Product Description
Look what's cookin' in Elmo's Restaurant -- an entire world of pretend-play possibilities! This two-sided restaurant comes with a working microphone, cash register and play money. Little chefs can turn the chunky Bert and Ernie knobs to hear fun phrases that will make them giggle. Place the pot on the burner to hear realistic bubbling sounds and hear sizzling sounds with the pan. Press on the cutting board to hear chopping sounds, and press the bell for a delightful "ding!" Elmo talks when you take the spatula out of this hand. When the cooking is complete, turn to the kitchen's Grover side for dining fun. Take the menu out of Grover's hand to hear him speak, and open/close the refrigerator door for Oscar phrases. All play pieces fit neatly inside the unit's built-in storage spaces. Requires three "AA" batteries, included. Kitchen measures 22"L x 26.3"W x 38"H.

Before kids start helping Elmo run this restaurant, a parent will need to snap the legs and arch onto the main unit and check the batteries. The pieces fit together easily and securely. Since these parts make use of one-time snaps, the unit cannot be broken down once it is assembled. Batteries for demonstration purposes are included, but these may need to be replaced with three new AA batteries, which requires use of a Philips head screwdriver. Once this is done, simply make sure the switch, located inside the oven, is in the "on" position and watch as children explore the restaurant and delight in prerecorded messages from their Sesame Street friends. Detailed, Interactive Construction
With the idea of a restaurant as their starting point, kids will quickly begin role playing and inviting their friends to enjoy a piece of pizza pie or a bunch of broccoli--once they've paid with some Duck Bills or Trash Cash, of course. Kids will love the surprise of discovering what makes their favorite characters speak. They'll hear an effect right away when play begins with taking the spatula from Elmo or picking up the menu from its resting place in Grover's hand. Opening and closing the oven prompts the hungry Cookie Monster to speak, and knobs picturing Bert and Ernie let kids know whether they are cranking up the heat or turning it down. The smart stove makes a sizzling noise when the frying pan is set on its burner. There's even a bell to ring that inspires a yell of "order's up," just like in a real kitchen. The cash register offers a drawer for stashing bills, and it includes a working microphone so that kids can hear themselves talk with the same speaker that plays all the restaurant's fun sound effects. Room for Imaginative Play to Flourish
With a side for cooking and a side for serving, this set is perfect for inspiring cooperative play between friends and siblings, or keeping a single child with an active imagination engaged for hours. Since the restaurant only comes with one set of utensils, kids will need to get creative if there are lots of diners. Parents will love the way all the accessories that come with this set can be neatly stored inside the oven and refrigerator. Of course, getting kids to remember to clean-up may be tough when they're having so much fun. Coming from Fisher-Price, a brand know for fun, durable toys that inspire learning, Elmo's kitchen is well-suited for the demands of active play. Parents will love the sturdy construction and the way accessories can be neatly stored inside the oven and refrigerator. What's in the Box
Main unit, arch, and two legs. Plastic play fork, spoon, plate, cup, spatula, frying pan, menu, egg, milk carton, cookie, bunch of broccoli, slice of pizza, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, bun, hamburger patty, and 12 bills of colored paper money.

 Fantastic January 7, 2009
C. Mittelmaier (Texas, USA)
This was a gift for my 2 1/2 yr old nephew and he just loves it!This product was easy to assemble about 40 minutes. It's good for a girl or boy to play with. All the extra parts were just the right size. I recommended this product to my friend for her 5 yr old daugther and she loved it too. I would have to say 5 stars all the way. Highly recommend. Very satisfied Aunt.
Fun Toy! January 7, 2009
M. K. Hardy (MS)
My little boy really wanted this toy and he really likes it alot. He plays with it everyday. The cash register pops open and there is a little microphone that you can use to place your order. The only downside is the oven door falls off all the time. When I read reviews before ordering this toy that was the main complaint people had. I don't feel it is worth $100, which was the orig price, but I got it on sale so it was OK.
Fun! January 7, 2009

My little one likes it a lot, the one thing that didn't work is the funny elmo money that goes in the register, I think should be made of plastic not of paper
So much fun for my nephew! January 6, 2009
Gift Card Customer (Texas)
I bought this for my nephew because his Mom and I used to play restaurant growing up. She passed when he was only 13 months old. I also made him a table to serve his customers at and he LOVES it. The sounds it makes are cute, it was easy to assemble and it is the perfect size for him (he is three)
I would suggest buying additional play food for it. The few pieces it comes with arent enough when he is "cooking" for all of us!
 Jim Henson would probably not be happy. January 6, 2009

This is a roiling plastic idle upon which the American drive for brand recognition and capitalistic conglomerate anti-altruism has dumped the last bucket of its deceased grandparents's blood. It is a nightmarish, crooked side of industry and it dupes people into suffering through a mediocre existence and subjects innocent children to the cackle of an artificial red monster requesting them to cook and serve not only fake food but also the final thinly shredded vestige of humanity left us as a collective but free-thinking society.
In the hands of monsters we have placed our children's futures, not the hands of puppet monsters but into the hands of warped creators who chew our children's futures, swallow them into their gigantic abscessed first stomach where they are broken down into calculated maps with diagrams and graphs to support market research and test-audience approval, then passed to the acidic second stomach where they are given a last meal, read religious doctrines, washed, polished, and prepared to be hanged by their necks from the oak tree of Saturday morning cartoons and chain store newspaper fliers. Then into the churning blood-filled third stomach they go where there they are molded from toxic chemicals by the hands of underpaid foreign laborers who would never purchase the product they spend so much of their energies making and most likely whisper profanities to one another about during breaks dogging the idiotic nature of a "fake kitchen". And at long last they are shat out from great ruminating bowels into the hulls of aeroplanes, sea vessels, and transfer trucks then placed into emotionless caustic mega-stores where the doors are opened and the animals come to trough milling about for a bargain and god knows what else.
This kitchen deserves to be buried in time and eventually will be I pray and there will be a museum for plastic abominations like this that were designed by nightmare culture-vampires with glassy eyes and blood on their breaths. This product would have its own room in that museum where it would stare blankly at us from under glass occasionally breaking the silence with a rattling, "Dinner is ready!" Dinner is not ready. The dinner that sustains a growing pliable consciousness most certainly has not been prepared in this kitchen. That nourishment has been left alone, raw and bleeding on the slaughterhouse floor of an irrational world begging for mercy but receiving nothing but the initial tentative touch of coarse black feelers belonging to a hairy carnivorous insect creeping up from beneath the boards to have its fill. This occurs over and over and over again because each night it is reborn with the plaintive hope of a new generation of futures and each night the feelers rise from the floorboards and the insect returns.
