Play Basics
The wooden BBQ grill, smoker, and pizza oven play set is sure to cook up plenty of fun! It comes with wooden and felt pretend food and condiments, durable utensils, a frying pan, and a wooden pizza paddle.
Playful Details
Whether it’s the pretend grill and pizza oven or the high-quality play food and utensils, the 62-piece barbecue play set features incredible details that mimic the real thing. It includes a built-in timer, dials to raise and lower “flames,” a smoker box with chimney for play wood chips, movable utensil rack, side burner, storage shelf, and a lid with safety-close hinge.
Kids will love tempting their guests with realistic-looking wooden food including steak, chicken, a hot dog, burger, veggie burger, and corn on the cob. They can place the sliceable food pieces on their “uncooked” side on the grill and then turn them over to reveal the grill marks when “done”. The toy grill and pizza oven also features a wooden pizza with felt toppings, and lots of fixings such as sauce and seasoning bottles, squiggly felt condiment squirts, and hot and burger buns.

Get the Playing Started
With so many options and play features, you can help your child engage in pretend play by initiating the storytelling. Here are some ideas to get you started.
- Gather friends and family together for a backyard barbecue or picnic, with kids acting as hosts with the play set before the real grilling begins;
- Pretend you’re in a restaurant and order up some grilled favorites from the chef; keep an eye on the timer for medium rare and well done requests;
- Join little ones in creating unique recipes and serving ideas;
- Have little ones grill a fabulous pretend pizza as a prelude to a real pizza party;
- Put on some fun tunes, and pretend that you and your child are running a BBQ and pizza food truck at a music festival or fair. Ask your child to create a name for the food truck as well as for its popular daily specials.
