{"product_id":"plantoys-condiment-set","title":"PlanToys Condiment Set","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlanToys Condiment Set adds a delightful finishing touch to any play kitchen, cafe corner or home corner set-up, inviting children to \"season\"  their pretend meals with a dash of imagination. Featuring wooden bottles and a shaker with blank, writeable labels, children can decide which is ketchup, mustard, chilli sauce or something entirely new as they pour, shake and serve. As they twist, grasp and position each piece, they are not only building fine motor control but also language, social skills and confidence in role-play. Made from sustainably sourced rubberwood with non-toxic, child-safe finishes, this compact set is ideal for tabletop play, dramatic play corners and small-world restaurant scenarios. Whether children are taking orders, hosting a barbecue, or serving lunch to friends and teddies, the Condiment Set encourages creative storytelling, sharing and cooperative play in early years and lower primary settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports imaginative and socio-dramatic play as children act out real-life meal times and restaurant scenarios.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelops fine motor skills, grasp strength and hand-eye coordination as children pour, shake and position the condiments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds early language and communication skills through role-play conversations, taking orders and describing flavours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages social skills such as turn-taking, sharing, negotiation and simple problem-solving during cooperative play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; Play Activity Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd to a home corner or cafe role-play area and invite children to \"take orders\"  and dress meals using the condiments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the blank labels for a literacy mini-task, asking children to name, label or draw their chosen sauces or spices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate into numeracy play by counting how many \"shakes\"  or \"squirts\"  each meal needs and comparing quantities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up a restaurant small-world scene with menus and play food, encouraging children to rotate roles (chef, server, customer).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 years+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach set includes wooden bottles with blank writable labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, and water-based dyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for safe pretend play with rounded edges and non-toxic finishes‚  \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42939007697009,"sku":"PT3636","price":39.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/pt3636_plantoys-condiment-set_v1_5.jpg?v=1768371314","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/plantoys-condiment-set","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
