About this item

• Planning and organizing are important skills that children learn, which help them improve their time management and learn how to prioritise. In the play kitchen, there can be lots of scenarios that children can play out that will also help them develop these skills. Like, planning how long a meal takes to cook, arranging who will sit where at the dinner table and organizing who will do the washing up afterwards.
• Children can practice communicating with each other about what needs doing in the kitchen, stocking up the fridge or pretending to put a load of laundry on to wash. Children can chat about cooking and cleaning as they play, which can help to broaden their language and communication skills too.
• By using a play kitchen set, children can inspire their imagination. Perhaps they will play in the role of a star chef for the day, host a dinner party for friends or hold a cooking competition. Through taking on different roles in the play kitchen, children can have the freedom to express their creativity and experiment in their way, in the comfort of their own home.
• Whether they are playing the role of head chef, waiter, kitchen porter or parent at home, play kitchens allow children to imagine themselves in new roles.
