It always seems like toddlers find the most dangerous things interesting. A bright and burning stove? Fascinating. A billowing heap of smoke? Nothing short of magnificent. And while redirecting a toddler’s curious missteps can be a full-time job, finding ways to embrace their all-questioning nature through safe but similar outlets can be a good way to help them feel included and allow you finally take a seat.
The Melissa & Doug Wooden Deluxe Barbecue Grill, Smoker, and Pizza Oven Playset is a great alternative to finding your toddler’s hands near an actual burning grill this summer. The wooden playset includes an array of features such as a pizza oven, a wooden BBQ grill, and a smoker, complete with wooden and felt play food and condiments, durable utensils, a frying pan, and a wooden pizza paddle. Little grill masters ages 3 and up can fire up imaginative pretend play with tons of interactive details like a built-in timer, dials that raise and lower the “flames,” felt toppings, sliceable double-sided play food pieces, and much more.
The playset includes tons of teachable elements that can help toddlers develop fine motor skills, sorting, and counting skills. Budding chefs can count the number of pretend wooden chips they place into the smoker box before creating make-believe barbecue favorites by placing the uncooked side on the grill, griddle, or side burner, setting the built-in timer, pretending to baste, and flipping it with the included tools to the cooked side (which is obviously adorned with grill marks). Kids can even use the removable thermometer to press holes in the wooden play food to see if it is ‘done.’
With more than 60 accessories, it might cross your mind that things could get lost pretty easily. However, with tons of storage space, this playset can be easily tucked away for future use. All play food pieces store neatly on the grill and storage shelf. Additionally, the playset is FSC certified, so the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that protect forests for future generations.
Appoint your preschooler as the unofficial chef of grilling season with the Wooden Deluxe Barbecue Grill, Smoker, and Pizza Oven Playset! Who knows? Maybe their steak will turn out better than your husband’s.
