Develops essential skills that are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Gives your child lots of opportunities to unleash their imagination.
• In role play, your child creates their own universe or imitates us adults.
• Strengthens social skills, which, according to childcare professionals and teachers, are more important for children to practise than learning math and memorising the alphabet.

Measures 26 x 19,5 cm .
Suitable for children aged 2 yrs. to 7 yrs.

Toy food is ideal for role playing, which inspires your child to imitate real-life situations such as shopping, cooking, or going to a café. Talk about where our food comes from and what happens to it inside the body. This develops your child’s knowledge and vocabulary.

Role play lets children copy everyday situations, which builds up their understanding of the world around them. You can also expand your child's play opportunities by playing grocery store, maybe with little homemade signs with prices. That way, you can learn about both numbers and letters, and your child can gain confidence in calculating prices, giving back change, or greeting customers politely.

Do you know Learning Resources?

As you can tell from their name, it's essential for Learning Resources to provide children with materials that make learning fun.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a focal point at Learning Resources. For example, your child can learn to build robots, code, do experiments, and explore their world. For educators and teachers, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Sorting animals, coding dinosaurs, and math games can really add some fun to the teaching.
