Toy stoves are miniature kitchen appliances designed for children to play with. They often resemble real stoves and come in various styles, including electric, gas, or wood-burning models. These toys are typically made from plastic or wood and may include features like knobs, burners, and sometimes even sound effects to mimic cooking. Playing with toy stoves encourages imaginative play and helps children develop important skills. Kids can pretend to cook meals, which fosters creativity and social interaction when they play with friends or family. Toy stoves are often part of larger playsets that include other kitchen items, such as toy pots, pans, and utensils.
