Little Helpers in the Kitchen

What do you think of the add on to the island for the little helpers who like to be in the kitchen?

@lolakimono That is such a charming idea. Love it and just the right number of chairs, since I now have four grandchildren--3 boys and the last is a little girl, almost 6 months.

That appears to be a wonderful kitchen in which to work. Love it.

Always enjoy the pictures you post.

It's adorable and it looks like you can just move it if you need more space. Much nice than a card table set off in the corner.

I've used a little child size picnic table before in the kitchen

When DD was little, we purchased a "craft" table for her that we put in the breakfast nook. It was the best thing we ever bought for her. She loved to sit at that table of hers and color all the time. I didn't worry about her coloring outside the book on to my good table and the pressure was off her to be meticulous. Hard to do when you are three.

Big thumbs up for this set up..

It's a cute idea but I wouldn't have that in my kitchen.

Maybe on Thanksgiving! LOL

This reminds me of sitting at the kiddie table when I was young because there was no room at the big table when we had large family gatherings.

I think this is an ok idea, but I really dislike the looks of it. I think I could find something that would serve the purpose, but look a lot nicer & be more complimentary to the existing kitchen.

We're back to having a toddler in the house a lot -- great way to stay in the same room without climbing on bar chairs.

Very good idea and one that I have used. Our "kitchen table" was the kid's table. (Having primitive antiques, not formal, we always ate in the dinning room. I hate eating looking at a kitchen.). The boys had breakfast there, lunch on the weekends, and did homework there. I also did crafts there.

Now, it holds all of my holiday baked goodies.

Adorbs. Keep them close. Even if they're not helping in the kitchen, they're always learning.

It's a pretty kitchen & practical with the smaller add on - for now.

It'd be nice if it's somehow detachable for when the kids get older & it can be removed. Maybe save it for grandchildren or other children.

This is a big no thanks for me. I don't like anything about the little helper's furniture nor do I like that ugly cafeteria chair on the other side of the room. It might all be practical for whoever lives in this home, but it's not my cup of tea.

I love the idea and have had a kids table for my kids and my grandkids (stilll have it). I would just change the color of the chairs to blue, white, cream, or silver. I don' like the pink at all.

Love it-- utterly charming and such a good idea. Little kids can hang out, play, and 'learn by osmosis' in the kitchen! I very much like the raspberry pink with navy island and backsplash. And the brass pendants are just the right accent.

Love it.

The kitchen is the heart of the house and the kids are the heart of the home.

Don't care for the kitchen, but I do like the little table and chairs. Always had one for my kids.

Really like this idea! I've never seen a high bar stool I trusted a small child on. I can see getting a lot of use out of this.

@lolakimono I love this idea. The only change that I would make is to have each chair in a different color. To me, while maybe distracting to some, it would add fun and the kids would love it.

@lolakimono Since the kitchen is small, this little helper works. That's what I call a great parent always caring about the kids over design/looks.
