Kidkraft Kitchen Toys - Ideal For Kinesthetic Learners

Kidkraft  kitchen toys provide ideal tools for kinesthetic learners to develop skills. Kinesthetic children learn by doing an activity rather than by reading or listening to how the activity is done. Even though the primary purpose for play kitchen toys is for play time, it is not uncommon for items that not intentionally designed for educating to help develop skills in a child. A real kitchen is full of wonderful things for kids to learn. Play kitchen toys are not always easy to find in retail stores but they are easy to find online.

A play baking set is a great example of how these toys help kinesthetic learners. Allowing a child to use a pretend baking set to bake cookies teaches the child to follow instructions, measure ingredients and stir. Play kitchen toys such as baking sets usually include a rolling pin, cooking pan, measuring spoon, nonworking mixer, spatula, and plastic chocolate chip cookies. For example, the Kidkraft kitchen rolling pin actually works and can be used for cut-out cookies. Learning how to multitask is another positive benefit of baking "cookies" using kidkraft  kitchen toys.

Another learning opportunity is found with using pretend cookware toys. These sets usually contain a frying pan with lid, plates, cups, and utensils. These sets allow kinesthetic learners to role play all of the steps involved in a complete meal preparation. Kids then use the toys to create a table setting and serve their meal.

Letting your kinesthetic child pretend to measure and mix ingredients, bake the cupcakes, then arrange the cupcakes on the stand teaches many valuable skills for lifelong activities, including balance and coordination skills. Playing with kitchen toys creates a sense of responsibility and pride in a child. With activity based learning, it is important to teach kids to complete the activity all the way. There are still more learning opportunities awaiting them at the end of the meal preparation task.

Learning to manipulate the washcloth or sponge on the kitchen toys helps her coordination skills. Additionally, she will learn the importance of cleanliness, especially in kitchen products. Playing with kidkraft  kitchen toys helps kinesthetic learners develop important skills without even realizing it. By Joe Kanooga
