The
Table Manners kitchen set encourages
sharing, as children are
preparing and
serving food in their
imaginary games. Olivia was
entertained for many hours, making up stories and
scenarios; it's a toy that can be
played with on her own and with
friends.
Olivia
involved many of her other
toys in the fun and games, including
Teletubbies, and oversized dolls, which made the
play all the more exciting,
creating new and exciting characters to enter the shop. We thoroughly
enjoyed using different
voices for each
character.
I felt that Olivia's
concentration improved, something she often
struggles with. It helped her to
create new and imaginative ideas,
encouraging her to invent more realistic and fathomable ideas/ The
end result - she was
extremely pleased with Table Manners and
insisted we play again.
The
bright colours are attractive and, although some of the
pieces are quite
delicate, they are easy to use and each fit into a
designated slot, making all the shelving very
stable - preventing chaos!
Olivia enjoyed playing this on her own and with a friend. They really enjoyed the 'Caring Corners' set
Olivia is keen to
collect all the other parts to this game, apparently her
shop needs more
food! And I'm sure she will
convince me to buy
Mrs Goodbee's Doll's House eventually, and even the
whole gang to go with it!
