    • Vibrant, cutable toy food
Style: Retail Version Pattern Name: Play Food Set
Review Image by Kirsten Kirsten
The media could not be loaded. These have such beautiful colors, and great quality for being play food. They all work well with the play knife and are easy to “cut” while also being held together strongly. I also love that they come with the wooden bin, it makes it super convenient to store in my sons play kitchen and put away other play food in it too. Great addition! ... show more

    • Perfect Montessori Toy - Practical Life Skills, Math, and Vocabulary
Style: Retail Version Pattern Name: Play Food Set
I ordered this for my 2.5 year old daughter who is VERY curious about the kitchen, cooking, etc. She has a play kitchen and tons of plastic "play food", however, I have found that she loses interest in them quickly overall (the play kitchen keeps her attention longer if/when we allow her to use real water in the pots and non-draining sink...). If this sounds like your child, read on! The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food set has been a total A+!! It does actually make a crunch sound when she cuts because of the Velcro between the slices which she seems to really enjoy. I am always leery of buying sets with so many pieces because she just doesn't seem to want to use them for their intended purpose, or the sets don't appeal to her. That is NOT the case with this set!! She loves it for what it is! The pieces have a nice weight because they are constructed from wood. It comes with a wooden knife that has a realistic shape that's rounded at the bottom just enough that it doesn't seem that it would cause damage or scratching if it is used on surfaces other than the cutting board it comes with. My 9 year old son even likes the set! He also likes using them to practice chopping and cutting (he started learning how to make basic recipes in the real kitchen a year ago). But, the thing he really enjoys about it, in his words, "using it to do factions"! It gives him a nice visual for what a 1/4 means when he can chop the pepper into quarters and he now understands reducing basic fractions because of this set - when he chops the pepper or watermelon in half, he started by calling one of the halves 2/4, but visually it made sense to him that 2/4 is also 1/2! If your child or children are in a Montessori School or Daycare, I highly recommend purchasing this set - they will love it! It is great for building and practicing practical life skills. It comes in its own wooden tray (the tray does not have handles, but it is an appropriate size and has ample sides to keep the items from spilling out) making clean up and storage easy for even the youngest kids. I saw in some of the reviews that people complained about the smell - there was no chemical or paint smell to ours, it only has a slight wood smell. My best guess is that Melissa & Doug changed the products that they use on it since those reviews were written. The Velcro seems very good, although we'll see how it will hold up to multiple kids over several years. You could probably replace the Velcro with some effort, if it is needed - but I don't know that it would be the easiest job. ... show more

    • My Son love these
Style: Retail Version Pattern Name: Play Food Set
This is a great set. I bust these out when i am cooking and my son (nearly 2 years old) cuts "vegetables" on the counter next to me. We did use a different knife since the one provided is a little thick and is hard to slide through the cracks in the veggies and he was getting a little frustrated. We have the plastic chiefs knives and that works well. Over all this is a great gift. he likes cutting the veggies and putting them on plates for us, he also likes "baking" the bread. would recommend. ... show more

    • Great play food to practice multiple fine motor skills!

We got this play food for our three year old daughter because she loves to help in the kitchen and she absolutely loves to practice cutting. Our one year old also loves to play with them and stick them together and work on his small motor skills. So many different skills collaborated with one activity which is so fun! The color is super vibrant, we’ve had it for a year now and the color hasn’t wore at all, such durability! The Velcro is still in tact and works great, and they get used a lot!! The product is child safe and we have had no issues with loose pieces or paint chipping. I love how large the food is, big enough for them to truly work on their cutting skills. Great price for what you get, Montessori learning activities are the best and this is definitely a top 5 for us! ... show more

    • Beautiful product that little ones love.
Style: Retail Version Pattern Name: Play Food Set
This is very good looking. The paint is nicely done and the wood is very smooth. Very durable product. The little one I bought it for loved it. Very ingenious product that uses velcro to stick the pieces of vegetables and bread together that children then separate with their wooden knife. The child I bought it for is nearly 2, so she needed a little help, but felt so proud of herself for being able to cut like mommy does. I bought because I love Melissa and Doug products and know they are safe if a child places the product in their mouth....which most kids do. ... show more
