A Guide to Kids' Apron Styles

Outfit your young chef in a kids' apron from Pottery Barn Kids. The selection contains aprons for kids in a variety of sizes, so you can likely find one to fit your child. There are multiple apron styles available and most can be personalized with your child's name.

Choosing a Kids' Apron

If your child loves helping in the kitchen or is learning to cook, an apron is a must-have to protect their clothes. Even if your child won't be working with actual food, an apron can enhance pretend play. Choosing an apron style depends on a variety of factors besides size. Style is another thing to consider when buying your child an apron.

There are colorful aprons with cute embellishments, such as the bestselling Pink Gingham Ruffle Apron. It's woven from 100% cotton gingham, so it's soft, lightweight and machine washable. The Velcro closure at the apron's neck area provides for a comfortable custom fit, and the three tiers of ruffles impart a frilly, fun look to this kids' apron.

You may also find aprons available such as the Williams Sonoma & PBK Kids'  Aprons, which are crafted from a sturdy cotton twill fabric with a front pocket for chef's tools. This apron also has Velcro at the neck, so it's easy to put on and take off. Pottery Barn Kids has a Kitchen Tools Set that's an ideal accompaniment, as it contains kid-sized utensils such as a spatula, whisk and measuring spoons to tuck into the pocket.

Play Kitchens

 

Create an area in your child's playroom for pretend cooking with a play kitchen. They can wear their apron while they practice kitchen skills, such as whipping up imaginary meals and pretending to wash dishes. One option is the My First Ultimate Kitchen, which is crafted from durable solid wood and MDF with plastic and metal accents. It includes an oven, microwave, sink, and light-up cooktop. This play kitchen is also equipped with storage for kids' bakeware, pots and pans.

The Penny Play Kitchen has a retro-inspired look, complete with a farmer's sink, stovetop and oven with a clear window. It has a water-based, nontoxic French white finish with brass-toned knobs, so it's as stylish as it is fun. Or put together a custom play kitchen configuration with pieces from the Chelsea Kitchen Collection.

Play Food and Kitchenware

No play kitchen is complete without pretend food. There are soft fabric play food sets, such as the Soft Veggie Garden Set and Soft Cupcake Set. You'll also find wooden blocks that comprise a pretend loaf of bread, along with grocery baskets that come with play produce or other items. Pair the Wooden Fruit Set with the Wooden Grocery Bundle, which comes complete with a basket and shopping cart.

For pretend teatime, give your child the Unicorn Rainbow Tea Bundle. This cute pastel-hued tea set comes with a carrying case for playdates, and you can place it on a kids' tea cart for an elegant display. The Disney Princess Tea Time Bundle comes with a cart, and it also includes a food-safe tea set that your child can actually use. Each tea cup features a beloved Disney Princess and comes with a matching saucer.
