Little Chef Cooking & Serve Play Set

by Hape

A Hape pretend cooking and serving set for the child who loves turning family mealtime into their own proud little routine.

There is a funny stage when family dinner stops being something your child just eats and becomes something they want to run. The Little Chef Cooking & Serve Play Set gives them the pot, pan, plates and utensils to cook up a pretend meal, set it out carefully, and serve it to the people waiting at their table.

The very serious pretend meal

Some afternoons, pretend dinner starts long before real dinner does. Your child gathers the pot, pan, plates and utensils, decides what everyone is having, and works through the whole ritual from cooking to serving. You might be handed a plate with a very firm instruction to try it, or told to wait because it is still cooking. It is simple play, but it feels familiar because it comes straight from the way family life already works.

Product overview

The play grows because the meal is never quite the same

Children often replay the parts of family life that feel warmest to them: the stirring, the setting out, the calling everyone over. With this set, at first your little one may simply bang about with the pot and pan. Soon, the plates are lined up with great care. Before long, someone is being told to sit down because dinner is ready. Some days they cook for you, other days a toy or friend gets a plate, and eventually the whole routine becomes their own little way of caring for everyone around them.

Still have a question? Our team is here to help.

Can siblings use it together or take turns?

The play is built around cooking and serving a pretend meal to family and friends, so it naturally lends itself to taking turns with roles. One child can cook, another can be served, then they can swap.
