The Whitney Brothers elevatED™ Kitchen Island Breakfast Bar is an award-winning dramatic play kitchen from Whitney Brothers' elevatED™ Collection - the centrepiece of a modern dramatic play area, available across North America. The manufacturer describes it as "On-trend, award winning update to the play kitchen!" It is the first freestanding 360-degree play kitchen island in the elevatED™ range: the front is a fully equipped chef's kitchen and the back is a breakfast bar counter where children pull up a stool and eat or socialise.

The front face is set up as a complete working kitchen. The top surface features a sleek four-burner stovetop with black acrylic etched burners, a modern rectangular metal sink, and a chrome faucet with working handles. Below, two open centre shelves for play food and kitchen accessories are flanked on each side by appliance doors - an oven on one side and a dishwasher on the other - both with black acrylic door accents and knobs that turn and click. The back face features an overhanging counter that gives children a dedicated breakfast bar seating surface to pull up a stool, eat together, and socialise. Stools are not included.

Skills and Benefits of the Whitney Brothers elevatED™ Kitchen Island Breakfast Bar

• Imaginative and Dramatic Play - A 360-degree kitchen island that serves as both a cooking station and a breakfast bar gives children the full material context for extended, multi-role domestic play - cooking, serving, eating, and cleaning up in a single coherent scenario.
• Language and Communication Development - The chef-and-diner format creates a natural two-role conversational dynamic - taking orders, describing the menu, serving food, asking for more - supporting rich vocabulary development and conversational exchange.
• Fine Motor Skills - Turning click knobs, operating faucet handles, opening and closing appliance doors, and placing and retrieving items from shelves develops fine motor coordination and hand control in a purposeful, highly motivating play context.
• Social Interaction and Collaborative Play - The 360-degree island design specifically invites simultaneous engagement from multiple children on both sides of the unit, developing cooperative play, role-sharing, turn-taking, and social communication.
• Life Skills Awareness - Kitchen, serving, and household play introduces children to real domestic routines in a child-sized, emotionally safe environment, supporting early awareness of self-care, food preparation, and household tasks.
• Executive Function and Role Management - Assigning kitchen roles, managing the cooking sequence, serving at the breakfast bar, and sustaining a collaborative play scenario develops planning, sequencing, and flexible thinking.
