Win a Great Thanksgiving Toy From Melissa & Doug
This Apple Pie Set will make their holidays sweeter
by The Editors
Here's a foolproof recipe for a sweet Thanksgiving from our partners at Melissa & Doug:
Ingredients:
1 sliceable wooden apple
1 golden-brown pie crust and topper
1 pie plate
2 wooden utensils
1 printed oven mitt
1 wooden storage box
To play:
1. SLICE the wooden apple into four pieces.
2. FILL the pie pieces.
3. ADD the pastry topping.
4. "BAKE," SERVE, ENJOY!
Kids will have hours of fun using their Make & Serve Apple Pie Set to play "Bakery" or to host their own special holiday gathering. The 16 sturdy play pieces include a wooden apple whose four slices are held together by Velcro and slice apart with a realistic "crunch"! Each piece fits neatly in a pie-crust section to make four customized slices, which little bakers can lift and serve with their own oven mitts and servers.
This type of food play is ideal for encouraging creativity, language development, and narrative thinking. The wooden pieces make whimsical manipulative pieces, too: Four pie-crust pieces, four apple slices, four topping pieces, and lots of patterns, colors and shapes lead children naturally toward sorting and matching play, introducing or reinforcing early-math concepts. Activity ideas are included to encourage even more learning and fun!
Best of all, this charming set makes kids feel like an important part of a holiday focused around the hearth and home. They'll love "baking" alongside parents and grandparents, and imitating the way adults prepare a special family meal. Sharing "homemade" slices will keep them happy and busy during dinner, too, as cousins, siblings and "chefs" share quality family time with every slice!
