Play Food - Fish & Seafood Basket, 7 pcs
A lovely handwoven basket with hand-painted wooden fish and seafood.Â
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.
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

Measures 15,5 x 15,5 x 5,5 cm.Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.
Toy food is great for role playing, which inspires your child to copy real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or being in a café. Talk about where our food comes from and what happens to it inside the body. This expands your child’s vocabulary and knowledge.
Role play where children act out everyday activities develops their understanding of the world they live in. With play food, your child also gets to play with food in a way that is probably not allowed at the table with real food. Also, you can expand your child's play opportunities by playing grocery store, maybe with homemade signs with prices. That way, you can have fun with both words and numbers, and your child can build up their confidence practising polite phrases and adding up small sums.
Helps develop essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Gives your child all kinds of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
- In role play, your child imitates us adults and experiments with everyday situations or their own universe.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators and childcare professionals, are more important for children to practise than learning math and memorising the alphabet.
