Farming For Food!
Providing us with important nutrients and antioxidants, vegetables are important in nurturing a healthy physical development. In this blog we have delved into learning about the journey that these delicious vegetables go on – from germinating as seeds in a farmer’s field to sitting in the fresh food aisle of shops – to understand the process needed to bring us such delicious vegetables – like Carrots!
Spending their time outdoors in their fields, come rain or shine, farmers dedicate their lives to tending to their crops. With all the hard work they do, Farmers need durable clothes that they can put on at a moment’s notice, ready to get hands on in any farm task. In Pretend to Bee’s legan-dairy Farmer’s outfit, you can fully immerse themselves in any imaginary farm playtime – from herding sheep to planting and harvesting crops. Consisting of bottle green overalls, and a brown cached flat cap, in this costume you can easily imagine yourself as the most fantastic farmer in the field. Designed with unlimited fun in mind, this outfit is made from a durable bi-stretch material, so it can be washed time and time again for lots and lots of play farm fun!
Greeting customers with a smile on their face, Shopkeepers play an important role in stocking some of our much-loved foods in their shops for us to buy. In your Shopkeeper Dress-up you can immerse yourself in fun aspects of playing shop, from running your own business to serving customers at the checkout counter. This marvellous outfit pulls the experience together perfectly in a bottle green overcoat, and the detail put into the winger collar and ‘green grocer’ graphic finish this playtime experience perfectly.
And if you want to dive further into the play shop experience, take a stroll down the fresh fruit and veg isle in the Pretend to Bee shop with our new Grocery Bag accessory set! This set contains some of our favourite fruit and vegetables like Grapes, Strawberries and Carrots, and despite them only being plush toys and definitely not for consumption, you can still gain some of the berry awesome health benefits of playtime! You can even enjoy the experience of slicing your fruit into yummy pieces with the padded soft play knife and pre-segmented apple and pear, which are joined together with Velcro, to fully immerse yourself in the fun world of fresh food! All these fabulous foods can be carried in your bright red felt bag to complete the playing shop experience. This playtime set is defiantly something to go bananas for!
