FAQ
What age is play food suitable for?
Most play food sets are suitable from around 18 months to 2 years, once children are past the stage of putting everything in their mouths. Sets with smaller pieces are generally recommended from age 3. Always check the age guidance on individual products before purchasing.
Is wooden play food better than plastic?
Wooden play food is popular for its durability, natural feel and timeless aesthetic. It tends to be heavier and more satisfying to handle than plastic alternatives, and many wooden sets include realistic details like Velcro-fastened sliceable pieces that add an extra element of engagement to play.
Are play food sets good for development?
Yes, play food and kitchen sets support a wide range of developmental skills. They encourage imaginative and role play, build language and communication through storytelling and social play, develop fine motor skills through handling and sorting, and can even help introduce children to new foods and healthy eating habits in a relaxed and playful way.
Do play food sets make good gifts?
Play food sets make brilliant gifts for toddlers and young children. They are open-ended, versatile and tend to be played with consistently over many years. A beautifully made Djeco food set or Bigjigs wooden kitchen accessory makes a particularly lovely and lasting present.
