Product Description
Who's hungry? Mix and match to make a yummy meal. This 21-piece set is full of well-balanced, nutritious pretend food. All four food groups are individually boxed in sturdy wooden crates for storage, sorting, and stacking.
I purchased this set along with four other sets and a food stand for my son for his birthday. He wanted to open a store and sell things. He has really enjoyed making sandwiches and selling his food to his brothers and his father and I. The set is a good size and has been played with in our house by girls and boys ages one to nine, not to mention how much I have played with it with them. Highly recommended.
Very durable. My daughter has played with it for three years. I threw the orange and the apple away after being in the line of fire of a two year old's temper tantrum. Now she's four and the tantrums have passed. I guess I should have saved them but wooden fruit hurts!
I really like the Melissa & Doug quality. I got these food groups for my daughters kitchen set. She likes to name the items and she especially likes the cheese triangle. She should get years of use from this set.
My 1 year old and 3 year old love this item. The food groups are a great way to teach children about the four food groups and help them begin to differentiate between them. These products will not bend or break and are great when played with correctly or tossed around by a 1 year old.
The food is realistic and my son has a lot of fun cooking things up, the little wooden bins are great for storing the food and are very durable. The only thing to watch out for is that some of the fruit is made from solid wood and if thrown could be dangerous to anyone in its path. Overall great quality product my son has enjoyed playing with this much more then the plastic food.
This toy is a great educational toy, but because it is made of wood it can be a danger to toddlers who are still into throwing things around and biting things. Some of the pieces could have been better made to look more like the object........the tomato, orange and egg for example just look like coloured shapes.
I ordered this from Amazon a year ago for a great price with the FREE super saver shipping, and it has gotten a lot of play. My now 2 1/2 year old daughter and her little friends all love to play kitchen and whip up some fun with this food. (I know the recommended age is 3 and up but in my opinion this is really fine for a 2 year old, maybe just watch the egg if they put things in their mouth still) I would definitely buy this again. Another great Melissa and Doug product!
My son loves this set. The only downfall is that the orange is just a painted ball and has been permanently taken away due to throwing. The same is about to happen with the lemon, egg and tomato. So, if you have a thrower in your house, beware! They are solid pieces and hurt! Other than that, love it! My son loves to make burgers and hot dogs (no bun with the hot dog though). He also loves to go to the "store" and "buy" milk and bananas. Love the set, and the crates the food comes in!
This doesn't compare to the birthday cake or pizza for fun. For fruit & vegs play food I would suggest the velcro cutting food instead. Way more interesting.
I wanted good wooden pretend food (hate plastic toys) and I wanted a nice starter selection for a good price without having to buy, say, a separate veggie or fruit set. This is a basic food groups set so you get (4) little wooden crates filled with meats, veggies-n-fruits, dairy, and grains.
That said, after receiving the product, I can confirm that buying separate sets would have yielded superior pretend food, but would have quadrupled the investment. Besides, the kids love it and engage in all the rich, imaginative and independent play parents love to peripherally watch while reading the newspaper or something.
In summary,
Pros:
-All wood, nice all-in-one selection
-Kids like it a lot
Cons:
-Made in China
-All the produce is smaller than life-size -- even the egg and lemon (whereas the individual sets include many life-size items)
-Paint from some of the produce arrived scuffed onto other produce (enough to induce a mildly annoyed "come-on" but not enough to initiate a return or obsess over)
