From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“When I tried out the felt tomatoes and carrots with kids, I noticed they wanted to keep the fun going by stuffing and re-stuffing their vegetables. I decided to make a tie that would stay closed without knotting, so the kids can open up their vegetables and stuff them again and again! ”

We love this! I spit the set between my boys Easter baskets. The beaded projects were perfect for my 6yo, and my 2yo loved stuffing the veggies. We’ve been playing market ever since!

I loved how you made different vegetables with the different fabric and beads. Such a fun project for littles.

My granddaughter really enjoyed this crate! She is 4 1/2, and loved putting it together and selling her pretend vegetables :)

Very cute activity. A little repetitive with the beads - kid grew tired of it after the 3rd one and my 1 year old was quite upset to not get to participate, but was a very cute activity.
