Hape Chef’s Choice Wooden Play Food Basics Set | Wooden Pretend Play Food Set for Kids, Basic Play Velcro Cooking Ingredients and Accessories Set

My 2 year old daughter loves this set to play with in her Hape kitchen and the pieces hold up so well to toddlers who still like to put things in their mouths. My 18 month old son chews on the egg every time I turn my back and it still looks brand new. The Velcro works very well after REPEATED attaching and detaching LOL. This stuff also washes really well! We all just got over the flu and bronchitis, so, naturally, I sterilized my ENTIRE damn house.... I washed these with Mrs Meyers dish soap in scalding hot water and let them air dry, and they were fine! Sterile and fine! These are amazing quality and the kids will love it! We are definitely buying more little Hape food!

I bought these late last year for a Christmas present for my then three-year old boy. He loves "cooking" me dinners using these pieces, and his interest in cooking hasn't waned. The paint hasn't chipped off, and despite use for at least once or twice per week, the velcro is still sticking together. He did find it hard at first to cut the veggies and bread, but he seems to be having an easier time of it now. I'm not certain if it's because his strength and fine motor skills are increasing with age or if the velcro is starting to loosen up.My only complaint is that the pizza is too small and the sandwich bread pieces looks boring--just pieces of wood with no paint. I bought this set along with pieces from Melissa and Doug, so he is able to easily mix and match between the different sets, but this is the one he prefers.

First, I want to say that I looked for a few months at different wooden vegetable sets...I saw several and almost bought a couple, but something kept telling me to wait. Then I saw this one, not sure if I had just missed it before or what, but I am SO HAPPY I waited! I bought this for my 18 month old daughter, who is now 21 months, and she LOVES it!!! The vegetables are not too hard for her to cut but challenging enough, and the pieces are not too small but small enough for her tiny hands. Just in the past few months, she has become a pro at cutting the vegetables and holding the knife correctly, which was something she learned after playing with these items. I know as she gets older, she'll continue to build on her imagination and prepare herself to help mommy with real veggies. The other thing I liked about these is something they were really not meant for. In the past few months, she's cut her last two front teeth, so she CONSTANTLY had these items in her mouth...you just can't prevent it sometimes! With the exception of the mushrooms (which I put up and have recently given back to her), I didn't have to worry about the veggies being too small and her choking on them...even when cut in half. And they are so durable!! They still look like they just came out of the box...even having been chewed on for several weeks!! I am very happy with this product and intend on buying more Hape products in the future. Oh, and the cutting board is just a great addition as she sees mommy use a cutting board daily...it's the icing on the cake.

This is a good little set. I bought it for my 20 month old to go with his play kitchen. He had trouble cutting at first but is doing well with it now. I like that there are different levels of difficulty depending on what is being cut. For instance the French bread is flat and won't roll away vs the carrot needs to be held with one hand and cut with the other. The paint on the has held up well even after being thrown around on our hardwood floors. I would recommend this set. Depending on the age you may want to put up some of the smaller pieces like the mushrooms until your child isn't putting things in their mouth.

I did lots of searching for a good starter set for my son. He is 19 months, and is a total boy (throws things, isn't super gentle, and isn't into tedious things). I had no idea if he would actually play with fake food - but I needed something new for him to do in the house when we couldn't go outside to play.I first got a fabric set of food from IKEA (the breakfast set). He barely noticed it. I really do like the fabric sets, but for some reason he just isn't drawn to them. Then, I personally fell in love with the wooden cutting food items. I did tons of amazon searching, and decided that this set had a good mix of items. I took a gamble and ordered it - and am very glad that I did!I don't know if he would have been interested in plain play food at this age....the cutting aspect is awesome! It took him a day or so to understand what was happening. I actually brought him into the kitchen and showed him how mama cuts food, and that he can do it too! And now, he loves to cut the pieces!It is great quality - I don't think the paint will be chipping like M&D products. The size is perfect (and will continue to be for any kiddo age I believe. Its really beautiful, and looks great with our IKEA Duktig kitchen. It seems like these pieces will be around for a long time.The only downsides are the pizza and cheese. They are kind of pointless. They don't slice, and the pizza doesn't really look like pizza. The cheese is sorta random (but my kid doesn't like cheese...yeah I know...weird...so maybe another kid who likes cheese will appreciate it). And actually, he likes the mushrooms (he likes saying "mushroom").So all in all, I am glad I got this set because I will definitely only buy wooden cutting food, unless we want something that needs to "stack" like Pizza or a sandwich....because wood just slides too much to be fun I think (I like the Haba Biofina line).Also, he typically is a thrower - but I have made it very clear for a while now that we only throw balls in the house, no other toys. So, I just continue that teaching, yet I have been hit with a mushroom...but like any other toy that gets thrown, it goes into timeout. So, yeah, it could be dangerous - but it may be a good opportunity to teach them to not throw certain things? At least it is for us :)

Estos juguetes están hechos de una muy buena calidad, tanto la madera como la pintura, incluso el belcro es muy resistente, fue un regalo para una sobrina y le encantó,

Mia figlia ha ricevuto questo set per il suo secondo compleanno ed è letteralmente impazzita. Adora tagliare le sue verdure mentre cuciniamo insieme. All'inizio però non riusciva a usare il coltello in legno perché la lama è un po' doppia e non passa agilmente tra le due parti di un alimento, lei lo ha sostituito con uno in plastica di un altro set che aveva. La qualità del legno e dei colori è ottima, nonostante li metta spesso in bocca sono ancora integri

acheté pour notre fils (maintenant sa petite soeru qui joue aussi avec).beaucoup sollicité et joué avec. le scratch tient toujours et les couleurs ne sont pas abimées. donc vraiment tres bonne qualité.je recommande.

Alles aus Vollholz, liebevoll lackiert. Die Lackierung hält bisher auch härtesten Einsatz ziemlich gut aus und unser Sohn (18 Monate) weiß zwar noch gar nicht richtig mit was er spielt, aber er liebt die Holzteile und morgens nach dem Aufstehen ist sein erster Gang in seine Spielzeugküche von Hape :-). Preis Leistung finde ich in Ordnung, das Holzspielzeug macht sowohl mir als auch unserem Sohn viel Spaß und es ist ein gutes Gefühl Holzspielzeug zu nutzen und nicht bei allem auf Plastikspielzeug zurückgreifen zu müssen.

Increíble la calidad y acabados de este juguete. Mi hija de 2 años está encantada.Me gusta tanto el producto como el precio.Nada malo que decir al respecto
