Melissa & Doug Wooden Cutting Food - 10487

Great alternative to plastic toys. Kids love it.

Another great product from Melissa & Doug, the Food groups crates were a great addition to our shop (from GLTC). The crates are quite small, (approx 6.5"x 4.5") but perfect for little hands, the food is brightly painted and set out in food group crates (not that they will stay like that).I personally prefer the wooden, painted play food as opposed to the plastic food you can get, it is a little bit more expensive, but I think worth it, for the quality and general feel of it, i really feel that because it's so well made it's worth the investment.We have a huge selection to choose from, and we've gone from the basic shop playing game to making real purchases and charging real prices, so it's a great toy to grow with kids from early years, till they're ready to start learning about money and then you can incorporate that aspect as well.Highly recommended, very hard wearing and fun.

You could get other toy food for a cheaper price, but this is really good quality and very durable.Lots of fun to play with (as the kids played 'shop' all the time)Lots of choice and the trays they come in are also very handy for tidy up time (which is always done by me as the kids just abandon it all on the floor and leave it for me to tidy up....just like their dad does!)Jokes aside, a great purchase and good quality, and we sold these once the kids grew out of them, so we got some money back afterwards.Excellent purchase, and product!

Great value for money!! Got it for my children’s play kitchen and they love it - for the price you can’t go wrong brilliant quality and love that it comes with tha little boxes :)

Little one loved it.Really good quality and detailed worth the money

Really good , as what it says.

My kids have got endless play from these toy foods and they are definitely an investment that they will have for years. They are very durable, made from solid wood and are a decent size. They are far better than the plastic and cardboard alternatives that you often receive with shop/kitchen play sets that only last a few weeks before getting squashed! Some of the fruits such as the apple and tomatoe are very solid however and could cause an issue if your toddler was in the throwing stage!The colours are bright and vivid and all the pieces that we received have maintained their colour. They have a decent amount of detail on them so kids can instantly recognise what foods they are meant to be.The little crates are sturdy too and are handy for helping kids sort the food into food groups. My kids have played with these toys loads in their toy kitchen, and regularly set up a shop too with these items. They are their favourite toy foods of all the various kinds that we have.

I bought my Grandson a wooden shopping trolley for his 2nd birthday as he loves going the food shop, I then needed to find wooden food items to go in it, I came across this pack at Amazon which I thought looked good as it covered the 4 main food groups and I thought it would be useful to teach him what each food item was, each food group was in its own wee wooden box and packaged nicely. The quality was good and the price was reasonable, the item was dispatched quickly and arrived within a couple of days … great service!
