    Melissa & Doug make great items for all ages of children, and so many of them are excellent STEM learning tools. These four little crates of assorted foods are well made, and my little grandson loves them.He is learning colors, shapes, placing different items in different crates, and names of foods. I can make it a game for him while he is learning.Love these wooden play food sets. I trust items from Melissa & Doug.Highly recommend.

    The media could not be loaded. Cute, solid, good size, and vibrant. I also like the little wooden crates that the pieces come in. These seem pricy but when you actually compare closely to other options, it’s not bad for how many pieces and the quality you’re getting.A few downsides: some of the pieces are less detailed than others. For example, the orange is literally just an orange ball, vs the cheese which has some character. Also, there’s a few pieces with unfinished wood, including the bread. Raw wood is less play-friendly so I try to avoid it with the little one’s toys.Overall, a good purchase. The kiddo is enjoying them.

    This toy was really good. Made well and looked like real food.

    We got these to go along with the Fresh Mart store to add some filler to the shelves. The pieces are of nice, heavy wood and the storage boxes look adorable in the store as well! My daughter and goddaughter go crazy to play pretend with these toys! My only issue with the set would be the slices of sandwich bread are unfinished wood, very rough.

    I bought these a few years ago for my son who’s now 8, and kept them to hand down to my younger daughter. The kids really enjoyed playing with them, because they do look very realistic compared to other play food sets. However, as a mom I had a couple complaints:1) They are painted wood. This means if your toddler is teething, they are going to get wet which means the paint will come off and (in my opinion) needs to be immediately tossed out. This was the reason we ultimately had to say goodbye to this set.2) The sorting “crates” are very flimsy. One stop on them from my 3 year old made them fall apart. Cracked wood that ended up giving him a splinter on more than one occasion.This set is worth the buy as long as you DO NOT get them wet (sorry, no fishy in the bath like mine wanted to do) or give them to a teething toddler, and don’t expect the crates to last too long. I found a better hard rubber set that doesn’t have paint on it that we like much much better!

    These are great for the new play kitchen we bought for our church. I love that they are wooden and easy to clean. They are good quality like all Melissa and Doug toys so I highly recommend to anyone to purchase these.

    Well made and great price

    Made of wood, and the paint looks great. I wholly recommend, and will look for other melissa & doug products for future gifts.

    Perfectos, muy buena calidad

    Son muy lindos! Rosa mi familia los adora. Mi hija los puede aventar, morder y usar sin ningún problema. El diseño es hermoso. Los canastos dónde vienen si tienen un par de astillas que hay que quitar, pero el resto está excelente!

    Nice and wooden

    Great alternative to plastic toys. Kids love it.

    Molto carini

    Molto carini, alcuni oggetti tipo l'arancia ed il pomodoro se lanciati potrebbero fare male perchè un pò pesanti, quindi li ho messi da parte finchè mia figlia è cresciuta un pò. Adesso ci gioca ancora, sono in legno e ben fatti, resistenti.

    Schön gestaltetes, detailreiches und kindgerechtes Set für den Kaufladen oder die Spielküche mit vielen verschiedenen Sachen. Die Kids lieben es damit zu spielen. Seit etwas mehr als 1 Jahr täglich in Gebrauch (oder im Mund), aber bisher keine Probleme oder Verschleiß.Vor allem die kleinen Körbe sind perfekt für den Kaufladen.
