@emma__laughlin I have absolutely loved watching Maddie play with her kitchen set she got for Christmas from ikeausa. I also love the fact that it’s another space I can decorate for holidays! 😆 (just now noticed that she turned around one of the gnomes in the last picture 😂 #toddlerlife) . The melissaanddougtoys cookie baking set has also been a popular toy lately! I love incorporating vocabulary into her play, and this one is perfect for “hot, sweet, oven, bake, cookie sheet, frosting, etc.” I have loved hearing her say those words while playing. There is so much value in play, and in dramatic play specifically.
