Wooden play bowl, Olive Wood Pretend Doll or Play Kitchen Bowl
SMALL SCOOP BOWL
DURING PLAY
This hand-carved, unique wooden bowl can be used as a sensory bin scoop, thanks to its more oblong shape. We have several designated for sensory bins in our home; however, they often get recruited for the play kitchen, as baby doll bowls, the sand bin or as little gnome homes (flipped upside down). We’ve also seen them used as “bridge builders” for toy cars and as mini mountains for our kids’ small wooden animal toys and dinosaurs.
IN THE KITCHEN
We have several designated for dry snacks too in the kitchen when a toddler-sized portion is needed. I keep one on my window seal above the kitchen sink for my rings when doing the dishes and love to use one when I want to make sure I keep my serving of healthy nuts at the recommended small size! (They are pretty perfect for this.)
No matter how you use this unique piece, it’s a beautiful addition to the natural home.
HOW IT’S MADE
Artisans use hand-tools to carve and shape pieces of olive wood into these pretty scoop-shaped small bowls. Each one is unique and full of character. Olive Wood is a dense wood with gorgeous, unique wood grains. You may even see the artisan’s tool marks as they shaped these from olive wood remnants into multi-purpose treasures. It’s nicknamed ironwood as its density is higher than water; therefore, it will sink in water!
Sturdy enough to hold up, but small enough for children to use and with the beautiful warm, smooth and solid texture of real wood, these are beautiful, natural editions to the home.
