Play Food - Fruit Basket, 6 pcs
When you want to make a healthy snack for the dolls and their friends, this fruit basket is just the thing – with a kiwi, a pear, a bunch of grapes, a tangerine, a plum, and a slice of watermelon, all beautifully arranged in a lovely wicker basket. Â
Perfect for role play, where your child can copy everyday situations like grocery shopping, cooking, or running a little café. It’s a great starting point for chatting about where food comes from, when we usually eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. Â
When children act out everyday activities through role play, they build a better understanding of the world around them. With play food and play kitchens, 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.
Talk about where food comes from, when we typically eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. This develops your child’s knowledge and vocabulary. Toy food is fantastic for role playing, which inspires your child to imitate real-life experiences such as shopping, cooking, or visiting a café.
Role play where children imitate everyday activities expands their understanding of the world they live in. With play food, your child also gets to play with food in a way that is maybe not acceptable at mealtime with real food. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise greeting customers, writing signs, and calculating special offers. Your child can take payment at the cash register and give back change, which is great for their math skills.
This activity develops important skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Excellent for group role play, where little ones learn about taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game.
- Inspires your child to practise their social skills in a safe environment at home.
