The kitchen set immediately became a gathering place where they could explore, imagine, and connect with one another. As they \"cooked\" together, shared pretend meals, and took turns, they began building friendships and developing important social-emotional skills like cooperation, empathy, and communication. Your generosity gave them not just toys, but a safe and joyful way to learn how to be part of a community.
