The Hape Outdoor Kitchen gives your little one a place to dig, mix and decide what they are making today.
Before long, the outdoor kitchen starts to have its own little rhythm in the yard. Your little one heads over, chooses who they are today, then gets busy with the utensils. You might hear, I’m the chef, one afternoon and I’m doing science, the next. Some days the play is quick and muddy. Other days they stay absorbed, mixing and explaining exactly what they have made.
Our in-stock products are usually dispatched from Melbourne within 24–48 hours. During peak and sale periods, dispatch and transit times may be longer.
Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families who want an outdoor pretend play piece for a child aged 36 months+ and like the idea of active, messy backyard play with more than one storyline. It is especially well suited to little ones who enjoy making, mixing and deciding whether today’s play is cooking, gardening or experimenting.
36 months+
Product overview
Backyard play often lasts longer when there is something real to do with the pretending. At first, your child might be making lunch at the outdoor kitchen. Soon they are collecting, mixing, testing and announcing a new plan. Some days it becomes a café. Other days it is a plant table or a backyard lab. Because the play is open-ended, they can come back with a new idea each time, rather than using it in one set way.
Product details
Open-ended role play gives your little one a reason to return with a new idea, not just repeat the same pretend meal every time.
This gives the play a satisfying job to do, which can help it hold their attention outdoors.
For parents, that matters because outdoor toys need to cope with repeat visits, changing weather and enthusiastic play.
It is less likely to feel like a one-use novelty when the play can keep changing with your child’s ideas.
