How to Use

To begin the baking adventure, set up the wooden pizza counter on a flat surface. Use the wooden rolling cutter to "slice" the pizza crusts, which are held together with self-stick tabs for a satisfying "crunch" sound. Kids can then select from a variety of felt toppings to customize their orders. Once the pizza is prepared, use the wooden paddle to slide it into the "oven" or place it in the included delivery box for a pretend delivery. For math practice, parents can encourage children to count the slices or identify different shapes and colors among the toppings.

Care & Safety

Cleaning:** Wipe wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak in water, as moisture can damage the natural wood.

Storage:** Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.
