"Fruit salad, yummy yummy..."

Your little will:

• Practice role play and imaginative play by putting/taking foods in and out of shopping basket (also has handles so can be carried) and correctly using cutting board and knife to "cut" them 
• Explore the forces of push and pull via magnets
• Practice matching the two halves of each food item 
• Practice their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by "cutting" the foods
• Review the names of foods as well as the colors on each painted wooden piece
• Review and practice numbers and counting
