Operating Instructions (How to Play)
This playset encourages active and imaginative role-play. Here are some suggestions for engaging with the vegetable garden:
- Planting: Use the wooden seeds box and fertilizer box to pretend to prepare the soil. Place the wooden vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli) into the felt-lined slots in the garden bed.
