Garden Fruits & Vegetables

Description

The Garden Fruit & Vegetables are a great way for toddlers to learn about the rewards a garden can bring! Each lifelike fruit and vegetable can be pulled apart, peeled, or sliced -- as if it were the real thing! This soft plastic food set includes lettuce, pineapple, orange, banana, pea pod, cauliflower, onion, peach, an ear of corn and and a plastic knife for "cutting" fruits and veggies. This learning toy is perfect as a playset!

Why we love it

The Garden Fruits & Vegetables are great for a 2 year old because they teach children how to use a pretend knife and cut and they are also learning about good eating habits to stay healthy.

Product Features

• Expand your child’s vocabulary and food repertoire.  Use these Garden Fruits & Vegetables to help start a dialogue about healthy eating choices.
• Your child will enjoy cutting these vegetables and using them to cook.  Add a puppet or doll and your child can pretend to play restaurant or store with these foods.
• Children like to carry tote bags – this one can be used to store the groceries or other items your child wants to bring along.  Play a guessing game: pick an item from the bag and describe it to your child. Have them guess what it is, without looking.
• Play a categorization game and group the foods by color or texture (soft or crunchy).
• Develop pre-math skills of counting and fractions, number-item association, and half vs. whole.
• When your child gets a little older they will enjoy helping you in the kitchen! Cooking activities are a wonderful way of teaching new vocabulary (verbs, adjectives) and sequencing skills, not to mention that it is a great way to spend time with your child.
