Description
The Wooden Slicing Fruit Set gives little chefs a hands-on way to prepare their own pretend snacks. The set includes six familiar fruits that separate into halves with a wooden knife, then stick back together with Velcro ready to slice all over again.
Children can practise cutting and matching as they prepare colourful meals in their play kitchen. The repeated cutting action also encourages fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while adding an interactive element to imaginative cooking and role play.
