Wooden Organic Pasta Set

Everything needed for a very convincing pasta night, scaled down for smaller hands. Le Toy Van’s Organic Pasta Set has the kind of considered details that make children’s kitchen toys feel far less throwaway than they usually do: a cream-painted saucepan with lid, a real metal colander, a wooden spoon, a wedge of parmesan with grater, two painted sauce jars, and three pasta boxes lined up like they’ve just come home from a very chic little deli.

It’s the mix of materials that really makes it. The metal colander gives it weight and realism, while the painted wood pieces keep the whole set feeling warm, tactile and nicely made. The packaging details on the ravioli, farfalle and spaghetti boxes are properly charming too — graphic and playful without tipping into noise.

This is the sort of toy that suits children who like the ritual as much as the result: choosing the pasta, adding the sauce, grating the cheese, stirring something important in a pot. Good for pretend kitchens, shop set-ups and any child committed to feeding the entire household from a toy hob.

Made using FSC®-certified wood and completely plastic free, which only adds to the appeal.
