NEW! Make & Serve Apple Pie Play Food
Make & Serve Apple Pie
Presenting Apple Pie as easy as 1-2-3-4! With four easy steps, your little chef will be proud to assemble and present this All-American dessert sensation! Place the bottom crust in the pie plate, fill with the apple slices, then put the top crust into place…”bake” and serve…easy as pie! The set comes with all the ingredients, an oven mitt, wooden knife, pie server and the pie plate.
$19.99
Extended Activities:
- Ask the child to make one extra-stuffed piece of apple pie by stacking the apple slices on top of each other. Count each apple slice as it is put into place. Place a top crust piece on the apple slices and serve to someone special.
- Ask the child to cut the apple into slices with the wooden knife while counting to the number four. Now ask the child to place an apple slice on each of the pie slices, and count to four once again.
- Count the pie slices with the child while guiding them through subtraction problems. For example, you might say, “If you take one pie slice away from these four pie slices, how many are left? Four take away one is three! What if we take away two pie slices?” Encourage addition skills by adding pie slices. This can also be repeated to introduce fractions.
- Ask the child to place an apple slice inside one of the four pie slices, and then cover all four with the top crust pieces. Shuffle the pie slices with the child watching. Ask the child to guess which slice has the apple contained inside it.
- Ask the child to tell a story about the use of the apple pie she/he is making. Is there a special party, holiday or event where it will be served?

Giant Stuffed Animals Go On Safari
Love giant stuffed animals? So do we! Melissa & Doug carries over 30 stuffed animals including these Jungle Plush Animals: Giraffe, Tiger, Lion, White Tiger, Elephant, Zebra and Cheetah. Each of these jungle themed animals has a sturdy wire frame underneath, covered with super-soft plush!
Here’s a fun way to play with our Safari Stuffed Animals:
Have a parent set up these giant plush animals throughout the house and you’re on an instant safari! Start with a “safari guidebook” that you create. In your guidebook draw each of these animals and write something about where they might be found (ie., near water, in a tree, etc). Then, take your guidebook with you on your safari, checking off each animal as you find it!
While on safari, use your binoculars to find the animals as you slowly make your way through heavy brush and rough terrain. Woah, it’s a baby elephant and over there and a giraffe by the couch! Keep looking until you find them all! It’s such fun checking room to room and then finding that last animal!
Please comment with other fun ways to play with our giant plush!
Featured Stuffed Animals:
Giraffe Stuffed Animal, Tiger Stuffed Animal, Lion Stuffed Animal, White Tiger Stuffed Animal, Elephant Stuffed Animal, and Cheetah Stuffed Animal.
