Once kids get going, though, there's no stopping them: Play is unlimited and never ending. Parents may want to help kids through at first before letting them explore on their own. The sequence of taps, drags, and screen changes can be a bit complicated, especially for young kids. One thing to note is that the frying-pan tool always fries food in butter, so there is no experimenting with different fats or flavorings. Kids choose the food and how to prepare it: raw fish, oven-baked pineapple, or mushroom juice - anything is possible. As in the original Toca Kitchen, kids experiment with feeding food to ever-hungry guests and watching their reactions. Parents need to know that Toca Kitchen 2 is an open-ended, free-exploration game in which kids are in charge in the kitchen. Parents can hide this icon through their device's settings menu. Toca Kitchen is available for download on iTunes for $1.99.There is a small icon on the home screen that leads to ads for other apps by the same developer. The best part of this adorable app? No matter how much cooking has transpired or how many pots and pans have been used, clean up has never been easier. But be careful! If you try and feed the little boy a serving of hay, you may end up with a grumpy guy on your hands!
