I love toys that keep my energetic girls, Thea (7) and Erin (5), busy! Finding toys that encourage creativity and encourage the two of them to play together is always a joy. Our latest addition, the Jumini tea set, has brought endless hours of fun and sisterly-fun to our home.
Unboxing the magic
From the moment we unboxed the Jumini tea set, the girls were on it! The set includes:
- A charming wooden tray
- A beautifully designed teapot with a lid
- A sugar pot and a milk jug
- Two cups and saucers
- Two teaspoons
- Three tea bags
- An assortment of delectable-looking cakes
It feels and looks very well made, with each piece painted in vibrant, gender-neutral colours. Thea immediately took on the role of the sophisticated hostess, while Erin delighted in arranging the cakes and pouring imaginary tea.
The joy of role-playing
One of the most wonderful aspects of the Jumini tea set is how it fosters role-playing. Thea and Erin love hosting their little tea parties, inviting their dolls, and sometimes (if I'm lucky) even me, to join in the fun. It's heart-warming to watch them practice, manners, and the art of conversation through their play.
Educational benefits
This tea set is not just about fun; it also offers numerous educational benefits:
-
Social Interaction: Hosting tea parties encourages sharing, turn-taking, and polite conversation.
-
Fine Motor Skills: Pouring tea, stirring, and serving cakes help develop hand-eye coordination.
-
Creativity: The set stimulates imaginative play, allowing the girls to create various scenarios and stories.
Sustainable and safe
As a parent, I appreciate the commitment to sustainability. The Jumini tea set is made from FSC-certified wood, ensuring it is eco-friendly. The paint used is non-toxic, making it safe for my little girls.
A family favourite
This delightful tea set has become a staple in our playroom. Thea and Erin have spent countless hours hosting tea parties, and it's a joy to see them so engaged and happy. The durability of the set assures me that it will be a cherished toy for years to come.
Final thoughts
If you're looking for a toy that combines fun, learning, and sustainability, I highly recommend the Jumini Play tea set. It's a perfect gift for any child who loves to play pretend and host their own tea parties. Seeing my girls' faces light up every time they play with it is truly priceless.
