After picking the best play kitchen and food sets to buy for my children, I realized I wasn’t finished yet. That’s because without the proper accessories to go along with those things the set isn’t really complete.

To round out the play kitchen experience for my kids, I looked for the best accessories to buy. From dish and cookware sets to play appliances, I had a hard time deciding what my kids would like best.

So, I broke the search down into three categories and then made a short list of my favorite options. I’m sharing that list here to help you find the best play kitchen accessories for your own children. Below are 10 of the most popular options for dish sets, cookware sets and even some cool play appliances. I also included a neat “bonus” item which I just love.

Play Dish and Tea Sets

1. Learning Resources — New Sprouts Serve It! Dish Set

Teaching your kids how to set the table at mealtime doesn’t have to be a difficult task. This 24-piece play dish set from Learning Resources allows you to do so in a fun and engaging way! Made with beautifully colored PVC plastics, this set is 100 percent BPA, phthalate and lead free for increased safety.

It is specially designed with 7 inch plates and 4 inch deep bowls, which is larger than most available sets. This means they can hold more pieces of play food at a time than the ones in other sets do. Plus, their large size makes them easier for the little hands of children 2 to 6 years old to handle.
