Keeping House Play:
Children love to play house! Give them a Dust Pan and a Broom and put them to work. Children's Brooms made in Ontario, from the Kwartha Broom Company. A small, independent Canadian Company you can feel good about supporting.
Or, put on a matching apron with their favourite doll, and Children are ready to help in the kitchen. Look for our different Porcelain Tea Services, and Baking Sets from Moulin Roty, France.
And meals will be ready quickly with bowls of fresh Felted Fruits and Vegetables, and plates of Pasta from Papoose Toys, and wooden Play Food from Erzi Educational Toys.
