We are served as inspiration for fun from books (not only) for children, each of whom teaches something about food and being in guests or receiving them.
1. Why do Swedish brands produce coffee and cookies?
Playing in preparing coffee, it's easy to move in your imagination to Sweden, you ever wondered why? In many Swedish fairy tales and books it is easy to meet there baked goods like cinnamon and cardamom rolls. In Sweden, people love going to the cafe, often take a break for coffee and cookies and invite them to tea. Children are then served juice and rolls. Until recently, mainly coffee was drank there, and tea was treated as a medicine.
This approach is a past, but coffee is a basic drink at parties, breaks at work or as an addition to something sweet. So don't be surprised that the brand Kid’s concept It offers objects that you will recognize from the stories of children from Bullerbyn, Pippi, Lasse and Maja detective office, the Sventon or Albert Tur.
Something here smells familiar with Kid’s Concept. This is certainly because such cookies are eaten by the well -known heroes of Swedish books - the Carnival and Sweet Semel loved the Ture Sventon detective. The one created by the Swedish writer åke Holmberg, the Lord could not pronounce „s” And he called her „Temlem”. You will play with wooden semlas in Kid's concept: wooden Swedish cookies Kid's Bistro and playing with a wooden puzzle Kid's concept: wooden puzzles bistro cookies. Attention! Because this is a matter for a real detective - why is there no semla in the puzzles? Instead, they are: cinnamon, muffin, a piece of cake, a shortcake cookie with raspberry marmalade, a punch roller, i.e. Vacuum cleaner and checkered cookie.
What does the unusual Swedish Ture detective from Åke Holmberg's books teach?
After reading these books, we can easily recognize what is included in the set of wooden desserts. When it comes to handling people, Ture teaches, for example, to treat well, especially Semla and especially when we want to buy a certain flying carpet. Ture decided to be polite and treat the seller of Omar a new sella every now and then, so that he would sell him a carpet. He finally succeeded.
On the occasion of Turk, Sventon gives an example not to give up and give a little difficulty to take away the taste of life. Even without pronouncing one sound, you can be a great detective and enjoy the good with good sweet rolls, even if their name is a bit difficult for us. Ture is also the smartest Swedish detective!
2. Why is the Kid’s Concept dessert set are just seven cookies?
If you need something that you can arrange imaginary or toy cookies, take a look at this Swedish Wooden Patera Kid's Bistro brands Kid’s concept. You can immediately give a set of seven Swedish cookies - Kid's Concept: Wooden Swedish cookies kid's bistro. Do these cookies remind you of something? Here a curiosity - traditionally in Sweden was served (you can still meet with a little luck) at least seven types of fragile coffee cookies. There is even a special expression for this, i.e. „sju sorters kakor”. This is a minimum amount. There could be more cookies, but there had to be at least as many types as days of the week. Buns or cakes or cakes did not count into it. This is why the set includes seven, not eight or six or nine wooden treats.
And if the child himself wants to bake wooden delicacies, a beautiful wood mixer will certainly be useful Kid's concept: wooden mixer kid's bistro. The set immediately includes eggs, milk, flour and sugar in bags, as well as a bowl and a spoon. Great training before real baking!
We especially recommend wooden coffee machines:

3. You won't even look back and the child can already bake a cake!
One of the favorite books for children also sometimes deals with cooking and inviting children to himself. Maybe you guess who we are talking about? One day Lisa, the main heroine „The Six Bullerby Children” Astrid Lindgren, her mother was blurred that she was very bored with her. My mother said that she would bake a cake in her place. Lisa had never done this before, but acting according to her mother's instructions, she got eggs with sugar, combined the mass with melted butter and lemon zest. In this way, she had her first baked cake in her life! Her mother advised her to invite Boss and Lasse's tea, and then Lisa proposed a cake and juice Britta and Annie. In this way, she neatly and nicely ended a small conflict with the girls.
Not only Lisa, but also the reader had a chance to see that sometimes it is enough to dare, follow my mother's instructions and start preparing his first pastries. Lisa also broke the ice cream after a small argument with Britta and Anna, inviting them to a hand -prepared dessert. Truly great deeds of little people! It is also an example of a classic Swedish fika for children, i.e. sweet baking and fruit juice.

