Not only is role play great fun for children, but it will also help teach them social skills and hand-eye co-ordination. Suitable for ages 3+, this toy will make a sound similar to a normal kettle boiling when the button is pressed, and a pouring noise when tipped up and pouring imaginary water into the cups.
