Mating pan-tates

After watching Emma pretend to cook and bake with various baskets and pilphered kitchen utnsils I decided that I wanted to have a playkitchen for her to play with. My object was not to stifle her imagination but to help enhance her creative play with a few props. So I looked around online and decided on a playkitchen. I didn't want a plastic toy, so I saved up for a wooden one. Ta-da!


I then scoured the 'net for free crochet patterns for foods. This is what I have made so far.
In case you can't tell they are bacon, carrot (Sarah, the carrot remark still rankles! lol), tart (pie), strawberry, onion (looks more like garlic - actually pink garlic since Emma soaked it and the strawberry in a tub of water!), tomato, green apple and donut with sprinkles.
We found some pots and pans and wooden spoons at Target and now Emma will "cooking dinner" and "mating pan-tates" (making pancakes) with "it's hot mommy" pans. :o}
