikea.com and have mini kitchen costs 99.99 which it is sale! It is so perfect because it is birch plywood and good for Silas to play. Same time, he don't need go to kitchen with me. I read the product description and said recommended for children 3 years and older can play. Or, should I order fisher-price grow with me cook and care kitchen. The fisher-price is more plastic but the accessories is included but I have to take it away because its small parts that cause choking hazard. While Ikea mini kitchen is not comes with accessories but I am fine with it because I can find the right age for my son can play alike big size of fruits/vegetables. One problem is that he loves to chew something. The kitchen is perfect Silas because of his develop with his motor skills. He loves to push/pull. Oh, both can adjust to heights when the child grows. One question is that my son will be 1 year old, is it okay to buy it for him? I think that I like Ikea mini Kitchen! 

Mini-Kitchen from Ikea $99.99
Fisher-Price Kitchen from Toy R Us $79.99
