Frequently Asked Questions

What to Consider When Choosing Play Food?


First, think about the age of the child. For toddlers, look for large, chunky pieces without small detachable parts to reduce choking hazards. For older children, more detailed wooden or plastic play food can enhance realism and encourage role play and early cooking concepts.


Material matters. Wooden play food offers a satisfying heft and durability, while plastic options can be easier to clean and come in vibrant colors. If you prioritise sustainability, choose FSC-certified wood or BPA-free plastics and check the cleaning instructions to keep pieces looking fresh.


Consider storage and portability. Compact sets with clear lids or fabric organizers help keep pretend kitchen worlds organized, especially for smaller living spaces or travel-friendly play corners.


What Are the Most Popular Types of Play Food?


Wooden fruit and vegetable sets remain a timeless favourite for tactile exploration and pretend meal creation. Pair them with wooden or felt cutlery, a wooden chopping board, and a safe pretend knife to encourage cutting play and hand–eye coordination.


Plastic pretend foods, like pizza, sandwiches, and cupcakes, offer bright colours and easy cleaning, making them ideal for classroom-style play or busy households where mess is a concern. Felt foods provide soft, lightweight alternatives perfect for sensory play and imaginative storytelling.


For younger children, feel-good starter sets with simple shapes help introduce counting, shapes, and basic nutrition concepts while keeping playtime lighthearted and fun.


How to Maintain and Clean Play Food?


Cleaning depends on the material. Wooden play food generally benefits from a quick wipe with a damp cloth and a brief, air-drying period to prevent moisture damage. Plastic pieces can usually be wiped down with mild soap and water or placed on a low heat setting in the dishwasher if the manufacturer approves it. Always check care labels to maintain colour and integrity over time.


Storing in a dry, dust-free container helps preserve the finish and keeps pieces free from mould or mildew, especially in humid climates. Regularly inspecting pieces for loose parts and reattaching them promptly keeps play safe and enjoyable for longer.


Keep your child engaged with a wide range of play food options. At Wowcher, you’ll discover deals on wooden fruit sets, plastic pretend food bundles, pretend kitchen accessories, and beginner cooking kits that ignite imagination while teaching practical skills.


How Does Play Food Support Learning and Development?


Play food naturally invites children to count, sort by colour or size, and understand nutrition concepts through storytelling. Pretend play with realistic foods supports language development as kids describe textures, flavours, and recipes. Role play with a pretend kitchen helps develop social skills like sharing, cooperation, and turn-taking, while fine motor practice improves dexterity with safe kitchen tools and utensils.


For parents and educators, incorporating play food into learning activities is a simple way to blend education with fun. Look for bundles that combine multiple food groups, a variety of textures, and easy-clean materials to keep kids motivated and engaged during playtime.
