Description
The Casdon Ironing Board is a scaled down, realistic looking board with padded cover and iron storage tray. The iron is a miniature Morphy Richards and very much like the full sized version. It also includes a folding clothes airer and four hangers. This set is an authentic replica of the full size versions, perfect for role play and for copying adults. The board has three height settings and the airing rack is a nice addition and the little hangers are perfect for tiny toy clothes.

What our experts think
Role play, especially when children are pretending to be grown up helps children make sense of their world and can promote attachment with their parents or carers. Role play involving domestic chores promotes independence and helps children understand the tasks necessary to maintain and run a home. This ironing board set was enjoyed by girls and prompted interesting discussions between the genders about the roles and responsibilities.
