Learn about the future through food toys

3minuteslab

Taste of Tomorrow is a wooden role-play toy set that turns kids into little future chefs. Designed for children aged 3–6, the set introduces young minds to future food trends in a playful, hands-on way. It features imaginative ingredients and menus inspired by real innovations

The story behind the idea

Future is something no one can escape. It's good for the new generation to start adapting to these issues. But why do the current toys still have the same context? We experimented with adding a futuristic context into toys, using a role-play cooking set as a medium because food is something everyone can easily access. This approach helps children learn, adapt, and understand future issues naturally.

Each wooden piece is carefully crafted to spark curiosity, encourage storytelling, and start meaningful conversations about sustainability, food systems, and environmental impact. It’s not just about playing with food. it’s about learning to think critically and creatively about what we’ll eat in the future.
