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.  

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.  

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.

Here, important skills are engaged, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

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

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 is great for your child’s knowledge and vocabulary. Play food is great for imaginative play, which inspires your child to copy real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or going to a café.

Role play is a way for children to imitate everyday tasks and activities, which develops their understanding of the world around them. You can also use the play food to play grocery store and practise greeting customers, writing signs, and calculating special offers. Your child can practise taking payments and giving back change, which is great for practising their math skills.
