Play Food - Multicultural Food Set, 15 pcs

Children’s worlds are wonderfully multicultural, and learning that families eat different foods is a wonderful thing.  

Playing with these lovely foods from around the world invites your child to explore, ask questions, and learn what meals might look like in other homes – and maybe at a friend’s house, too. 

Contents: 

Cheese, bread, avocado, croissant, samosa, taco, edamame beans, a bowl of rice, sushi, a slice of pizza, etc. 

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Gives your child lots of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• Great for role play, where children practise taking turns to lead and finding their own place in the game. This develops your child's ability to cooperate and show empathy.
• In this way, you can strengthen your child's language through play.

Suitable for children aged 18 mos. to 5 yrs.

Talk about where food comes from, when we typically eat it, and where it goes after we swallow it. This helps expand your child’s vocabulary and knowledge. Play food is fantastic for role play, which inspires your child to imitate real-life situations such as cooking, shopping, or being in a café.

Role play is a way for children to act out real-life activities, which expands their understanding of the world they live in. 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 is a great way of practisting their math skills.

Do you know Learning Resources?

Providing children with materials that make learning fun is important for Learning Resources - as their name suggests.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a focal point at Learning Resources. For example, your child can learn about coding, doing experiments, exploring their world, and building robots. For educators and teachers, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Math games, coding dinosaurs, and sorting animals can really be a breath of fresh air in the classroom.
