Pretend play toys that let toddlers act out their day

Wooden Pretend PlayKitchen Play SetsRole Play Toys

Pretend play is when a child acts out make-believe: feeding a doll, cooking a meal, running a shop. It is also called imaginative play or role play, and toddlers begin it by copying what they see at home.

Around 18 months, many toddlers start to copy what they see: stirring a pot, pouring a drink, putting a teddy to bed. Pretend play toys give that play a home. A small kitchen, a shop counter or a doll house lets your toddler act out familiar routines, try out new words and take turns with you. Our role play sets are made for ages 18 months to 4 years and are easy to start, with no batteries or screens.

Choose by age

18 months to 2 years: simple, few-piece toys such as crochet veggies, animal finger puppets and a watering can. Short, easy ideas work best.

2 to 3 years: kitchen sets, a toaster, a coffee maker and a pizza set, so your toddler can cook, serve and share.

3 to 4 years: a shopkeeper set, a doll house and the build-and-play dinosaurs, for longer stories with several characters.

Wooden kitchen set and cooking toys for toddlers

A toy kitchen set is often a toddler's first pretend play favourite. Our wooden Mini Chef Kitchen lets your child stir, cook and serve a pretend meal, and the toaster, coffee maker and pizza set add new games as they grow. Start with the kitchen, then add one accessory at a time.

What to look for in a pretend play set

Realistic but simple: toys that look like the real thing, with pieces small hands can hold, so your toddler can copy what they see.

Sturdy and smooth: look for solid builds and a smooth finish without rough edges.

Open-ended: toys that work for many games, from a cafe to a bakery, keep play going for longer.

Easy to tidy: sets that stack or sit on a shelf make clean-up part of the game.

Ways to play

Cook a pretend breakfast together and ask your toddler what to make. Open the shop and take turns being the shopkeeper and the customer. Use the finger puppets to say hello, or water the plants with the watering can. Follow your toddler's lead and add a word or two as you play. There is no right way to do it.
