Little Market Fruit Set

The Little Market Fruit Set turns a tabletop into a pretend produce stand. A red apple, mustard-colored pear, curved yellow banana, orange, dusty-rose strawberry, and purple bunch of grapes make a colorful display against a shallow cream tray. The rounded forms and simplified details give each piece a recognizable look, from the pear’s narrow top to the strawberry’s leafy cap.

Set the fruit out by color, line it up by shape, or arrange it as if the market has just opened. Make up a shopping list and ask the shopkeeper to find the pieces, or take turns choosing fruit for an imaginary picnic. Try describing a piece by its shape or color before saying its name.

When the market closes, bring the fruit back to the tray and arrange it a different way for the next customer. The pieces are for pretend play and are not edible.
