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?

Review: Veterinarian Role Play Costume
Care of your pets, large and small, will be in capable hands when your little vet is suited up in a machine-washable blue jacket, facemask and surgical cap. A stethoscope with sound effect, a syringe, a bandage and a name tag for personalizing complete this set. A little plush puppy patient to “doctor” and love is included.
Children just adore animals and now your child can feel like a real vet with this realistic role play costume with accessories! You’ve seen the poorly made dress up outfits on the market, material so thin you wonder how they managed to sew it together. Well, don’t worry because this jacket is made to last!
Once your child is wearing the jacket, remember to fill out the name badge. Now “The Doctor Is In!” He will love the stethoscope that has a beating heart sound effect. Imagine the fun he’ll have checking the heart health of his favorite stuffed animals!
Oh no! Does the included puppy have a boo boo? Your little vet can fix it! Put on the facemask and surgical cap, use the syringe and then bandage that boo boo! His new favorite stuffed animal will be better in no time!
There is so much play value in this set it’s impossible to run out of new ways to play with it! What we really love about our Veterinarian Role Play Costume is the fact that even though the quality is so good AND it comes with so many accessories, the price is ONLY $29.99!
Dimensions: 17.5″ x 24″ x 0.75″ Packaged
For Ages 3 Years and Up.

“My godson is 3.5 years old. He loves to draw so I wanted to get him something he could draw on but also be creative. I already got him the easel and paint brushes from M&D so when I saw this I knew it was perfect. He loved painting it and sent me many pictures once he was done. Great price.”
