Most likely if you have a child between the ages of 2 and 10 you know that they love imitation play.
My boys have always loved their kitchen sets. In fact, I don’t think I’ll ever not have one. We’ve been through 2 of the Step 2 Dream Kitchens , we are loving our Farmers Market, and I am so excited to say the children are getting an Elves & Angels Kitchen for Christmas. I can’t wait.
Since I have been having a blast making up their gift sets this year, I thought I would make up a Restaurant gift set to go with their new kitchen.
Every restaurant needs a sign, So I made this simple sign using the computer, added a few fun stickers and laminated it. I think B’s Bistro works perfect for us, because all of our children have B names. You can come up with a fabulous name for your kids restaurant too.

Every Restaurant needs menu’s, so I printed these up- added prices (perfect for getting living math into the day), a few stickers, laminated it and I think they turned out great. Play food is a must for every restaurant. I like to go with Plan Toys wooden food,
Melissa and Doug, and Hape- Playfully Delicious. I have found these to be our favorites.

If you are going to make up a fabulous “Restaurant Gift Set”, why not go all out. Add in some pretty linens. I think the children really enjoy the way it looks and feels, when you add in something special.
This is my waiter, taking my order. (smile) You can use a small dry erase board, or add Guest Check pads to your gift set.
At the end of our meal, I have to pay. You can’t go wrong with the Hape cash register, the boys love their’s.

That is our Fabulous and Fun “Restaurant Gift Set”, an invitation to play.
Perfect for every child that loves playing kitchen.

December 16, 2013 at 9:51 amNow why did they not have toys as good as these when I was a child? Haha. I no longer have small kids but I would definitely want one like this for my future grandchildren. π