4. What exactly is this tea?
This is best taught by the heroine of the iconic Louisa May Alcott book „Little women”. The heroines of this book for young teenagers, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, grow up in North America in the years 60. XIX century. At home, the bell sound signales that it's time for tea. What is that? It is both afternoon tea and dinner, which is a smaller afternoon and corporate meal. The custom of that time were lighter meals served for tea, e.g. bread, light baked goods, sandwiches, croutons, less lavish cake, etc. However, the most important was a good atmosphere, which the author emphasized several times. Regardless of the degree of wealth of people inviting for tea, a joyful mood was taken care of.
You will learn a lot about the circumstances around teas from this still fascinating novel about growing up and becoming a young woman of Louisa May Alcott novel and films under the same title.

5. What not to do in guests?
Since we are already at tea and coffee asked, let's move to another treat. As we mentioned above, Pippi was a bit infringed in the guests. Once upon a time, the mother of Tommy and Annika, Friends of Pippi Stocking, gave a small afternoon party for several friends of the ladies. Annika also invited her friend, Pippi. The girl, however, behaved at least unusual. We love wild children and maybe now we look at this scene completely differently, but in the 1950s in Sweden ... Believe me, it was a considerable literary scandal. Being in guests, Pippi deliberately scattered sugar from the sugar bowl on the table, the carpet and in the whole living room, and she sunk her face in a cake standing on the table, and that's not all!
And if you want to read more about PIPPI adventures, we recommend classic Astrid Lindgren positions:

We have a whole large stove for maximalists Kids concept: kitchen for children bistro Available in three colors. For amateurs Kid's concept: Kid's Hub salad set.
5. What can he teach about treating and behavior Crazy tea at the hatch?
However, if you want to invite dolls, teddy bears and friends with children, as a hatch in Alice in the land of Wonders, all this must work like a watch. At least nobody can be late. Cookies should be cut with care. At the beginning we suggest practicing dry. While in Sweden we were on coffee with cookies, in England we will treat ourselves with tea with additions.
Five o'clock meetings known in pop culture at a hatch from the book Lewis Carroll strongly stimulate the imagination of children and adults. Numerous screenings of his novel and the motive of the party are constantly current and encourage you to play with fantasy.
Loaders, which start five in the afternoon, show that you should come in guests on time, right? Alicja ran after the White Rabbit, who did not want to be late. You can need a watch to play this scene. To always be on time, you can get the beautiful one a lamp that raises the light of the bunny Straight from rabbit and friends Rabbit & Friends. With this white rabbit, getting up is pure pleasure. Is it maybe a lamp from a rabbit with relatives and friends from a stumilian forest? It depends only on the child's imagination.
And czY teach something else? Can you learn something to your child about this strange meeting with colorful characters and turn this scene into great fun in tea? And it's like!
If you remember that the March hare said that you should not come without an invitation, then you can put this element in your scene. On the other hand, Alicja reacted to nosy curiosity saying that the question about personal matters is very rude. This is a good assertiveness lesson not only for girls. Alicja expressed her surprise aloud, so she did not sit quietly, while others behaved strangely and rude to her. Alicja also followed her own curiosity, she was open and brave. However, she was instructed that we should not interrupt and we can agree with that.
6. How to prepare a great party or an excellent afternoon tea according to a hat?
While Joe and the sisters show a good traditional version of tea, this one will be less conservative. PYou open the following things:
- Lots of things for tea and many covers, because the heroes do not change the dishes, but only places at the table. It can be special Tea service (here we recommend a whole bunch of toy pledge, e.g. Liewood: Silicone Tea Service Ophelia Tea Play Setfrom which you can really drink
- table or table covered with afternoon tea; The tablecloth can be something that the child's imagination or a scarf from Kid’s Concept picnic kit
- Tea tray, e.g. from the plan toys
- picnic kit Kid's concept: Kid's Hub picnic kit or in the mini version Djeco: Mi Picnic picnic basket
- Maybe toy bread, because Alice ate a slice of butter; We recommend maid bread kitchen kit for bread or ... tiny, so just right for Alice after eating a magic cookie
- big slices and a toaster; This will definitely be useful Wooden toaster from Kid’s Concept Or the one with tiny cubes of butter from Melissa & Douga
- Optionally, it will be beautiful Tender leaf toys: wooden chocolate cake
- The questions asked from time to time "Do you want more tea?" And, above all, the first time. Alicja was not offered tea, so this question she reacted with surprise, then poured herself infusion and offered a slice of bread with butter
- A big dose of imagination.
By playing this scene with children, you can pay attention to some additional elements, such as various cookies, places at the table, etc. We also remember what the mouse told everyone that everyone deserves a reward. You can eat a slice of bread with butter during tea (this is how Alicja did).
Such fun or children of interaction, develops speech and imagination and tames with absurdity. Not all social behavior here is traditionally understood as good, but it is only absurd fun. Everyone, especially the youngest, happens to spill something, and it does it in this song March hare. He spills milk onto a plate, but he does not pay attention to him, but he is silent politely.
Finally, remember: do not tell puzzles to which there is no answer;)
Tea, unparalleled in the exercise of pouring, can be beautiful and ecological wooden tables. They tame with beautiful aesthetics and safely teach to prepare drinks and mix imaginated sugar until it dissolves.

