Description
The Wooden Slicing Vegetables Set gives little chefs a hands-on way to prepare their own pretend meals. The set includes six familiar vegetables 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 lunches and soups 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.
