Time to go shopping for dinner! When your child is done working their magic in the play kitchen, maybe they'll pack a picnic basket so you can have a cosy picnic dinner on the living room floor.Â
Includes a steak, grilled chicken breast, a baked potato, an empty salad bowl, a pineapple ring, a broccoli floret, a glass of milk, 3 lettuce leaves, 2 tomato slices, 2 cucumber slices, and an ice cream sandwich for dessert (or as an appetizer, if you're having dinner in opposite land).
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 18 mos. to 5 yrs.Talk about where food comes from, when we typically eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. This helps expand your child’s knowledge and vocabulary. Play food is great for pretend play, which inspires your child to act out real-life scenarios such as shopping, cooking, or being in a café.
Through role play, your child can gain experience with rules, boundaries, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation. When multiple children play with play food together, they learn how to take turns, communicate and work together to reach compromises. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise writing little signs, coming up with prices and special offers, and practising polite phrases. Your child can take payment at the cash register and give back change, which is great for practising their math skills.
This activity supports important skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Perfect for group role play, where little ones practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to leads.
- Strengthens your child's language understanding and development.
