Welcome to the ultimate summer setup ☀️—where hands-on learning meets all the joy of a backyard barbecue! This dramatic play kit helps little ones build real-world vocabulary, sort and sequence food, practice fine motor skills, and flex those social muscles while taking turns at the grill. And can we talk about how beautiful these wooden food sets from @melissaanddougtoys are?! The attention to detail on the kabobs, the rotisserie grill, and the wooden food—chef’s kiss. They bring the whole scene to life in a way that’s durable and developmentally rich. Includes: 🍔 Printable menus, signs, vocabulary cards 🍋 Drink station visuals + pretend food labels 📋 Backyard Game instructions 🧺 All props pictured were carefully selected to match the printables—and yes, I’ve made it easy. 🗣️ Drop BARBECUE below if you want the printables + a list of every product and prop we used to make this magic happen. #dramaticplay #playbasedlearning #melissaanddoug #preschoolteacher #woodentoys #earlychildhoodeducation