7. What about Harry Potter's food?
I wonder if you can have fun in a birthday or a party like it at Hogwarts? Here either a huge momentum is needed or a lot of magic. What about food closer to Harry? There is a whole lot of it there, from ribs, cubes, various drinks in a pub through homemade dinners, we have Ron and Ginny until ... a Christmas feast at Hogwarts. Mrs. Weasley, who took care of the whole family and friends, come to the thought of cooking. The lady of the Weasley House also hell homemade cookies, at the very thought of which you will feel mint to play with culinary. One of the volumes also appeared her homemade plum cake, homemade strawberry ice cream, homemade cake with apricots and nuts, homemade toffee, and this is not nothing complicated, but you need to put a heart into it. Yummy!
Other dishes that are remembered are a typical Anglo -Saxon pumpkin cake that you can easily bake during the pumpkin season, and always with fantasy. A series about small wizards suggests amusing names, a humorous approach and will help to come up with something of your own when traditional baked goods get bored.
One of the interesting ways to have fun and food is to guess the flavors. Beans of all flavors can be used as inspiration. You can play with beans (cooked) or jelly beans or fruit, especially blueberry. How do you say to the dreams of berries in various spices or sprinkles and guessing flavors? Eg strawberry in cinnamon or currant in peppers. Yuck? Well, just like the J.K. series Rowling. You never know what to find, but it's always fun!
8. How to cook is with love!
Mrs. Weasley, as you know, had to take into account money, but she never spared good refreshments, home warmth and heart. She put her whole heart into every dish she prepared. The huge number of people scrolling through the Weasley House set high requirements for the lady of the house. She was slightly annoyed more than once, the twins made her jokes and pranks, but she hosted everyone. Without putting yourself so high, it is worth remembering that the most important in cooking is the heart.
9. Tea, biscuits and openness are enough to host friends
This was taught by Hagrid. Very often, when Harry, Ron and Hermione fell into his cottage, the school janitor treated them with tea and lectured on a plate on the table biscuits. Sometimes he tried to serve something more, he baked, for example, rolls, but on average he came out. It did not prevent him from being the best friend. In addition, Hagrid could not use spells and spells, he was the so -called charłak, because of which he was often teased. This also meant that he had to rely on his non -magical skills.
And if you want to make Hagrid's cookies, it will be useful a little inventiveness and something to form cookies. Practice dry first. Can help Our Generation: A set of accessories We bake Master Baker Set cakes. The utensils are necessary. You remember that Hagrid was not an outstanding cook and the cakes were hard and compact. Let the fantasy tell what can whable them. What did it taught us? That the best friend is not met by cookies, but in poverty! After all, Hagrid could always be counted, he saved Harry, Ron and Hermione from oppression more than once. And, and that you don't necessarily have to tell a friend that the cookies failed. The children pretended to be tasty. Let the enthusiasm remain, and next time it will certainly succeed.
Great fun can be done by inventing Hagrid's cookies. You can certainly bake them in many ways! A mixer will definitely be useful for toy baking. They have a great set Melissa and Doug: Wooden mixer, it consists of a mixer with a bowl, a spoon, egg, butter cubes, a box of flour, a mold, a cake, a recipe card. By turning the crank you can put the stirrer in motion and bach, bach – Cake ready! Another beautiful wooden mixer, which we also recommend it Tender Leaf Toys: Wooden Home Baking Set mixer – There is also a ready cake in a mold if you prefer such a solution.
10. You can reach for some spells if the cake melts too much
We will say briefly: Yes, you can do that! Sometimes birthdays and guests are just right, and at home everything is still in broth. Do you remember what a good fairy-godmother conjured up Cinderella? It is magic, and with the help of a magic wand you can conjure up. Or what delicious cake was baked by a good fairy of Disney sleeping princess? And only with the help of magic or simply imagination. And if you missed the sleeping princess, a fantastic book with movable illustrations awaits you: Entliczek: Pop-up Sleeping Beauty.

