The older the child gets, the more difficult it is to choose a gift for him. The present should interest him for a long time, and interaction with it should be beneficial for development. A children's kitchen is a good option. Young ladies like to repeat after their mothers and try to "feed" their family of toys and parents, as adults do. If you notice that the girl plays this way, choose the appropriate set.
Why is this a good gift?
Any role-playing game is the development of imagination. The kid imagines himself in the place of a chef, a waiter or the owner of some establishment. He tries to come up with interesting recipes for dishes in order to “feed” everyone who wants to eat. This approach promotes the development of creativity, creative thinking. In life, this will allow you to approach problem solving in an unconventional way. Everyday skills are formed. From an early age children's kitchens teach the child:
- handle utensils;
- learn the rules of table setting;
- remember what products are used to prepare dishes.
In the future, it will be easier for the baby to adapt to independent life. The objects in the play sets are small. Sorting them, the child develops fine motor skills. Each movement should be precise so as not to catch or knock over anything, not to spoil the "dish". This develops coordination. During the game, parents can teach the child to distinguish between healthy and not so healthy products. In this way, it is easier to instill a love for vegetables, cereals and explain that sweets are dessert and are eaten after the main meal. Also show how best to cook a dish so that it is as healthy as possible. Having a children's kitchen in the house is a reason to invite friends over and play role-playing games with them. This allows you to hone your communication skills, teaches you to solve problems diplomatically, and interact in a team. It is also important for adults to get involved in the game process, guide, and teach the younger generation.
