Grocery Store Play Date

A play date all about shopping and groceries. My 4 year old loves to play shopkeeper with her 2 year old sister and her Daddy. 

This is how I came up with the idea about a Grocery Store Play Date. This is how our store looked like:

We have a lot of toy food. I sorted them in an extra shelf in categories. I also used real food in the form of cans.

The highlight was the bulk pasta. I put real penne and maccaroni in containers and I put paper bags out to fill them with the pasta.

You really don't need much. A little bit of food, a cash register, a shopping cart or baskets.
You can also use some toy money and an extra shelf to setup all the food. This is what I did.
The kids where so excited and couldn't wait for their friends to arrive. They had to start playing right away.

 

And don't forget about snacks for the hungry little ones, after all the playing. ;)
