Wooden Salad Toy Set for Kids Play Kitchen

A wooden salad set for the play kitchen — vegetables that split apart when "chopped" and go back together again, ready for the next meal.

How children play with it

Children slice each vegetable, arrange the pieces in the bowl and serve it to whoever is nearby. It is the kind of open-ended pretend play that children return to on their own, and it gives them a way to copy what they see happening in the real kitchen.

What it helps with

• Imaginative play — cooking, serving, running a restaurant, feeding the family
• Fine motor control — holding the vegetable steady while cutting takes two hands working together
• Language and social play — taking orders and naming ingredients gets children talking
• Getting familiar with vegetables — handling and naming them in play makes them ordinary and familiar

Details

• Solid wood pieces with a smooth, sanded finish
• Vegetables separate and rejoin so the set can be used again and again
• Sized for small hands
• Suitable for ages 3 and up

Safety

Contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years — choking hazard. Adult supervision is recommended during play.
