Future TV Chef
When children role-play, they re-enact everyday activities such as cooking or baking.
One of the greatest benefits of engaging in play-based activities for children is the opportunity for simulating what they see their parents or guardians doing at home, as well as language development.
Kitchen activities overlap into science, art, growing and building.
Children express their ideas and opinions and build on their vocabulary of descriptive words as they explain what they are creating, or what they would like to create.
Playcentre resources can include
Stove
Cooking pots
Cooking utensils
Plastic or wooden fruit and vegetables
Items for washing dishes
Familiar role-themed costumes, e.g. chef hats and aprons
Tea set and cutlery
