Feed the imagination with this beautifully crafted wooden
play food set! It includes 21 hand-painted solid wood pieces that can be mixed
and matched to create a balanced ‘meal.’ The wide variety of items includes
cheese, milk, watermelon, tomato, bread, fish, egg, steak, and much more! Four
wooden crates (5.25 inches x 5.25 inches each) are included to sort the food
into groups – dairy, produce (for fruits and vegetables), grains, and meat and
fish. Kids can also sort by color or use the crates to combine foods to serve
up pretend-play meals. This sturdy and colorful realistic wooden food set will
satisfy kids’ hunger for hands-on play and can nourish cognitive development,
too! It helps introduce the basics of nutrition, and can be used to teach
early number skills, color recognition, sorting, and grouping. The smooth,
solid wood pieces are sized for small hands to help promote fine motor skills
and dexterity. The collection will spur creative play and encourage budding
young chefs to explore healthy food for years to come. Brand Story By Melissa
