Their favourite family activity: mixing, pouring and baking cookies. Our least favourite activity: cleaning up the aftermath.
In an effort to ditch the mop and broom, we’ve found some toys that will let them have fun with their food, without any added cleanup. Catherine Désourdy, the owner of Melon Doux, has created (by hand!) toy food items including oranges ($6), apples ($7), carrots ($9) and a complete set of fruits or veggies ($35) packaged in a fabric shopping bag. The collection also features pizza ($25) and a sandwich ($15), as well as handmade superhero capes ($25) and regal crowns ($15).
So while they play restaurant or grocery store, the only crumbs we’ll have to clean up will be from the cookie we savour in the meantime. (Yum!)
