It’s estimated by the National Coffee Association that Americans drink more coffee every day than they do water—150 million people consume coffee daily in this country, drinking an average of three cups a day. It’s no wonder that we celebrate #NationalCoffeeDay on Sunday, September 29!
To help keep your kids creatively caffeinated, Melissa & Doug is here with a FREE National Coffee Day-themed printable activity for kids: Can your kiddo spot the differences between the two café drawings? Test their detective skills with our free National Coffee Day printable for kids!

Wooden Cafe Barista Coffee Shop
Perk up playtime with this full-service wooden coffee shop that lets kids be the barista or the customer! Use the coffee maker with a flip filter and “steamer” and the drink dispenser with milk frother to prepare pretend espressos, whipped cream-topped lattes, tea, and cold drinks. Customers choose from items listed on the magnetic menu board, including wooden double-sided cake pops, cookies, and granola bars. Then, slide the credit card in the card reader, and sign the magnetic pad to pay for purchases! This 35-piece play food set offers kids 3+ countless opportunities to develop early learning skills and to create, imagine, and role play.
Wooden Brew & Serve Coffee Set
Pretend-play tea parties can now include coffee with this realistic wooden Brew & Serve Coffee Set for two! Lift the lid and pop in one of three coffee pods—regular, hazelnut, or mocha—and turn the knob to choose the serving size! Too hot for coffee? Add the included ice cube to make it "iced." The 11-piece set comes with two wooden mugs, creamer, sugar, a spoon, and even a re-usable order card for budding baristas. Encourages imaginative play, and promotes fine motor skills, narrative ability, and creative expression.
The Slice and Bake Wooden Cookie Set is a sweet introduction to pretend kitchen play, and goes great with a pretend cup of Joe! This colorful cookie set includes 12 wooden, sliceable cookies and 12 cookie toppings, a wooden knife, spatula, cookie sheet, and a kitchen mitt for safe, imaginative play. Your little baker can pretend to slice the cookies, place them on the cookie sheet, make believe they're baking, and then use the oven mitt for the "hot" cookies once they're done.Then it's decorating time! What a delicious way for kids ages 3+ to practice fine motor skills, number concepts, and more, while pretending to bake and serve sweet treats.
Star Diner Restaurant Play Set
Order up! Everything kids need to serve up delicious diner classics is included in this 41-piece restaurant play set collection. Order on the reusable menu, cook with the durable plastic frying pan and spatula, and serve using a full place setting. Seven wooden food pieces have different food options on either side, and there are even double-sided milkshake and hot drink inserts. Servers and chefs can wear the apron and ring the bell when meals are ready, and customers can pay their bill (use the dry-erase marker on the guest check) with the included play money. Kids 3+ hungry for imaginative play are sure to be satisfied! Encourages kids to develop fine motor skills, imaginative play, storytelling ability, and creative expression.
It’s twice the fun at the Star Diner! This sturdy, double-sided wooden play space lets kids cook and serve from the kitchen side, and order and enjoy a meal on the booth side. The kitchen, with an extra-large oven, realistic burners and dials, a two-shelf refrigerator, and plenty of counter space has fun details like a drink dispenser and milkshake maker with mixing rod that can be pushed up and down. At the two-seat booth, customers 3+ can spin the jukebox dial to choose their favorite type of music, then drop the included coin in the slot—and the coin lands in a collection tray on the other side! Encourages kids to develop narrative thinking, storytelling ability, creative expression, and fine motor skills.
