New Fisher-Price toys let kids work, cook and work out from home like their parents
The realities of quarantining during the coronavirus pandemic are now showing up in the aisles of children's toys.
Toy giant Fisher-Price has debuted three new toys for kids that reflect all the things adults are doing at home today, from working to cooking and working out.
Fisher-Price's My Home Office eight-piece set features a pretend laptop, four fabric apps to attach to the computer screen, a wood smartphone and headset and a to-go cup for kids to sip their favorite beverage, according to the company.
The company's Baby Biceps set includes a wearable headband, kettle bell rattle, a pretend dumbbell and a jingling protein shake bottle.
The Cutest Chef set lets a baby have fun with a crinkle recipe card, play tongs with a meatball spinner, an oven mitt teether and a wearable chef’s apron bibgreat, according to Fisher-Price.
The toys, which range in price from $14.99 to $24.99, are designed to let kids role-play and connect with their parents, according to Chuck Scothon, senior vice president of Fisher-Price and global head of infant and preschool for Mattel, the parent company of Fisher-Price.
"At Fisher-Price, we’ve always been focused on making playtime more fun by infusing surprising and playful elements into our toys," Scothon said in a blog post announcing the new toys. "In the infant and preschool categories especially, we have deliberately focused on introducing toys that get parents and caregivers laughing, too."
"This collection features a number of actions that kids are seeing the adults in their lives do now more than ever," he wrote.
