Toy Kitchens & Play Food
Play kitchens are a very popular toy for children who love pretend play. It also can give an insight into organisational skills and real life skills. Because there is so much choice to use utensils, appliances and different foods the educational benefits are endless. Language skills can develop as they learn to stir or mix, whether food is hot or cold after they have chosen how to prepare it, even numeracy as they count the plates, weigh food or time the cooking length.
Our range is something we are proud of – from a wide selection of kitchens to smaller appliances such as coffee machines, blenders, tea sets and the cooking pots required the create the next generation of master chefs. You can even go to the shops and buy the food before preparing it, with our grocery sets, food crates or shopping accessories. Don’t forget the take-away option either, with pizza, coffees and smoothies.
Bon appétit!
