Drewart

Drewart makes wooden play pieces for pretend and small-world play — including doll house furniture, play props like a cash register, and activity toys. The natural, simply styled pieces support imaginative role-play and everyday-life scenarios.

Props like Drewart's wooden cash register let children act out shopping and running a store, building language, early maths (counting money, giving change), social skills and imagination. Role-playing familiar situations helps children make sense of the world through play.

Drewart makes wooden doll house furniture and accessories to furnish a house and bring small-world scenes to life. Children arrange rooms and act out family life, developing storytelling and fine-motor skills. Check the scale on each piece to match your house and figures.

Drewart's pretend-play pieces suit children from around age 3, when imaginative role-play takes off, through the primary years. Larger pieces suit younger hands; keep small accessories for older children. Open-ended props are returned to for years as storytelling grows.

Acting out shops, homes and everyday scenes builds language, social understanding, sequencing and early maths, while arranging props develops fine-motor skills. Because children lead the story, Drewart's open-ended pieces also nurture creativity, empathy and confidence.
