What did you find Inge? When I followed your link it wouldn't open proprely and the all I could see was a matress and a drill, the drill certainly looks more exciting than a plastic one but I'm assuming it wasn't what you had in mind?

Guest Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 When you click on the link, look at the menu bar on the right and click on toys - lots of exciting things turn up - must see if I can get some for Nursery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) when I go I get some toys come up... lets try this one.. toys if it fails to work go to toys and there are some lovely new items.. particularly the food ones.. machine washable and tumble dry cloth based items.. veggies in a box, fruit in a basket.. a dessert set, and a breakfast set. I always hated the plastic stuff but found real ended up being poked into tiny holes and irretrievable or left for weeks hidden in a corner unseen... we did use it but had to be really careful with supervision and checks when we did not always have time for it. thought this could be a good compromise..

fay Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Love them, the food looks really inviting to touch or eat good job it's washable too. I do like having real things too but have had the same problems Inge. Last year we managed real cutlery and crockery, and occasionally food, it was wonderful to see how differently they played with it. Sadly this year we have a couple of very determined throwers and smashers so they have gone for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ooh love it!!!! my group not able to cope with real food at present (won't go in to details) but these at least fire the imagination a bit more shame we can't negotiate group rates for ikea it might save us a fortune!

Guest Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I've picked them up and put them down many times. I thought they were a tad expensive for the size of them.Great for the under 3's or home use. I have a full set of patterns for knitted food but never got around to finding someone who will knit them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
