Fruit & Smoothie Blender Set

Smoothies all round. And apparently we're having three different flavours because nobody can agree on what they want.

Le Toy Van's wooden Fruit & Smoothie Blender Set is a miniature smoothie bar ready for business. There's a lovely wooden blender with a removable lid, a selection of colourful fruits, two takeaway smoothie cups and a wooden knife for preparing all those very important ingredients.

The fruit pieces include strawberries, bananas, oranges and kiwi, with little hook-and-loop fastenings so children can slice them apart and put them back together. Pop everything into the blender, turn the dial and get ready to take some very specific orders.

The little details make this one particularly good. From the illustrated fruit slices to the pastel smoothie cups, it's a proper little kitchen set that looks just as lovely sitting on a shelf as it does in the middle of a busy pretend café.

Brilliant for imaginative play, practising coordination and creating increasingly ambitious smoothie combinations. No washing up required, either.
