This Play Village facade is a great way to instill some drama into a playground or schoolyard. Children will be enthused at the chance to begin pretending they’re owners of a popular business as they serve imaginary food to pedestrians and “motorists” alike. The gas station half of the Play Village has fuel pumps attached by hoses to the partition which helps kiddos act like they’re refilling their friend’s bikes, tricycles, or passing pedal cars. The restaurant half has a suggested menu of food choices along with their prices, which encourages youngsters to practice their reading as well as their mathematics skills. Opportunities for children to recreate the social scenes they see their parents engage in helps them develop understanding of the larger world and understand community interactions. This grouping of two different facades in one unit means the item works great at projecting the idea of a tiny town.
