All the Ways to Play:

  1. Smoothie Set:

    One of our absolute favorite toys for the play kitchen! It’s great for your toddler to work on sequencing, following directions, and improving bilateral coordination skills. Talk about what foods go in and model words like “mix, spin, pour!”

    Functional Language: pan, pot, bang, stir, spoon, cook, sizzle, pour

  3. Make-a-Cake Mixer Set:

    Your sitting baby will love to turn and open/close the mixer, while your toddler will love using their pretend play and bilateral coordination skills to make you a cake! Model cracking eggs, slicing the butter, pouring the batter, and mixing the ingredients.
