Playing pretend not only encourages your child to use his imagination but it also allows your child to fit in with his peers and in this case, his family. Watching mom and dad go to the office every day or even watching mom or dad work in their office at home everyday can lead to the "I want to help"’s and while they are heartfelt attempts to grow closer to family members they can also be quite distracting if you are trying to work. Learning Resources has come up with a great play set that allows your child to play office along with you so while you work on your important tasks your child can imagine his or her own important tasks to complete as well!

I will begin today’s toy review by letting it be known that I am extremely wary about play foods because being that they are imitation food they are going to end up in someone’s mouth and the likelihood of choking is increased tenfold. That being said, for the correct age group play food can make an amazing gift and really add that special touch to a tea party with the dolls or a pretend party with friends. Haba has some really amazing play food products but being that chocolate is one of my favorite foods and being that this set of chocolates in a tin is so adorable I couldn’t help myself. The assorted chocolates with a tin from Haba comes with an

assortment of nine different shaped play chocolates each with their own decoration on top! The tin included in this set of play food measures 2.62"D x .88"H and the chocolates average dimensions are .78"W x .78"L x .60"H. The chocolate tin set meet various safety recommendations and are recommended for ages 3yrs+. I completely disagree with the 3yr+ age recommendation for the above stated reason so I would use your judgement on this one; however, I would personally bump the recommended age range for this one up to 7yrs.
Haba has a wide variety of play food products available; however, because they are so detailed retail stores rarely carry them, preferring to carry the cheap hollow plastic play foods. You can pick up your choice of Haba play foods from Amazon.com !
