Play Food - Classroom Set, 100 pcs

Here's a fantastic play food set for your child with items from almost all food groups.

Playing with play food improves your child’s vocabulary. Role play, such as serving food to friends or dolls or playing grocery store and pretending to buy and sell the items, helps develop their social skills. You can also have wonderful conversations with your child about what foods are healthy and good for the body.

The play food has a very realistic design.

Also suitable for professional childcare and educational settings.

Includes:
100 different items

• fruit (e.g. pear, strawberry, grapes, and apple)
• vegetables (e.g. broccoli, corn, lettuce, and bell pepper)
• chicken, steak, egg
• grains, pasta, bread
• milk, juice
• cookies, pretzel, pancakes, and crackers
• plastic storage box with snap lid. 30 x 30 cm.

Develops important skills that really benefit your child's well-being and learning ability:

• Strengthens your child's visual perception.
• Develops hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when we throw, catch, or kick a ball that comes flying towards us in PE class, when we cut accurately line with a pair of scissors, or when we need to pour a glass of water without missing.
• Ideal for group role play, where little ones learn about finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.

Suitable for ages 2 yrs. to 4 yrs.

Talk about where food comes from, when we typically eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. This helps to develop your child’s knowledge and vocabulary. Toy food is ideal for role playing, which inspires your child to act out real-life experiences such as cooking, shopping, or being in a café.

Role playing allows children copy real-life activities, which helps to develop their understanding of the world around them. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise greeting customers, writing signs, and calculating special offers. Your child can practise taking payments and giving back change, which is great for their math skills.
