Features and play possibilities

• Suitable from age 2 years.
• Functional kitchen: The cottage is equipped with a fridge, oven, gas hob, sink with tap and a till with a card reader. Together, these features create a real behind-the-scenes area for restaurant role play, where children can prepare, serve and sell their pretend dishes.
• Kitchen accessories: A drinks set, cutlery, sweet and savoury dishes, kitchen utensils, a pancake pan, pepper and salt shakers, ketchup and mustard are included—everything children need to prepare and serve delicious dishes in their own restaurant.
• Authentic appearance: The wood-effect embossed walls and roof tiles give the playhouse a distinctive character and help create an inviting setting for imaginative outdoor play.
• Menu boards: Children can write a menu or restaurant sign on the two boards, adding a personal touch to their play and choosing what their restaurant offers.
• Safe and durable material: The playhouse is made from 64% recycled plastic and has a UV-protective coating that helps prevent the colours from fading.

Creative play and learning

• Creativity and imagination: Children can create their own culinary stories, develop their imagination and learn through play to make menus, serve dishes and run their own restaurant.
• Social skills: Team play encourages communication and cooperation, while giving children the opportunity to practise social roles and enjoy role play together.
• Hand-eye coordination: Preparing food, cooking, arranging accessories and using kitchen utensils help children develop their motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
• Space planning: Children learn to organise the kitchen, keep things tidy and store accessories properly as they play.

The little chef’s playhouse is an ideal toy for introducing children to the world of cooking and restaurants. With its extensive equipment and practical functionality, it offers endless hours of creative play while helping children develop practical, social and organisational skills. From choosing what to put on the menu to preparing pretend food and serving friends, the cottage provides an engaging setting for children to imagine their own outdoor restaurant, play independently or cooperate with others, and explore the many roles involved in running a restaurant.
