Your kids can stock up their play kitchen shelves with all the groceries they need with the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Play Food. This play kitchen food has all the staples that is necessary for any little cook to whip up some quick pretend meals or snacks. No one will go hungry in a play house with all of the choices. This set will make it fun for them to go grocery shopping. They can use some pretend money to buy items and bring it “home” and put it away. They may even want to set up their own little corner neighborhood grocery store. If this is the case, it would be a blast for them if they had a little cash register to ring up all of the items their customers will buy. They could even put some little price tags on each item. These are just a few of the things we could come up with for how little kids might do with this. In a kids’ imaginary play, there are always a stream of never-ending ideas to keep their little hands and minds busy all the time.
In the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Play Food set, everything is labeled and has great detail to make it look like mommy’s cabinets or fridge. This comes with 10 items that will look so cute in their play kitchen. While these are wooden, they have quite a bit of detail that makes them look close enough to their real food counterparts. They will last so much longer than if the boxes were made of cardboard or flimsy plastic. It consists of spaghetti, ketchup, soup, sugar, cereal, pretzels, rice, waffles, orange juice and mustard.
As we said before, these are all the staples any good kitchen must have on hand. If they have some play pots and pans and dishes, their kitchens will be fully equipped to fix just about any meal or snack. If they don’t have these, you should definitely consider adding these to their kitchen collection. Little ones can spend a good deal of their day playing house, and all of this will create a wonderful little play world for them.
We like just about any children’s product line that encourages imaginary play. The Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Play Food does just this because once again this company has come up with another product that has endless possibilities for pretend play. We have said this before, and we will say it again; products that are made from wood just hold up better than ones that are made from plastic or cardboard. We compare this to kids’ wooden puzzles versus the cardboard ones. The wooden ones do not bend; therefore they are not easily torn or broken. The food items in this product can be thrown around, buried in toy boxes, taken outside, and they can last through more than one child in a family. You money is well spent, and the kids are happy. You just can’t ask for more.
