Toss in play foods made from wood or plastic and your cooks are busy conjuring up a gourmet meal. Pint sized with fun accessories kids are playing “restaurant” or have the leading role as the waiter or waitress. Kids love to take an order just like a real restaurant. They head over to the play kitchen to prepare the order. Once the food is cooked, it’s placed the pretend food on a platter and returned to their guest. Now they have just made a feast for the friends or maybe dolls and teddy bears.
