Transform your role play area into a café, ice cream shop and post office with the Petite Pantry & Post Office Scene Setter Kit. Designed to support imaginative play and real-world learning, this kit encourages children to explore everyday community roles while developing communication, cooperation, and confidence.
 
Suitable for EYFS and KS1 provision, the resources support small groups of children as they take on roles such as café staff, customers, and postal workers, practising everyday routines and social interactions through structured play.
 
What’s Included
Double-Sided Wipe-Clean Tapestry
A portable backdrop that attaches easily to furniture with Velcro, creating a café and ice cream shop on one side and a post office on the other. Quick to set up and easy to store when not in use.
