Description: Kids love to play with real kitchen items. Take a large pot and use play food to cook a big batch of soup. They can request the food they want to put in the soup. Then, they can stir, pretend to put it on the stove, blow on it to cool it down and spoon it into bowls and hand it out to others.
Age: all ages
Purpose:
Pretend play
Object labelling
Extending verbs (stir, blow, give etc)
Prep time: minimal
What you’ll need: a pot, a spoon and some play food (or imagination)
Fun Factor: All kids enjoy using real household items. They enjoyed the sounds of dropping food in the pot and stirring it. It also resulted in a lot of pretend play scenarios.
Tip: The picture also shows noodles in the pot. If you use this in your play, make sure your child knows the difference between using noodles for play and for eating. If they don't know the difference or might put them in their mouth, stick with play food.
