Modern Living Sink and Hob Unit

Sink and Hob Unit

A beautifully modern combined sink and hob unit from the Modern Living Collection.

• Metal sink with taps that turn and a sleek modern hob with knobs for controls. Double cupboard with shelving provides plenty of accessible storage for pots and pans or even recycling containers.

• Cooking on the hob is an ideal way to encourage children to use their imagination to create inspired dishes from around the world, exploring a variety of foods as they make meals for their friends. It can prompt conversations that offer insights into different home cultures and individual influences, and offers opportunities to expand children's language development about e.g. marinating, poaching, searing and whipping, as they create their delicacies.

• As they mix, stir, flip and create their dishes, children are building on core motor movements that lead to early literacy skills. The sink offers opportunities to discuss hygiene and how we keep ourselves clean and healthy. E.g. why do foods need to be cleaned, and why should we keep our kitchens clean and tidy? The under sink storage might provide the ideal spot to locate recycling containers, which could be used to encourage children to think about where our rubbish goes, why recycling is important to the world we live in, and how recycling centres take our day-to-day rubbish and turn it into something new.

• Part of the Modern Living Collection, a range of role play kitchen and living room items, with a contemporary look and feel, providing children with a more realistic experience in their traditional home corner. Children are able to interact with this range of home-inspired furniture to support their confidence, independence and learning about the world around them. The range opens up lots of opportunities for contextual learning, fostering relationships, and communication and language development, amongst many other aspects of learning that are key to this age group.
