Hi all!

Last year, I published Part 1 of this post, which you can check out here. Now that Abigail is a little over three years old, she has a new set of wooden toys to play with. Today I am including all of the items she interacts with the most, as well as the companies that made them. Most of them are for 3+ and up. I love how environmentally friendly and fun wooden toys are. They help spark creativity and imaginative play. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

1.) ALDI’s Wooden Role Play Foods – Pasta Set 

Abi received this wooden pasta set for her birthday and she honestly plays with it more than any other toy. It comes with: 2 bowls, a boiling pot with lid, 2 utensils, 3 pasta packs, pasta sauce, Parmesan cheese, 1 set of lasagna, spaghetti and butterfly pasta. She loves pretending to prepare pasta for dinner, giving it to her toys or parents to ‘eat.’ It’s so cute, colourful and fun. It came from ALDI, so I cannot link it, but I’m sure if you Google wooden pasta sets, you’ll find some great alternatives! As an Italian, I love seeing Abigail so passionate about pasta making!

2.) Kmart’s Wooden Cake Set 

Abi has had this wooden cake set since last year and she still loves playing with it. It comes with six pieces of cake (connected by Velcro), six removable candles, a cake server and serving platter. She recently learned the concept of birthdays; singing ‘Happy Birthday’, whilst pretending to blow out the candles and handing out slices. It’s really cute. Such a simple toy, that invites plenty of imaginative play. You can order one here.

3.) Jadrem’s Wooden Mixer Set 

This adjustable mixer comes with rotating whisk, flour, sugar, a milk jug, bowl, 2 half eggs and a plate with iced cookies. Abi enjoys pretending to bake the cookies, then feeding them to her baby doll. These types of toys are an excellent way to get a child interested in cooking. You can order one here.

4.) Melissa & Doug’s Dust, Sweep and Mop Set. 

I have seen so many mummy bloggers/content-creators rave about this toy online. It seemed like such a big hit amongst toddlers, I decided to purchase one for Abigail. This six-piece play set, gives kids all the housekeeping tools they need, to keep a home clean! It comes with a broom, mop, duster, dust pan, and hand brush, that are comfortable to use and easy to store. Whenever Abigail sees me sweeping now, she pulls out her own broom and dust pan to help out. It’s made her very excited and curious about cleaning. Highly recommend! Check it out here.

5.) Kmart’s Large Wooden Kitchen Play Set 

Abigail received this gift from her grandmother and it’s been such a massive hit. It includes a fridge, freezer with chalkboard, dishwasher, oven, stove, sink, microwave and hanging wooden spoon and spatula. My husband assembled the entire thing and according to him, it’s very easy to put together, but time consuming – so just be wary of that. It encourages independent play and a sense of maturity. I know Abigail feels very grown up running her own kitchen. I love watching her interact with all the different components. Purchase a similar one here.

6.) Kmart’s Wooden Pizza Set

This is another toy Abi has had for a while now and still gets so much use out of. It comes with 1 cardboard pizza delivery box, 4 pizza base slices (connected by Velcro), 1 pizza cutter, 4 triangles of felt pizza sauce, 2 cheese slices, 2 onion slices, 2 mushroom slices, 2 capsicum slices and 2 pepperoni slices. It’s so colourful and fun to play with. I like requesting specific orders from Abigail. For example, I will ask for a slice with just mushroom and cheese and she puts it together for me. Purchase a similar one here.

Thank you so much for reading. Please continue sharing your child’s favourite wooden toys/brands.

Peace & Love xoxo
