SS&N FAQs

What are the benefits of Practical Playsets?

Employing familiar materials like pasta, kernels, and rice can foster children's independence when it comes to self-feeding.

As they fill bowls with these vibrant and colorful materials, children have the opportunity to cultivate vital early childhood skills.

These activities promote the strengthening of fine motor control, the development of wrist coordination, self-care abilities, enhanced overall coordination, heightened concentration, increased independence, and a multitude of other valuable skills and attributes.

How do I store the materials?




​It's important to emphasize that our materials are natural and have a finite lifespan.

Over time, colors may exhibit variations or fade with frequent use.

To preserve the quality of the pasta, it is advisable to store it in dry environments, either within the provided jars or sealed gallon-sized bags.

Are the materials safe to eat?






Our pasta, kernels, and rice are prepared using natural ingredients; nevertheless, it is not advisable to use them as food.

They are safe for handling and touching, but their taste is not suitable for consumption.

Do I need to supervise my kids?




This product is not intended for children under the age of 3, as small parts like pasta, kernels, and rice can pose a choking hazard to young children.
 
It is essential to ensure that children are supervised at all times while playing with any type of pasta or kernel.
 
Once the initial presentation has been made, and if you are comfortable with the child's progress and safety, children may be allowed to practice independently.
