The Educator's Note
  • Specific Vocabulary: It moves beyond generic 'food' to specific items like 'chorizo' and 'black pudding', expanding their descriptive language.
  • Sensory Contrast: The combination of rough natural wicker and smooth, cool wood offers a richer tactile experience than standard plastic sets.
  • Real-World Connection: It supports 'transporting' schemas and mirrors the real-world ritual of market shopping, grounding their role-play in reality.

Innovation & Imagination
Upgrade their play pantry with a touch of continental flair. Unlike lightweight alternatives, this set offers a textured, weighted experience that invites them to set up a deli counter or pack a gourmet picnic. The combination of the rough wicker basket and smooth wooden meats provides immediate sensory feedback. From 3 years, children move from simple feeding play to complex social scenarios. This set supports that transition, giving them the specific props they need to act out 'shopkeeper' or 'host', building vocabulary and social confidence as they serve up their charcuterie board.

Ideal for children who love role-play and parents who value natural materials.
  • The Little Host (3-5 years): For the child who loves setting the table and serving 'dinner' to the family.
  • The Market Trader (4+ years): Adds premium stock to their pretend shop, teaching value and exchange.
  • The Montessori Family: A plastic-free, realistic resource that aligns with practical life activities.

The Sunday Market Experience

There's a satisfying weight to these wooden meats that grounds play in reality. When a child picks up the chunky salami or the slice of ham, they're engaging with a toy that feels substantial. The inclusion of a genuine wicker basket (15.5 cm x 15.5 cm x 5.5 cm) adds another layer of sensory discovery—rough, woven natural fibres that contrast beautifully with the smooth, painted wood.

Building Social Scripts

Watch as they arrange the meats on a plate or offer you a 'sample' from their basket. This set is a conversation starter. It naturally prompts language development as they learn specific terms like 'chorizo', 'black pudding', and 'ham hock', moving beyond generic 'food' labels. It's the ideal prop for collaborative play, whether they are running a busy market stall, preparing a grazing platter for a tea party, or packing a lunch for a bear hunt.

Sustainable & Safe

Crafted from sustainable rubberwood and finished with safe, water-based stains, this set is built to survive the rough-and-tumble of the playroom while being gentle on the planet. The natural wood grain shows through the paint, maintaining that connection to nature even when they're indoors.
