Pizza Place: Reusable Decals for Magnetic Tiles

Blank magnetic tiles are just squares. Stack a few and you have walls. Add a wood-fired oven, a counter up front, a checkered tablecloth on the booth. Now you have a pizza place. Add a pie fresh out of the oven, a stack of boxes ready for delivery, a jukebox in the corner. Now it's Friday night.

Pizza Place is 50 reusable fabric decals across two sheets, covering everything a pizzeria needs to feel like one. There's a storefront with big windows and a front door, an open sign, order here and pickup here signs, and a restroom sign. Inside, there's a booth with a table, a wood-fired oven, a jukebox, a counter with a register, and a telephone for orders. The kitchen has a prep table, a refrigerator, dough, a rolling pin, flour, shredded cheese, tomatoes, sauce, and toppings. The menu is on the wall. Out front there's an arcade game and a gumball machine. On the food side, there are whole pizzas, pizza by the slice, pasta, breadsticks, a salad, plates, and a drink station. For delivery, there's a stacked set of pizza boxes and an insulated bag. There's even a city map for planning the route. Works with Magna-Tiles, Picasso Tiles, and most other 3-inch magnetic tile sets.

Kids pick a tile, pick a decal, and open for business. Some build the dining room first and seat the customers. Some start in the kitchen and work the oven. Some take phone orders and run deliveries across the map. All of that is fine. That's the point. Works for kids ages 4 and up, solo or with a sibling.
