Product Information

The Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Wooden Play Food set makes an exceptional gift for kids ages 3 to 5 years. The Toy Centre is an online retailer of quality traditional children's toys, gifts and furniture items.

We have the same set at my preschool, and it has held up much better under more use, but perhaps less “abuse”. 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. Cognitive Skills: Brain-boosting play sets that reinforce easy-learning concepts and processing skills to promote mental dexterity, problem-solving skills and school readiness. This wooden play food set is perfect for young chefs looking to explore a little mealtime fun--without the mess!

Fine Motor Skills:Toys that train the small muscles in the hands and fingers, building the strength, control and precision that enable everyday life skills such as self-feeding, dressing and undressing, drawing and writing. 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.

Benefits from playing are learning to share toys, learning to count and identify different objects, how to take care of belongings and how to clean up.To ensure the world has healthy forests AND high-quality wooden toys, we’ve committed to planting 10 million trees by 2030. Included are a carrot, a cucumber, an apple, a bell pepper, two kinds of bread, a tomato, and slice of watermelon, all fitting together into a wooden crate. Have the child identify the colors of each food item, and sort the items by color among the four crates. She loves being around the kitchen so I’m sure it won’t be hard to get her interested in the kitchen. They have other wood toys that have held up wonderfully, but in my experience this set is not worth the money.

They say it is a great toy that keeps their children occupied, and it's a useful prop for role play. These play vegetables are made out of solid wood and make a satisfying cutting sound when your child slices the wood knife through the pieces.The slicing and cutting pretend play features help children learn early mathematical concepts, sorting, grouping, and color recognition.
