I'll have to look out for that! I've only had the bear and the toy kitchen a short while. I've seen kids hugging the bear and also 'cooking like mommy', but have never noticed any connection in their interactions.

With a family of six young kids it's been difficult to watch them all carefully; I have to look out for 'red-hand' actions such as rattling the dishes and turning lights on and off.

They are growing up now, though, and a couple have gone off to college. With luck I won't need to look out for mischief so much and will be able to see this.
