What does a child need to fully get used to the role of a cook? Practice shows that children often lack toy products for full-fledged role-playing games & ndash; for example, such as the Fruit set from Viga Toys for children from 18 months.
It consists of a wooden board with notches in which are neatly nested: a safety knife made of wood with rounded edges and four large fruits & ndash; strawberry, banana, apple, orange. All elements of the young cook's set are made of smooth polished wood, painted in juicy colors of warm shades.
With the help of a board and a knife, the baby can easily "cut" and serve any of the fruits. Each of them consists of two halves, which are connected by a comfortable textile clasp (Velcro).
It is very important that the child uses educational toys to imitate the activities of parents. Through imitation of adults, the child learns to perform many household tasks. At first he does it in game form. A little later, his childhood experience is transformed and transferred to real affairs.
The Viga Toys Fruit cookbook can be used as part of Reggio and Montessori techniques. With the help of such toys the child develops imagination, strengthens social skills, learns to take care of themselves in everyday life.
