Play Food - Fish & Seafood Basket, 7 pcs

A lovely handwoven basket with hand-painted wooden fish and seafood. 

Includes lobster, butterfish, mackerel, herring, scallop, shrimp, and roach.

Perfect for role play, where your child can copy everyday situations like grocery shopping, cooking, or running a little café. It’s a great way to expand your child's knowledge and vocabulary by chatting about where food comes from, when we usually eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. When children act out everyday activities through role play, they build a better understanding of the world around them. With play food, your child can explore food in ways that might not be allowed with real ingredients or at the dinner table. Through play, children experiment with rules, boundaries, social interaction, and their own sense of identity. You can also take play a step further by setting up a little shop, maybe with small signs and prices. It’s a fun way to explore numbers and letters together and encourage your child to practise good manners and simple math. When children play together with play food, they learn to cooperate, take turns, communicate, and compromise.

The activity helps your child develop skills and is wonderful for your child's well-being:

• Encourages your child to let their imagination fly.
• In role play, your child creates their own universe or imitates us adults.
• Helps your child to practise their social skills in a safe home environment.

Measures 15,5 x 15,5 x 5,5 cm.
Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

Toy food is ideal for role play, which inspires your child to copy real-life experiences such as shopping, cooking, or being in a café. 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.

Through role playing, your child can gain experience with boundaries, rules, and opportunities for identity formation and social interaction. When the children play together with play food, they practise how to work together, communicate, compromise, and take turns. 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 practise taking payments and giving back change, which is great for practising their math skills.
