When we heard about Zara Home's toys, we were justifiably excited. Just like their homeware range – full of dreamy tableware and dainty soft furnishings – Zara Home has been pushing the boat out for the little ones, too. And this collection, in our expert opinion, has some of the best kids' toys currently on the market. It is a far cry from the wobbly plastic kitchen play set I had to put up with as a kid; Zara Home’s toys are bound to stimulate a child's curiosity.
Thanks to Twitter, our attention was alerted to some of the more bougie items in the range, including a coffee maker (yes, really) that looks good enough for any barista. We cannot get enough of this range, which is full of eco-friendly, chic and sustainably sourced wooden toys.
As young ones get a little older, they’ll likely outgrow some of their favourite toys. It’s OK to say goodbye to those well-loved favourites that have stuck around since birth. So, finding interactive toys for two-year-olds is a good sign of development. Enter the Zara Home's toy play kitchen.

A washing machine toy will certainly help your little ones understand the importance of cleaning and tidying up. Moreover, establishing this routine during the development stage may lead to good habits later on. And whilst we cannot promise this toy will help them pick up their socks and put them into the laundry basket, it's a step in the right direction. Zara's toy washing machine is fantastic and even has doors and a rotating drum.

FAQs
What will these Zara Home play sets help with?
Below, we discuss in depth how the Zara Home's toys will help your child.
Improve their language skills: Pretend play and dressing up are great ways to work their imagination and get them to be creative. Educational toys with numbers and letters are great to be introduced from the age of two, so we’ve listed play sets that make learning as fun and rewarding as possible.
Help develop fine motor skills: Painting, puzzles, and anything where they use their brain and hands to match colours or shapes are great, as well as encouraging your child to get messy with colours. As well as some of these sets above, construction toys are also great for stimulating their minds.
Encourage a mini-me: Your two-year-old will pay a lot more attention to you than you might first think. They will love anything that makes them feel grown-up, which is why these toy kitchens are perfect. Also, music toys are a great alternative if you lack the space for a play set.
