The Zoodleland mini kitchen toys appeared in the 1970s that not only fostered play about with food storage, preparation, and clean-up but also kept little playmates company. Each appliance in the mini kitchen line had a kid-friendly happy face on it Packaging for the toy promised the toys supplied "hours of safe, enjoyable, imaginative play." And mindful of the new Federal Child Protection and Toy Safety Act of 1969, the manufacturer assured conscientious parents that the appliances of the mini kitchen "are designed with safe, round corners and molded of the finest plastics for long life."
