Summer Birthday Bash! Learning Resources Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set Review & Giveaway



Both of my girls love to play with pretend food. I think all little girls do. We have a little kitchen set, but didn't come with many pots, pans, and dishes. We have been looking for a set that has lots of pieces and that would really make them feel like they were cooking, just like their dad who is a chef. We found just what we were looking for at Learning Resources.  They have tons of pretend & play sets that are perfect for kids of all ages.  All of their toys and games provide hours of pretend play fun and many of them also teach kids math, science, history and more.



For our review, we received the Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set. The set comes with thirteen fun pieces including pots, frying pans, an oven mitt, 2 spatulas, and utensils.  It even has some play foods to cook up like chicken, corn, carrots, and eggs. My daughters are eleven and two, and they both loved this set. Even my nine year old son wanted to play. They had a great time frying up eggs and making chicken soup. My kids played with this set for hours, and it gives me the hope that they will definitely want to take over out restaurant someday. It was so cute watching Willow pretending to eat her corn on the cob. At only $24.99, this set is the perfect toy for any aspiring chef.




The Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set is only one examples of dozens of fun toys and games available at Learning  Resources for kids of all ages. Their website is simple to navigate. You can shop by category or by age. Be sure to check out their sale section for savings on already low prices. If you don't have any birthdays coming up, remember that its never too early to get a head start on your holiday shopping. You can find lots of fun options to encourage imagination at Learning Resources.  Plus with their educational games, you can teach your kids something new and they will be having so much fun they won't even realize its educational.

One very lucky winner is going to receive the same Pretend & Play Pro Chef Set that I received to review.
