Benefits of playing with Play Food

Play food is an essential tool for imaginative and pretend play in children. These miniature food toys can be used to imitate real-life situations, such as cooking and eating, and can help children develop important life skills, such as problem-solving, social skills, and creativity.

Play food can also help children learn about healthy eating habits and nutrition. They can pretend to cook and eat a balanced meal and learn about different food groups and the importance of a healthy diet. This can also encourage them to try new foods and develop a positive relationship with food.

In addition to these educational benefits, play food can also help children develop their fine motor skills. Holding and manipulating small items such as play food and utensils can strengthen hand muscles and improve dexterity, which is an important precursor to more complex skills like writing and typing.

Food

I love wooden play food. I’ve tried the plastic play food and wooden is by far better and last longer. I find that with the plastic food it breaks and doesn’t keep its form. My top favorite play food is the number 1 I listed in the picture below. I got this set when they were two years old and they loved using the knife to cut the food. Its my number one choice! Melissa and Doug also has a cute wooden set that is a little cheaper. Link to food below pictures.

Toaster

Thought I’d post on my feed because a lot of you Thought I’d post on my feed because a lot of you have said you don’t see my stories anymore.  My aunt and uncle are taking my boys to visit my parents in Canada. I wanted a break and my parents wanted to see the boys so this just worked out so well! 

Going to be getting all the stuff done this week that I’ve been wanting to do, but I hope I plan in fun/relax time as well! 

Comment “Canada” to get a DM and see the video of our last trip to Canada where my parents saw the boys for the first time since they moved. It’s so cute!
How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just to How I’ve been feeling lately 😞 it’s just too much! Anyone else feel like this? 

Maybe we aren’t suppose to be doing it all at once but when I let some things go I feel guilty. It makes sense we are meant to have a partner in life. Playing both roles is weighing on me. Hard to be mom and dad, managing the home, be the only income. At the end of the day if something needs to get done it’s on me. No one to lean on or go through it with. 😢 #singleparents #youngwidow #widow #parenting #lifequotes #quotes
