Retro sweet & candy set, 3+ Years

This wooden chopping board and food set is a fantastic educational toy. It promotes creativity and helps develop fine motor skills in children. The set is durable and well-crafted, though the paint may wear with rough play. It's a great way to introduce children to cooking in a fun and safe way.

Role play games with cooking and serving food seem to be a perennial favourite for little ones, both boys and girls. I guess it’s something they see in their lives everyday with their mum or dad making meals.For that kind of role play, this is a really great set of toys. My son, when he was little, had hours of fun with his toy food and cooking utensils playing cafés and shops and kitchens. He’d have loved something like this because it’s very interactive.In the set, you get a selection of plastic fruits and vegetables: watermelon, carrot, strawberry, lemon, kiwi, cucumber and a fig. Each item of fruit/veg is divided into two pieces (except the cucumber which is on the) which join together via Velcro tabs. Then there is a wooden knife and chopping board so the child can place a fruit or veg on the chopping board and, using the knife, ‘slice’ it into two pieces. There’s also a wooden peeler, so they can ‘pretend peel’ the food.The food items are brightly coloured and the insides of each are painted to look realistically like the real item - the seeds of the cucumber, the pips of the watermelon, the segments of the lemon, etc. All really nicely done and, of course, you can Velcro them back together to do it all again next time.I think this set is beautifully designed and made, with a lot of effort put into making the fruit and vegetables quite realistic, so there’s a bit of additional educational value there. And, of course, everything being solid wood, it has that bit of extra ‘class’ than if it were all plastic. It’s not cheap but it’ll be really durable and long-lasting.Each item in the set comes lovingly wrapped in protective tissue paper in the box. Having got this as a present fits a little girl I know, I didn’t want to unwrap and spoil the those wrapping for the photos.Little ones will have hours of role play fun with this.

So when I saw the price I was shocked. I love wooden toys but these are definitely on the pricey side. Having said that you do get what you pay for. To see each item is individually wrapped starts off strong. The toy itself is just pure quality and very well crafted. The colours are lovely and bright and this will be going strong in years and several grandchildren later. Really happy.

My daughter had tremendous fun playing with these vegetables and fruits. She loves 'cutting them' and I like that the velcro is not too difficult for her to break apart, just the right amount of challenge

This is so classy in terms of kids toys! Our 8 year old even loves playing with this set. It is gorgeous vibrant colours and really nice quality wood.

I’m a very big fan of wooden toys as I find a provide a different tactile environment for kids to play with rather than the consistent plastic toys. That are more common in today society.The colours are nice shapes are good and has quite a lot of utility for younger children and can likely be passed on to other children looks after.Good quality and worth the money.

These are beautifully made and look great. They are colourful and a good size for little hands. The velcro sticks nicely, and they are fun to cut up with the knife. There is also a peeler included which is a very cute touch and my 3 year old is obsessed with it! Amazing quality with almost no plastic packaging, anything we have seen from Le Toy Van has been amazing. I would highly recommend this set.

I love how the box comes with a quality seal sticker for peace of mind. You can really tell your buying a good quality product with that and especially upon opening to find each individual piece wrapped up neatly! Part of the fun for my 2yo unwrapping each one, the pieces are great quality and the colour finish I can't fault, I always prefer wooden over plastic and these are perfect and so simple to use for the little hands! Great for hand eye coordination and getting them started when they want to help in the kitchen.

This wooden toy cutting board and vegetable set look so realistic. The quality is phenomenal but the colors and details are truly impressive. Considering the detail and quality, this set is an incredible value!

Well made.

Love this wood toy set. They are great quality and my babe’s current favorites. She loves “cutting” her fruits and veggies. The strawberry is a little on the small side so beware for smaller toddlers, but other than that no concerns. I love how nicely wrapped they were packaged too.

Over all I think the wood is good quality but I am skeptical of the Velcro bits. I am worried about the longevity of the loop side of the velcro, especially if it gets a ton of use. If you have a carpet these are probably going to stick to it.

This company makes a really impressive set of toys. I really like their craftsmanship in how they make the toys. The food items are made of wood, they are solid and durable. They are painted to look like fruits and veggies and the cutest part about this set is that you can use the little tool to chop the fruits and veggies in half on the cutting board. My daughter sat there for about an hour chopping and prepping for her strawberry and cucumber soup to feed me! Happy with the quality and will buy from them again.
