His very own "Mixter"

So all of this baking has given me the idea to get Ethan a toy mixer for Christmas. Now, I just have to choose one. Anyone care to give me their opinion?


Choice #1: The Casdon 490 Kenwood Mixer
http://www.amazon.com/Casdon-490-Toy-Kenwood-Mixer/dp/B00009W9JC/ref=pd_sbs_t_4

PROS:
It really works. It has two speeds and the description says it will have junior bakers on their way.

CONS: It really works. All I can think of is how careful I have to be myself not to get my spatula caught in the beaters. Or a worse thought...pinched fingers. ouch.


Choice#2 : Electronic Mixer
http://www.amazon.com/Motormax-Electronic-Mixer/dp/B000MEWORG/ref=pd_sbs_t_5

PROS: Pulse function
CONS: I don't love the design. I would really like something that looks more like my KitchenAid.






Choice #3: Pottery Barn Kids Wooden mixer (in Red)
http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/ty30/index.cfm

PROS: I love wooden toys. They are durable and generally safe. The absence of beeping and blinking leaves more to the imagination and let's the kid exercise their mind with creative play. You can crank the top and mixes. No pinched fingers!

Cons: Holy $59! That's kind of steep.



If anyone sees any others, please feel free to send them to me! I appreciate it.

I LOVE that he calls it a "mixter." That totally makes me smile. Have you seen this one: http://www.playkitchens.com/play-kitchen-accessories/small-appliances/primarycolorsbakingset.cfm
