My 3 year old absolutely loves this Modern Metallics baking set. It is high quality construction, and sturdy enough to withstand little ones. The mixer provides a lot of enjoyment in my household. It is wooden, and the top lifts so the enclosed bowl can be placed under it, or removed when the enclosed ingredients are "mixed." The rolling pin really works, so that is a fun feature, also. My son has been "baking" all sorts of things for me and his dad.This set encourages imaginative play, and offers hours of fun. I recommend this to everyone with young children, especially since it is well made and can be shared and passed down to siblings.
