The Enthusiast Play Kit gets an enhanced tea set, new feelings card set

After play studies, weeks of in-home testing, and thousands of customer surveys, we are excited to introduce two new items to The Enthusiast Play Kit for months 28, 29, 30.

Inside you’ll find a fresh new take on the Pinkies Up Tea Set and the all-new Emotion Match Mirror & Card Set designed to help your child recognize and name emotions—a big step toward building empathy.

The Pinkies Up Tea Set with its teapot and cups holds liquids for enhanced pretend (and pour) play. We’ve also added placemats with place setting graphics to encourage “setting the table for tea time.” By including two placemats, we’re inviting your child to engage in two-person early social and pretend play. The teacups have new handles to allow for a secure grasp and to help your child develop their palmar pinch (and for an even better “Cheers!” experience 😍).

A key part of emotional intelligence is being able to recognize what people are feeling by their facial expressions. With the addition of the Emotion Match Mirror & Card Set, your child will be able to work on and practice this skill. Each card depicts 6 different emotions—from sad and disgusted to surprised and happy, and more. Using the mirror, they can try to match their face to the expression on each card. Exploring emotions in a playful way allows the opportunity for you and your child to have simple but important conversations about emotions: “This is how I look when I’m angry.” “What are some things you do when you’re angry?”

These thoughtful updates were made with you and your child in mind. Our Play Kits for toddlers focus on helping your child practice, refine, and grow key developmental skills with unique playthings that are interactive and engaging ❤️
