Oh toy kitchen for SURE!!! DD got one at Christmas and went absolutely ballistic. Add a set of small cups and a little tupperware jug (don't know where DW got ours, but it's great) and you have yourself hours and hours of play!

We got ours from either IKEA or one of those toy clearance places. It has a cooktop, microwave and oven on the front and a little plastic sink bowl and washing machine on the back. It stands about 1.2m high and only about 60cm wide, so doesn't take up too much space in the playroom.

A paint easel (spelling) is also a good idea but can be dancing with danger there.
