And I believe that wooden toys should last a long period of time (My son just got my little brothers´s building blocks for example) The paint also started flaking after a few days.The wooden food items are perfect for imaginative play and make a satisfying "CRUNCH" sound when sliced with the wooden knife on the cutting board. Our safe and durable toys inspire imaginative play and are designed to stand the test of time and be passed down through generations.

We make well-crafted toys that are developed with care to be passed down from generation to generation or shared family to family. They say it is a great toy that keeps their children occupied, and it's a useful prop for role play. Cutting the food makes a satisfying “crunch”–and provides a playful introduction to concepts of “whole,” “part,” and fractions. Percent HAPPINESS GUARANTEE: We design every toy to the highest quality standards, and to nurture minds and hearts. We had mix and match magnetic animals that sustained a fair amount of wear, but the items that have resided in the kids’ play kitchen hold up pretty well.It also comes with a cutting board and wooden knife, and when the kids cut the veggies or bread, it makes a sort of crunching noise as the velcro parts, giving kids a little audible feedback in their play. We know as savvy parents; you are always looking for the latest innovative and sought-after items for your little ones and so are we.

We love Mollie Katzen’s two vegetarian cookbooks for preschoolers (“Pretend Soup” and “Salad People”) and highly recommend them. Cutting the food makes a satisfying “crunch”—and provides a playful introduction to concepts of “whole,” “part,” and fractions.

My friend owns this set as well and she had the same problem with the velcro not working too well after a while. Cutting the food makes a satisfying "crunch"--and a playful introduction to concepts of "whole," "part," and fractions.The wood is not treated, the glue is safe, the paint is not toxic, and there are no harmful finishes on them. The Melissa and Doug cutting food set is composed of beautifully painted pieces that feature realistic details. Lovely fun items but this is the second set that I’ve bought and on the first cutting game the wood has split on two of the items again. Introduce your child to meal planning and food groups in general, while they learn about dairy products, meat, carbs, fat, and fruits and vegetables. Some mention that it's great for learning colors, while others say that some of the fruits are lazily painted and it confuses their daughter who is learning about colors.

Update: Gummylump has generously offered to give away a Cutting Food Box to one lucky Eco Child’s Play reader! Not only is this set a great way for kids to engage in imaginative play, it also helps introduce important concepts such as parts, wholes, and fractions.I though my 16 months old its too small for it but he likes his new set of fruit and plays with it everyday. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. This play set includes 8 pieces of wooden food, a cutting board and a wooden knife, to keep them safe as they practice their chopping skills. One fun thing they like to do is melt chocolate and spoon it into shapes on parchment, then drop on sprinkles and cool in the fridge. So, we have been working tirelessly to make this happen and we are pleased to announce our new “Partnered with” range.
