American Girl Doll Kitchen Review

by Katie Wallace | Updated: September 3, 2020

My daughter Kiera has always loved spending time in the kitchen with me. This summer she helped bake several batches of cupcakes and cookies, proudly mixing, measuring, and frosting. So when we heard about the new American Girl kitchen play set, she was beyond excited. To top it off, American Girl sent us the set to review! Weโ€™re thrilled to share a closer look at this beautifully detailed kitchen, along with a few highlights from other fun American Girl sets released in summer and fall 2020.

Inspiring Girls to Cook

The American Girl brand has always been great at inspiring girls to develop their dreams and learn new skills. Through reading the storybooks and playing with the doll sets, my two daughters love learning about the American Girl characters.

This American Girl kitchen has all the accessories to create a beautiful culinary space for 18″ dolls. Stocked with play food and tiny kitchen utensils, it’s the perfect interactive play set for girls who love to cook and bake! The doll kitchen comes in two main sections; a countertop island with a sink and a refrigerator connected next to the stove and oven. Both of these kitchen segments are surprisingly heavy and very good quality, even down to the tiniest knob. Kiera really enjoyed opening all the accessories and adorable miniature kitchen utensils.

American Girl Baking Station

This American Girl kitchen comes with all the things to pretend you and your doll are baking together. The set includes tiny canisters filled with white glitter, labeled flour and sugar. Girls can use the tiny mixer (with two different mixing attachments) to mix up cake batter in the miniature bowl. Next, they can measure out dry ingredients with the tiny measuring cups and measuring spoons. Finally, girls can slide a pie into the oven, or remove it from the oven and serve up a slice on small plates with tiny forks.

Mini Food for American Girl Dolls

Alternately, if you don’t feel like baking sweets, you can always make your doll and her friends a pizza or a stack of pancakes! The American Girl kitchen released in Summer 2020 comes with an assortment of adorable play food. Inside the fridge, girls can store the carton of milk, butter, eggs, pitcher of lemonade, fresh lemons, cheese, bag of salad, salad dressing, maple syrup and more! Of course, girls can use any of this food to make their American Girl doll a splendid lunch or a picnic for friends. All the American Girl play food is super adorable and detailed with the typical signature American Girl quality.

Realistic Play Experience

This American Girl kitchen is very interactive in that it inspires girls to practice cooking through play. Many of the kitchen appliances make sounds or light up. One of the stove burners makes the sound of boiling water when you put a pot on the stove. Another burner makes the sound of a whistling kettle when you put the kettle on. The oven dings when the pizza or pie is done, and the pizza and pie changes color after being in the oven!

These fun details set this American Girl doll kitchen apart from other play sets. Even the ice machine works by dispensing two small pieces of play ice, and makes the sound of pouring water. Finally, the refrigerator light turns on when the door is opened.

Overall, the American Girl kitchen is a really fun set for girls to pretend cooking with. This toy set is just one of American Girl’s recent releases that inspire imaginative play for girls!

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But weโ€™ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and itโ€™s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงป

๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the earl ๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the early 1800s in Yorkshire, England, where crime came with serious consequences. Even children were punished with prison time for stealing food or property. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

We walked through cold cells and learned about the forced labor and bleak meals given to inmates. This glimpse into Victorian prison life was sobering, but such a powerful experience for our kids.
