Cook up a Storm with Hape’s Kitchen and Food Range

We love wooden toys. They last much longer and are sustainably sourced. Hape’s kitchen and food range are designed to be cherished and to last a lifetime. Luckily we were gifted a few of the wooden toys from their range to see what we thought. Designed for ages 1-3+ I’ve had both the girls playing with the new wooden creative toys as soon as they arrived.
