When children play the roles of chefs, shopkeepers, or baristas, they don't just enjoy. Rather, their creativity, communication, and problem-solving. This showcases how pretend play eases the learning process for kids.
Barnshenn gets this. This is why we bring our wide range of wooden kitchen toys. These toys largely focus on giving kids hands-on play experience, thereby eliminating screen play.
Barnshenn’s wooden toys offer strength, safety, and a classic feel that plastic toys cannot match. Let us look at them one by one.

How Wooden Kitchen Toys Support Development
Wooden kitchen toys are more than just role-play props. They support essential early development in many ways.
They build motor skills as children stir, pour, and sort small items. Language and communication skills grow as kids describe what they’re cooking, take food orders, or explain what items they’re selling. Pretend cooking also encourages cognitive development by teaching sequencing, counting, and problem-solving. Social development flourishes during group play, where teamwork, sharing, and patience are taught through experience.
When children play with pretend food toys, they’re not just copying adults—they’re building a world of their own, filled with ideas, stories, and discoveries.
Barnshenn’s Promise to Parents
At Barnshenn, we focus on toys that last through many play sessions. All our wooden toy kitchens are crafted from FSC-certified juniper wood. They’re painted with water-based, non-toxic colours and designed with smooth edges for safe play.
Whether it's a full-size wooden kitchen or a coffee machine toy, each piece is thoughtfully made to support learning and make playtime meaningful.
We believe childhood is a time for learning through doing. That’s why we create toys that encourage independent play, storytelling, and hands-on experiences.
