These fascinating food stones are an ideal multicultural resource, helping children to learn more about different cultures and their culinary heritage. These incredibly durable play foods can be used indoors and are especially ideal for use outdoors all-year-round.
These are the perfect complement to your outdoor mud kitchen. The incredibly durable food set, made from real stone, will outlast all other pretend play foods. The unprecedented sensorial experience will excite the children as they prepare, wash, cook and serve their culinary creations. The children will love using them in their play as inspiration for muddy feasts and global food festivals.
These play foods are not affected by soap, water or bleach, so they can be cleaned, scrubbed and sanitized as often as you wish. The children will have an opportunity to learn to wash each piece before preparing and serving, then clean up with real soap and water after the meal is consumed. They can also be used during sand and water play activities.
The set contains eight cultural foods: bao bun, empanada, kalitsounia, pizza, samosa, spring roll, sushi and taco. Each stone food piece is sized perfectly to fit a child's hand. Measures 2" - 3” each and is safe for ages 2 years+.
