A fruit and vegetable market for playing shop
Louis and Clémentine have their own fruit and vegetable shop, and now you can set it up at home too. The Djeco Fruit and Vegetable Shop includes an assortment of 12 soft plastic fruits and vegetables with a pleasant-to-the-touch finish, perfect for practicing that universal game of "playing shop": weighing, ringing up, choosing, and serving.
It's pure symbolic play: there's no single way to play, and that's precisely what makes it so valuable.
It's symbolic play in its purest form: there's no single way to play, and that's precisely what makes it so valuable.
One day it's a fruit shop, another a kitchen, another a street market—imagination decides the setting.
The soft, pleasant feel of the pieces also encourages confident handling: they can be stacked, sorted by type or color, put in and taken out of baskets or bags, adding motor play to the purely symbolic.
