A Wooden Play Food Set for Pretend Cooking This wooden play food set gives kids a kitchen full of fruits, vegetables and breakfast foods to slice, serve and share. The pieces are held together with hook-and-loop fasteners, so kids can "cut" them apart with the wooden toy knife and press them back together to play again. It's a natural match for a play kitchen, mud kitchen or market stand. Ways to Play Slice and serve: Cut each food apart on the cutting board and plate up a pretend meal. Shop and sell: Stock a play market and practice buying and selling. Count and sort: Sort by color or type, and learn whole, half and parts. Learning Through Pretend Play Kids love copying what they see grown-ups do in the kitchen. Slicing and pressing the pieces together builds fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while cooking and serving pretend meals builds language, imagination and early math concepts. Pair it with the Sumac outdoor mud kitchen and play market for even more pretend play. Made From Wood Every piece is made from smooth, painted wood and stores in its box between play sessions. Supervise young children during play.
