With the Little Chef Starter Set your child plays cook at the kitchen table. The box holds 14 kitchen accessories and 5 cans of Play-Doh in red, green, orange, yellow and white: four larger cans and one smaller one, 255 g of compound in total.
The chopping board comes in two parts and doubles as storage for the tools. Beyond that you get two toy knives for cutting slices off a roll of compound, three cutters, a roller, two fruit moulds, a garlic press for strands, an egg slicer and two plates to serve it all on.
Together that is enough to knead a whole menu: cutting vegetables, stamping out tarts, pressing strands and dressing the plate. The packaging says from 3 years. Nothing else is needed to start, and cans of Play-Doh already in the house fit straight in.
A familiar gift for preschoolers who like working with their hands, and a good first compound set for anyone who has not got one yet.
