American Girl Doll Kitchen Review

by Katie Wallace | Updated: September 3, 2020

My daughter Kiera loves helping me out in the kitchen. Just this summer, she helped make several batches of cupcakes and cookies. Because of her love for baking, Kiera was ecstatic to hear about American Girl’s new kitchen play set. As the cherry on top, American Girl sent us the set to review! We are thrilled to share all the details about the new American Girl doll kitchen. We’ve also included some highlights of other sets American Girl released this 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!

Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forwar Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forward with grace, that’s all any of us can do.Lately, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions… especially when it comes to homeschooling.Here’s the truth:I can’t keep homeschooling the way I’ve been doing it.I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense, and I don’t love teaching. That’s not why we chose this path.The real reason we homeschool is because we want our kids to have freedom.🌟 Freedom to learn how to learn🩵 Freedom to discover what they love😀 Freedom to grow in diligence and live out their faith boldlyBut as I wrestle with our present, I’ve also had to face my past.I was homeschooled, too.There were a lot of blessings in that, but also some challenges. I grew up in a conservative environment where the focus was often on sheltering kids. And while I know that came from a place of love, it was hard. Especially as a teenager trying to figure out what I believed for myself.In our family’s younger years, our homeschool rhythm has been pretty relaxed, mostly workbooks and flexible days. But moving forward, things are going to look different.Here’s what I do know about the road ahead (and I’ll share more in upcoming reels):— We’re still homeschooling… just reimagining it.— We’re asking the Holy Spirit to lead our family.— Our kids know the Gospel, and that’s our foundation.— We want to live with intention and boldness.— We’re giving our kids space to try new things while they’re still at home.— I’m praying for a gracious heart when the questions come (because they will come).Maybe this resonates with you. Maybe you’ve felt that tension too, between what you grew up with and what you want to build now.If so, you’re not alone. 🫶🌟(continued in the comments)Follow our journey!

Throwback to a year ago. ❤️ We did it! 🥹😎 I had our baby in Merida MX and with some effort, we got her documents lined up to bring her home. She’s a dual citizen, with double US & MX birth certificates and passports. 🌎🌟It was a great experience! 😌🌄😍 We felt like God was with us, led us through the whole process, and provided for us so tangibly even in the small things. 💗🎬 Watch my YouTube video highlighting what we learned by having a baby in Mexico!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#digitalnomads #birthingabroad #worldschoolingfamily #adventurefamily #travelwithbaby

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! 🌎🌟 We’ve learned a lot through our experiences. For example, when arranging a ride to the airport in Cancun, we followed these guidelines ⬇️1. We hired a driver through a company that had good reviews. This gave us peace of mind when traveling 4 hours across Mexico ☀️2. We told friends/family about our travel plans including when we left Merida and when we arrived in Cancun. This gave us some accountability 😃3. Finally, we trusted our instincts. We are continually growing in our travel knowledge and intuition. We often know when an arrangement needs to be changed. Often, we meet very friendly and interesting people!➡️ Would you take your kids on an adventure in Mexico? We had a very positive and memorable experience!! 🌴🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel
