I just read that Toys 'r us are having easy bake ovens on sale for $9.99 on black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) from 6am-11am. Weren't you thinking of getting one for dd.

[Diane]

I'm not Renee and don't mean to butt in but... does anybody know the suggested age for such of a toy? I have a df who's got a 7-1/2 year old dd and was thinking about buying one for her birthday. Wow... what a great deal too... $9.99. Aren't they normally around $l5.00?

Diane... :wave:

[Amy]

No problem Diane! :)

They are regularly $19.99. I bought one for my dd when she was 4. A bit too young at that age. LOL 7 1/2 is a perfect age for one!

Remember you have to get there between 6am-11am!

[RCT]

That is a great price. Makes me want to go shopping. Although DD wants to cook in my real oven, so I just let her.

Then maybe in 4 years I can give her a night to cook. Now that is looking like a plan!!!

It is a very tempting price... isn't it? I can't remember, how old is your dd Karla?

I also know of a few people who are planning on buying them one of these for their son's... I remember my little cousin (who was a boy) use to just LOVE his sisters. Every time we'd go over there to bake in her oven... he'd always hog it from us. LOL They were always a lot of fun. :)'
