Inspirational Toys for the Kids

Wooden Toy Set
For the grandkids’ birthdays this past summer my husband and I bought a Little Tikes outside playhouse which included a kitchen and attached picnic table. My son-in-law set it up in their backyard, and both kids, ages 1 and 3 enjoyed it well into the fall.
My granddaughter, ‘Lil Moomette, really enjoys following in her mom & dad’s footsteps by pretending to play “kitchen.”
I’m delighted to have the opportunity to let you know about a new wooden play food set manufactured by Melissa & Doug, fromGummy Lump.
The Slice and Bake Cookies set is both educational and inspirational as it inspires pretend play and introduces children to the world of baking and might encourage them to be the next Pillsbury Dough Boy or Betty Crocker!
Inside the wooden set are:
- 12 cookies and 18 colorful toppings
- spatula
- knife
- cookie sheet
- kitchen mitt
Even when choosing make-believe toys for my own girls, I always looked for items that would stimulate their own imaginations. “Baking Instructions” are included, but they’re not intended to be used with real food.
What I like about Melissa & Doug toys is that they use non-toxic coatings and meet or exceed all U.S. toy testing standards.
If you’re looking for a gift for the kids, grandkids, homeschool or run a daycare, put this activity toy on your list!
Gummy Lump also offers a large selection of educational special needs childrens toys, where you’ll be able to choose other Melissa and Doug products appropriate for specific needs.
Product Number: 4074
Manufacturer: Melissa & Doug
Size Box: 11.5″ x 9″ x 3″
Recommended Ages: 3 years and up

WOOHOO! My grandkids and I LOVE Melissa and Doug wooden toys including their wooden food products. They are so COOL to cut, serve, play with and enjoy. They’re especially great for grandkids with food allergies who might not get to eat certain food items. With these toys, they can have extra fun playing with them instead. Thanks for such a fun contest! I just added an email subscription
