I love this cooking set and so do my 18 month old son and 4 year old daughter. My daugher received this as a gift and both kids have lots of fun playing together and they love pretending to "grill like daddy". Some of the shish kabob pieces are a little small so we have to make sure we are with our son when he plays, but for an 18 month old skewering the food is a fun fine motor skill.
