Step2 Introduces New Playsets for 2011!

Step2® is proud to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary this year and introduce the latest in their line of fun, durable toys. The 2011 collection includes a new look for the family favorite Push Around Buggy to celebrate the toy’s 10th anniversary, an updated take on pretend-to-play with the Cozy KitchenTM and dining room sets, plus the pint-sized play systems – from laundry to grilling to baking – giving little ones even more ways to expand their imaginations with role modeling.

Earlier this week I toured Step2’s showroom to see the new collection.  As always, there are lots of play options be introduced this year.  Here are some of my favorites!  Note that all of these are prototypes so the colors may be a little different when they are released.

In addition to their full-size sets, Step2 will be introducing some smaller play or tabletop sets.  Look for a bakery, laundry set complete with an ironing board, clicking knobs, and an iron with electronic sounds, a Grill Set that features a removable grate, working door, realistic decals, electronic grilling sounds, and a 20-piece accessory set, and a workbench.
