Vintage Fisher Price Fun-with-Food
#2136 Homemade Pizza Set
100% Complete/EXC++-NR MINT (C)
" Mom! Suzie is eating all the cheese! She's supposed to put it on the pizza.." Wow, that brings back old memories of Saturday nights making our own Appian Way pizzas. Here for your consideration is a 100% complete, Vintage Fisher Price Fun with Food #2136 Homemade Pizza play set. Manufactured for 2 years (1988-1990), this set allowed children to create a realistic looking pizza.
The play set consisted of a simulated dough base, a pastry bag to keep the dough "fresh," and a handy pop-top pizza to store all the "ingredients." The tasty ingredients included some pretend tomato sauce, grated cheese, and pepperoni toppings. Children could assemble the pizza and serve it on a "personal" size pizza pan. Designed for children ages 3-7 years of age, this plays et was part of Fisher Price's Fun with Food series.
This particular offering, in my opinion, is in EXC++- NEAR MINT condition. The only thing I can find remiss is a slight darkening of the pastry bag. I'm going to refrain from washing this bag for fear I might shrink or otherwise damage it. I will leave it up to the new owner to clean it if desired.
This is a wonderful set to fuel a child's imagination. It would also make a great set for a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist to work on early dramatic play scenerios, sequencing skills, or to re-enact common children's storybooks and beginning narrative skills (e.g. Pizza Party). It could also be used as a concrete motivational tool to complete various therapy tasks. For example, the clinician could reward the child with one of the pieces after the successful completion of each therapy task. The child can readily gauge their progress in finishing the therapy task as their pizza is assembled. It gives the child a concrete representation of how much work they need to complete before moving on to the next activity.
This set is not a part of the recent Fisher Price recall of items produced in China. The dough, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni were manufactured in Korea. The bag was crafted in Mexico and the pizza pan and can were created in the U.S.A.
This set weighs 10 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
