Play Food - Farm-to-Table Fresh Market, 27 pcs

A fun set of realistic plastic play food with a charcuterie board, an egg tray, and two baskets. Even the box gets to play along: it doubles as a vegetable garden with a produce stand.

The set has bell pepper, corn on the cob, tomato, bread, lettuce, eggs in two colours (one of them cracked), grapes, pears, strawberries, blackberries, and cheese. 

The activity supports skill development and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Helps your child unleash their imagination.
• Excellent for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This strengthens your child's social skills.
• Benefits your child's understanding of language.

Suitable for children aged 18 mos. to 6 yrs.

Talk about where our food comes from and what happens to it inside the body. This is great for your child’s vocabulary and knowledge. Toy food is fantastic for pretend play, which inspires your child to act out real-life situations such as cooking, shopping, or going to a café.

Role play where children act out everyday activities helps to develop their understanding of the world around them. With play food, your child can also be silly and play with food in a way that is maybe not tolerated at dinner with real food. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise making special offers, writing signs, and politely greeting customers. Your child can practise taking payments and giving back change, which improves their math skills.
