Play Food - Slice & Bake Cookie Set
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

What makes this product special
Play food is great for imaginative play, which inspires your child to imitate real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or going to a café. 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.
Role play where children copy everyday activities expands their understanding of the world around them. With play food, your child also gets to play and be silly with food in a way that is most likely not allowed at the table with real food. Also, you can expand your child's play opportunities by playing grocery store, maybe with little homemade signs with prices. That way, you can have fun with both words and numbers, and your child can gain confidence in calculating prices, giving back change, or greeting customers politely.
This activity strengthens essential skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- 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.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators, are more important for children to practise than learning math and memorising the alphabet.
