Pretend food have a variety in the refrigeration. Food! Every home living center needs food. Have a variety of food to support all your students. Put out plastic, realistic food for your younger students and food containers for your older students to support imaginary play. I LOVE adding watered down paint to the inside of bottles and jars to make the props more eye appealing for students. For example, I coated the inside of the jelly jar with purple paint. My favorite realistic food props are Melissa and Doug eggs, cookies set, sandwich set, pizza set, and pasta set.
