A hand-woven wicker basket brimming with solid wood fruit that brings the farmer's market experience straight to the playroom.

Real Wicker Texture – Authentic sensory feedback
Solid Rubberwood – Durable and sustainable
Non-Toxic Paints – Safe for everyday play

The Educator's Note

The combination of real wicker and smooth wood offers a rich sensory experience that plastic alternatives simply cannot match.
It supports specific vocabulary development as children learn to identify and name distinct fruits like 'tangerine' and 'kiwi' rather than just generic shapes.
The open basket design naturally encourages 'transporting' schemas—the developmental urge to move items from place to place—in a socially engaging way.

💡 Creativity

There is something universally satisfying about carrying a basket with a handle—it gives children a sense of purpose and independence. This set replaces flimsy plastic with the grounding weight of solid wood and the tactile crunch of real wicker. From around 3 years, children move from simple handling to complex symbolic play. This basket becomes a prop for elaborate market stalls, picnic setups, and play kitchen adventures, supporting their growing ability to act out the world they see around them.

Also available in a great value bundle

This set is ideal for children who are beginning to construct their own narratives through play.

The Market Trader (3–5 years) who loves setting up shop and exchanging goods.
The Picnic Planner who enjoys organising tea parties and outdoor feasts.
The Vocabulary Builder learning to name specific fruits and colours.

Market Day at Home

Turn the living room into a bustling local market. The authentic wicker basket invites children to take on the role of a shopper or stallholder, encouraging the rich social dialogue that comes with buying and selling. You will hear them negotiating prices, describing the 'freshness' of their produce, and organising their wares—play that naturally builds vocabulary and social confidence.

Sensory Contrast

Unlike standard plastic play food, this set offers a distinct sensory experience. The rough, natural texture of the hand-woven wicker basket contrasts beautifully with the smooth, cool finish of the solid rubberwood fruit. Handling the bunch of grapes, half-kiwi, watermelon slice, pear, plum, and tangerine gives little hands varied shapes and weights to explore, refining their grip and dexterity.

Built for Real Life

Measuring approximately 15.5cm x 15.5cm x 5.5cm, the basket is perfectly sized for small hands to carry but substantial enough to hold a generous harvest. It fits neatly into most play kitchens or on a nursery shelf, keeping the fruit organised when the market closes for the day. The water-based paints allow the natural wood grain to show through, creating a warm, timeless aesthetic that lasts for years.