11. Sometimes a large kitchen is needed, even toy
Especially if the whole family wants to cook. If you want to go all over and let your child spread your wings, you can get something as big as Hagrid. Almost.
You associate the novel of Małgorzata Musierowicz Macierów and family? The heroes lived in cream! And besides, they cooked quite a lot, so they would probably also be useful to them kitchen. Heroes They had a lot of adventures, survived holiday love, moments of horror, but the most important are happy end and the great victory of good over evil! Yes, children's books should end well.

- Tender leaf toys: wooden portable kitchen mini chef kitchenette
- Tender leaf toys: wooden mini chef kitchen
Little but beautiful kitchens that even the smallest heroes of books would be impressed with:
12. How the Filifionka saved the remains of food
You certainly associate this peculiar character from the O series Moomin Finnish author Tove Jansson. Filifionka did not like how she was visited to the kitchen, so in her case there is nothing to count on getting to know the theater from the kitchen. What this literary character taught us is to approach cooking creatively. Various unsuccessful effects of her culinary art or slightly stale products have tried to be rescued in every way. Lonely vegetables and other remains efficiently integrated into new dishes. What conclusion of this? Well, it is worth playing your fantasy and experimenting in the fun and in the kitchen.
Well, maybe something crazy? Hagrid's hard and unsuccessful cookies can be eaten after soaking them in smoothie. You will make great and colorful toy smoothies with Melissa and Doug: Blender for play smoothie maker. Wooden fruit and leaves in the rainbow colors until they invite you to play. Another interesting dish that allows many different solutions is Melissa and doug: Fill & Fold taco and tortilla set food - For a change, you can always wrap something new - in tortilla, of course.
13. It's always time for a little something
This is what Winnie the Pooh taught us - if the experiments are not entirely for you or just time for a break, then you can reach for honey. Of bucket little something It will help us find a reason for a break, even quite early, because this nice bear "liked to eat his own little something at eleventh in the morning.
In addition, Pooh also professed the principle that after cooking, gymnastics, cleaning, cutting and reaching time for rest, or at least for a small afternoon tea.
And after a food, good night we recommend reading a child aloud about a beloved teddy bear in the classic translation of Irena Tuwim Our bookstore: Winnie the Pooh. The motif of love returns again. The teddy bear with a very little reason had a very big heart, and this is the most important thing when arranging refreshments, for teddy bears, for dolls or for friends of flesh and blood.
We wish you great fun in cooking! Also discover our collection Toy kitchen.
