Wooden Chocolate Factory Play Set

Supports the development of essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Gives your child all kinds 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 memorising letters and numbers.

Measures 35,7 x 19,5 x 19,5 cm.
Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.

Have conversations about what happens to food inside the body, where our food comes from, and when we usually eat it. This strengthens your child’s vocabulary and knowledge. Play food is ideal for imaginative play, which inspires your child to imitate real-life experiences such as shopping, cooking, or visiting a café.

Through role play, your child can gain experience with rules, boundaries, and opportunities for social interaction and identity formation. When a group of children play with play food together, they learn how to work together, communicate, compromise, and take turns. 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.

Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For many years now, the Toy Academy team has enjoyed a good relationship with the talented toy makers at the American toy company Melissa & Doug. The toy makers have great insight into which toys children play with the most, and which therefore give children's brains and bodies lots of learning by capturing their attention and stimulating their curiosity.

Every year, the Melissa & Doug collection bursts with new ideas, and our range is a goldmine of gift ideas for educational play. The toys are versatile and durable, and many of the items can be used in a number of different ways. This adds to the sustainability of the toys, as they offer lots of different play opportunities without additional consumption of the planet's resources and energy.
