Have you heard? We’re up for Innovative Toy of the Year for the KidKraft Amazon Alexa Enabled 2-in-1 Kitchen and Market, and we couldn’t be more excited!
The Toy of the Year Awards (TOTYs) recognizes the year’s best new toys in a variety of categories from dolls to plushies to playsets. As you might have guessed, the Innovative category honors toys that are truly creative, new, and well… innovative. To land a nomination in this category, a toy must do something that’s never quite been done before.
To say that we’re honored to be included in such a list is a huge understatement, but we can’t help but agree that the Alexa Enabled 2-in-1 Kitchen and Market deserves the attention.
What Can You Expect From The Alexa 2-in-1 Kitchen and Market?
This is a play wood kitchen like you’ve never seen before.
The KidKraft kid skill for Alexa allows kids to interact with Alexa through games, recipes, jokes, and more as they play. Alexa can recognize and “read” from over 24 recipe cards, building real-world cooking skills even for pre-readers. Games provide new ways for kids to interact with their play kitchen, and of course, those kid-friendly jokes are delightfully cheesy and fun even for the adults in the room.
Even without KidKraft kid skill for Alexa, the 2-in-1 Kitchen and Market offers plenty in the way of innovation. Interactive food items and dishes enhance realistic play through sensors. Kids can ring each item up at the store and receive a grand total based on what they bought. Plus, the innovative 360° design lets kids switch back and forth between kitchen play and grocery shopping, providing an even richer play experience from a single toy.
