Eight types of hand-felted pasta for pretend Italian cooking: spaghetti, fettuccine, farfalle, penne, gnocchi, ravioli, tortellini, and agnolotti. Each shape is distinct, sized for small hands, and made from soft wool felt that holds up to daily play. Children name the shapes, cook them up in a pretend pot, and serve them to whoever is at the table.

Suited to children aged three years and up.

Why it lasts.

We carry this because the pasta set does something few other play food collections do: it introduces children to a whole vocabulary of shape names in a context where they want to say them correctly. Farfalle. Tortellini. Gnocchi. The specificity of the shapes makes the play richer. It is the kind of set that goes into every pretend kitchen and stays there.

Details

Materials & construction

Each pasta shape is hand-felted from 100% New Zealand wool and colored with azo-free dyes that are safe for children and pets. The eight pieces — spaghetti, fettuccine, farfalle, penne, gnocchi, ravioli, tortellini, and agnolotti — range from 1½ to 12 inches and each has a clearly distinct shape.

Ways to play

Name the pasta shapes, sort them by size or type, and cook them up in a pretend pot for whoever is at the table. Build a full Italian kitchen scene with the pasta as the main course alongside felt sauce, vegetables, and a play café range. Return to the set across multiple sessions to extend vocabulary and keep the play fresh.

Care & storage

Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash. Air dry flat. Store in a basket or bin with other play food between sessions.
