Toy Breakfast Set

Spoons have always been a plaything for children from banging on pots and pans to having tea parties. The WDM has a toy breakfast set that consists of small metal plates, metal spoons, wooden eggs and wooden egg cups. Judging by the image on the box, this was only part of a larger collection of kitchen playthings. Toys like this were made in part to help prepare a young girl for her often-assumed role as a housewife in the early 20th century. WDM-1995-S-1255.9.A-I
