I'm mostly just answering to let you know I'm sorry about the tone of some of the answers above. I saw absolutely nothing wrong with your question...You specifically said just wondering, not worried. Anyway, I don't know about the kitchen thing. My 2.5 year-old son loves his kitchen, and loves his friends' (male friends) mega-kitchen even more (microwave, oven, coffeepot, stovetop, sink, everything). I think it's just gadgets to them, and boys love gadgets, right? Most mothers today don't spend all day in the kitchen the way June Cleaver did, so they probably don't regard it the way some people might think; it's probably a pretty neutral area to them. People must be noticing that boys like the kitchens, too, though, because they're not all pink and pretty now.

Cooking is a very creative activity. Not only does it use imagination but organization as well. It also signifies caring and nurturing. All these things are wonderful traits for any child. Relish his "creations" praise his efforts and give him some menu suggestions!! As soon as he is old enough, have him helping in real cooking. He will learn math by measuring ingredients. He will read by looking at recipes. He can learn how to substitute for something you may not have on hand. He will learn to always wear a potholder when removing things from the oven..... All the little things that come with cooking are essential in life. Just think how self sufficient he will be someday and make a great husband to those girls who can't cook!! :)

Many of the world's greatest chefs are men! What makes you think a kitchen is a girls' toy? My husband is by far a better cook than I am, and it's a good thing, or we may have died from scurvy by now!
It's very normal...he sees his parents in the kitchen, and is just emulating what they do.

I think they're just experimenting with the gender roles, because "normally" it's "mommy's job" to be in the kitchen & I think they just like to see what it's all about.
When I was very young & used to play house, sometimes I would pretend to be the daddy so it's really pretty normal.
Oh and my two year old son LOVES baby dolls - my 18 month old niece LOVES cars, I think it's really cute ♥

Nothing wrong with that! My son liked playing kitchen too.
Just think - maybe he will grow up to be a master chef. I know where I'm going for my holiday meals!!

My son who is almost 4 knows we got his sister, who is almost 2, a kitchen for her birthday - he can't wait till she gets it so he can share it with her! Also, he LOVES watching Rachel Ray - he will put her show on while I get dinner ready. I don't see anything worng with it. I like to bake, so my son has been in the kitchen since he was born helping me with that. And while I baked, I would give him spoons, or a bowl filed with water and the wisk to play with.

I play and laugh along with her. I carry her and cuddle her and kiss her. I do each little thing interior of my skill to make her experience secure. I examine to her. I watch academic video clips along with her. I pay attention to her while she talks to me. I take her to the park, even while i in my view do no longer want to circulate. I be sure she by no potential has any undemanding desires that circulate unfulfilled. I shoo the monsters out from under her mattress and prepare her the celebs. I play peek-a-boo and ring-around-the-rosey. I hug her while she's disillusioned. I tell her she's exceedingly and clever and robust and robust. I cover in selfmade tents along with her and laugh while Daddy can not "locate" us. I sing stupid songs along with her and to her. I tell her bedtime thoughts a pair of princess with an identical call as her. I discipline gently while mandatory. I nibble her ft. I %. plant life along with her. I keep a mag of each little thing she does so she would be able to confirm it later in life. each little thing I do while i'm close to her is out of love for her.

Stop trying to make your toddle conform to social standards. Boys at that age do not know that it is 'wrong' to play with dolls and pretend to cook. He is probably just imitating his older sister. It has nothing to do with his sexuality. Would you rather him play with dolls or toy guns? Think about it.
