I found this unique and intriguing do it yourself (DIY) toy. Konapun is a Japanese toy that is like a mini kitchen, you know like the ones that you would play when you were a kid with your sister, or in kindergarten. This mini kitchen is an upgrade from the past I would say. You buy these DIY in sets, and inside each box are the ingredients and instructions.
If you follow the instructions correctly, you will be able to make something like cookies, French fries, sushi, etc. For example, for French fries you would make a batch of oil by mixing a powder with water. Then you would make the fries with a separate batch of powder with water. I guess the main activator would be water. The finished product is miniature plastic food which is NOT EDIBLE. Also just, like real food, the toy rots, so sadly you are not able to keep it forever.
This product is actually very ingenious I must say. It really brings into reality of cooking, because children can actually mix ingredients together to create something. At least it is a lot better then the plastic vegetables and pots I had in elementary school. This toy can actually keep a child engaged for a while.
