Pots, Pans & Utensils Play Set, 7 pcs

This activity strengthens essential skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Strengthens your child's fine motor skills.
• Supports hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when cutting accurately with scissors, pouring a glass of water without spilling and making a mess, or when kicking or catching a ball that comes flying at us in PE class.
• Perfect for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and taking turns to lead. This strengthens your child's social skills.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

When playing with play furniture, your child can repeat familiar everyday scenarios in the kitchen or the supermarket. Also, some types of play furniture are great for getting your child ready for new experiences such as visiting the doctor's office or going to a restaurant. There are certain ways children are expected to behave in certain environments, and children can only try to live up to those expectations if they've had a chance to practise and experiment a bit beforehand, for example through play that involves using polite phrases, placing an order, or explaining symptoms. This type of play is also perfect if you have a child who is a bit nervous and shy around strangers.
