Play Food and Toys for Tots!

Chef Costume from Amazon

 Happy New Year to everyone!  I apologize for no post the last 2 weeks.

It's been a bit crazy and I was on a cruise with extended family the 

last week (connecting to the internet was $.50 a minute and I heard it

was an ultra slow connection so I refrained.)  

It's that time of life for me when many of my friends are young or new

mothers.  It reminded me that when I was young, I loved playing chef

or having tea parties.  I would have loved to have a little costume and

play food!  All of my picks in this post for play food is from Amazon

where I spend way too much every month on books, gifts and etc.

Since I just returned, I'm afraid I'm a bit late in posting this next part but

it is for a good cause and today is the last day.  CouponMountain.com has

Country Club Sandwich

I'm totally on a play food roll.  I think it's so cool 

because I never  got play with bonafide play food ^_^

 

 Baking cookies (which afterwards one 

can use the cookies in a play tea party.)

Decorate a Cupcake

 Now this set is pretty cool.  You can decorate a cupcake with 

markers and then wipe them off to do it again and again.  They

have versions of this for cookies as well.  It reminds me of the

Cookie app on the I phone which I totally got hooked on.

 

 No one should forget about the food groups!

 Deluxe Wooden Cutting Fruit Cake

Can't forget the fruit!  It's best to eat fruit on an empty

stomach to get the maximum nutrients possible - that 

means eating fruit before a meal or as a snack on it's

own.  It sounds like the opposite of what most people

do but it is true. 

 

 Pizza Party at my house!  This is really fun set for kids.

 

 This is what it looks like all done up and ready to serve.

 

 Grill Set

How about a play food set for the boys?  What could

be better than a grill set for the boys :)  It's one of 

America's favorite past times in the summer - BBQ

and grill.

Stir Fry Set

I am Asian so I must say that a stir fry set certainly appeals 

to me.  Also because it's just fun to dump food into a pan

and pretend to cook it by stirring it around.

It's pretty good - comes complete with a "knife" for 

chopping, snow peas, beef, mushrooms and veggies. 

There's one thing that I always thought was interesting,

Westerners usually eat the snow pea but not the snow 

pea leaves.  Chinese people usually eat the snow pea

leaves instead.

 Fancy Cake Set

Last but not least is the special occasion fancy cake set. Every 

girl should have one of these ^_^  Perfect for a play party, a 

play tea party and play wedding.

Here's to getting in touch with your inner child.  Happy New

Year everyone!  I'm going to do my New Years Resolution

for 2011.  Whether I complete them is another story...

usually get at least half way through them so I'm thinking 

this year, my list should be more realistic as to what I think 

I can accomplish.
