Chef set teaches measurement – and play
BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 2, 2009 — There’s no doubt that children love to play with tea sets and make-believe kitchens. Now, thanks to Seaside Chef Toys (http://www.seasidecheftoys.com/), innovator of the new Seaside Chef Beverage Set, boys and girls everywhere can immerse themselves in imaginary play, while learning something along the way. Created by Made By A Mom Like You, the parent company of Seaside Chef Toys, the Seaside Chef Beverage Set is just the beginning of a whole product collection developed to exercise the brain both educationally and socially.

“The idea behind the Seaside Chef Beverage Set came to me as I was watching my own daughter play tea party on the beach,” says Jade Cohen, a former teacher, corporate-America veteran, and now president of Made By A Mom Like You. “All the chef-set pieces enable children of both genders to pretend cook, but also teach them volume and length in standard and metric units. It’s a wonderful way to engage entire families, and help children practice mathematical, scientific and social skills.”
The beverage set, officially debuting February 15-18 at New York’s Toy Fair ’09 (Javits Center, Booth #5449), features realistic depictions of colorful sea animals. Pieces include a whale teapot and serving spoon, dolphin creamer, puffer fish sugar bowl with spoon, seahorse mugs, lobster teaspoons and a wave tray. Most characters come with bases containing tiny faux sea creatures. By filling the bases with water, they transform into miniature aquariums. Although the Seaside Chef Beverage Set will inspire hours of kitchen play at home, it’s ideal for the pool, sandbox, bathtub and beach. For easy transporting, the chef set tote comes with a water-and-sand-friendly mesh bag.
“The goal of the Seaside Chef Beverage Set and other future products is to teach children through a fun, positive experience,” Cohen says. “Test marketing shows that the chef set sparks the imagination and learning of children ages three to 12. It’s proven to be fun, effective, durable and affordable, too.”
Of note, Seaside Chef Toys are collectable and carry a Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece, which is personally signed and dated by Cohen, will be available for mass distribution in Summer 2009. Products in development include several additional play chef sets, an adult and children’s clothing line, kitchen and bath accessories, plush animals, paper products, school supplies, an animated cartoon and more.
