Learning Resources New Sprouts Pick N Sort Food Groups – 26-Piece Grocery Play Set

Overview

Meet the Learning Resources New Sprouts Pick N Sort Food Groups set, a 26-piece pretend play grocery experience designed for curious minds ages 18 months and up. This collection pairs hands-on sorting with imaginative meals, inviting children to explore everyday foods in a playful, tactile way that mirrors real life shopping and cooking.

What’s included and how it’s used

Kids grab the sorting baskets and sort the play foods into four groups: fruits and vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. The set features realistically detailed items like meats, breads, cheeses, and more, which adds a lifelike touch to pretend dinners or store scenarios.

• 26-piece assortment with baskets and play foods across multiple food groups.
• Realistic details boost pretend play and storytelling during kitchen and grocery store role play.
• Durable, wipe-clean plastic is built to withstand daily use in homes or classrooms.
• Compact enough for small spaces and easy to store between sessions.

Learning benefits in a playful format

As children sort items by food group, they practice early categorization and sequencing in a low-pressure setting. The hands-on play supports fine motor skills and can spark conversations about meals, nutrition, and everyday choices—without clinical claims or guarantees.

• Supports early sorting and categorization skills.
• Encourages imaginative storytelling and social play when used in group settings.
• Promotes responsibility and pretend meal planning in family or classroom play.
