Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award Winner 2008! Tin Tea Set in Travel Case by Alex Toys. 16-piece floral themed tin tea set packed in a bright, beautiful printed case. Includes teapot with lid, 4 cups, 4 saucers, 4 plates, and a serving tray. Preschoolers, drama queens (and kings) that they are, learn to craft storylines, complete with dialogue. Hosting and guesting also (hopefully) promote proper manners ("Would you like more dandelion tarts?" "Why, yes, please.") and empathy if, for instance, a visiting dog partakes in a guest's cake or tea spills on a favorite gown. Fine-motor skills and sequencing (placing a cup on a saucer, then pouring the tea) are on the menu too. For Ages: 3 years and up.
