Mealtimes can be hard when you have small children. Cutlery goes flying, crockery gets broken, & more food ends up on the floor & the walls than into your child. Plus if your kids won't eat, you'll probably resort to all sorts of bribery & games to get that pureed gloop into their tummies; "here comes the aeroplane-coming in to land" or "open wide for the train- Choo-choo!" etc etc. Unfortunately, children are life's natural critics & if you don't give a convincing performance as a plane or a train there's no way they'll join in & you're still left with a full bowl of strained peas or pear mash. Luckily The Chew Chew Train is one of those gloriously simple why-didn't-I-think-of-that ideas where each element of the cute steam engine actually becomes a piece of crockery or cutlery. Genius! The smokestack becomes a cup, the train-wheel couplings turn into a spoon & fork, the driver's cabin becomes a bowl & the whole base is a nice big plate all coloured in a bright red, blue & black design not unlike a certain Tank Engine. Now your kids CAN play with their food! Suitable for ages 2+ with adult supervision.
