Fire up the imagination while firing up this pretend play BBQ with all the "fixins" for a fantastic feast! The 20-piece wooden food set includes grilling favorites like hotdog, hamburger, chicken, steak, ribs, veggie burger, and corn, plus tasty toppings and sturdy utensils. Flip the sturdy corrugated box over and it becomes the "grill," with pictures of knobs for adjusting the temperature and four self-stick tabs to hold the food. Double-sided food pieces show one side uncooked--flip the pieces with the tongs or spatula, and the other side appears cooked! Use the buns to make a sandwich with fresh toppings. Self-stick tabs hold some of the items together, and then make a satisfying crunch when cut apart with the kid-friendly knife. Serve it all up on the included paper checkered placemat. After mealtime, use the grill/corrugated box as a handy storage place for all the items! The Wooden Grill & Serve BBQ Set promotes hand-eye coordination, creative expression, and imaginative play. The Melissa & Doug Wooden Grill & Serve BBQ Set is an ideal gift for ages 3 to 5. Add the Melissa & Doug Let's Play House! Condiment Set to round out the hands-on, screen-free play experience. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.
