We gave the DC (age 4y and 21m) a play kitchen for Christmas which they absolutely love, they play with it every day. They have a selection of those wooden/Velcro learn to cut fruit and veg, some wooden juice bottles, yoghurts, eggs etc. They also have some plasticky tat little cereal boxes, coffee jars, and heniz soup and beans tins.
they love all of these and the eldest particularly keeps asking for new things for his kitchen. I have just finished a set of 4 miniature baileys bottles. They are plastic and black so don't look 'empty' to the DC so I have given them to them to play. they love them as they can have one each that matches. the eldest knows it is a 'grown up drink'.
I had a couple of friends to play and one mum was really taken aback that I had given them 'alcohol' to play with and didn't think it was appropriate. she stopped a sentence short of actually saying I was encouraging underage drinking but that was what she was thinking.
personally it never occurred to me that I shouldn't give it to them. my thoughts were - pretty plastic bottles, the right size and enough for one each.
AIBU to let them have them to play?
